HD Hire is small company of DOP Murray Milne and sound recordist Terry King. We aim to provide personal, friendly service with very competitive rates. The emphasis at all times is on quality and professionalism - backed up by our many years experience shooting all over New Zealand and many parts of the world.

HD Hire proudly offer an immaculate Sony 700 HD XDCAM for dry hire. The camera is fastidiously maintained and presented. We believe it is the optimum in HD XDCAM and the most user-friendly format for HD.

The camera and lenses are brand new and set up ideally for documentaries, TV dramas and TVC`s. The camera kit includes a light weight, 2 stage Chrosziel matte-box for hand held and doco work, a Sachtler 25 head and 3 stage heavy duty tripod with carbon fibre legs, a servo zoom control and extra long Fujinon HA23x7.6 HD lens.

All the equipment is superbly cased in rigidised aluminium cases from Roadmaster.

The additional wide angle lens is the latest extra-wide Fujinon HA13x4.5 HD

Equipment

Lightweight Documentary Kit

We can package the system to your requirements as a fully featured but lightweight documentary kit with the Chrosziel 2 stage mattebox for 4 x 5.65 and/or 4 x 4 filters, Sachtler 25 head with 3 stage heavy duty carbon fibre tripod, a servo zoom control, and extra-long Fujinon HA23 x 7.6mm zoom lens. An additional highly spec'ed extra-wide lens is also available

Digital Cinematography

For digital cinematography style shooting for TVCs and TV drama the matte-box with top and side flags give great flare control - and makes the camera look pretty impressive too !

We also have a Panasonic 8" HD SDI monitor and a beautiful Sony 24" full HD (1920x1080) LCD monitor

Wide Angle Lens

The additional wide angle zoom lens is the latest super-wide Fujinon HA13 x 4.5mm HD. The sound recordist may not like you but the dynamic wide shots are very exciting - especially desirable when shooting in wide-screen format. 4.5mm is the widest, giving over 88 degrees with minimal distortion - and the 13x zoom ratio plus 2x extender means you'll rarely need to take it off !

Roadmaster Cases

The camera and lenses are brand new and superbly presented in rigidised aluminium cases from Roadmaster NZ.
