New hire kit from VMI

3rd Phantom arrives

It has never been in contention that Phantoms are the best Super Slow Motion Cameras in the world.

 In view of this, VMI today received its third Phantom VEO 4K camera which makes us the largest Phantom VEO 4K rental stockist in the UK.

These have been used in the UK and on every continent, for docs, dramas, features and commercials.

Our clients have used them on jibs, underwater, in freezing conditions and the desert.

Light enough to use on a crane or gimbal, at 2.5kg, they are even light enough to be drone-mounted.

  • 5-1000fps

Budget 1000fps in HD

Not every production can afford or justify using a Phantom VEO 4K camera, so the Chronos 1.4 is an ideal 3rd unit camera to capture a short super-slow-motion shot.

 

It is an extremely compact super slow motion camera capable of 1000fps in HD (1280x1024) and has a very affordable price tag of just £220 per day. 

 

Video is captured in compressed h.264 or uncompressed RAW format to removable SD-XC cards (media and lens included). 

 

  • 1057fps in HD
  • Very small & compact 
  •  Lens included
  • H.264 capture to SD-XC
  • £Budget

More RED Geminis

5K and really good in low light, so we bought more Geminis.

The DSMC2 Gemini system offers superior low light performance than the Helium sensor and the camera incorporates a taller sensor too, so better for anamorphic capture.

5K resolution fully complies with UHD 4K requirements, so this is a very popular camera for Natural History production and now also being used for drama acquisition too.


 

Dedicated Time Lapse camera with motion detection

A camera solely designed to shoot both time-lapse sequences and motion detection sequences in HD.

This camera is designed as a long term time-lapse camera, as it uses AA batteries which can power the camera for weeks/months without power running out, includes a lens and records HD 1080 onto MP4 file format onto internal cards.

 The system includes a macro zoom lens, is wi-fi controllable and weather resistant (IP65 rated).

Cooke Panchro Classics T2.3-T2.8

Vintage is still in vogue, so VMI now stock the Cooke Panchro Classic which is a modern remake of the vintage primes that we know as Speed Panchros.

 

They are apparently true to the original look, contain modern glass and also the /i technology for frame by frame digital information capture

 

 

Sigma Cinema Lenses extended to 10 incl. 28mm/T1.5

Sigma has increased its range of cinema primes to 10 lenses now including the 28mm/T1.5, 

Incredible 4K resolution and solidly built, these are available now in PL and EF. All are T1.5, except for 14mm and 135mm which are T2.

All PL and most EF focal lengths stocked by VMI.

 

 

More E-Mount Lenses

The Sony FS7 and FS7 Mk II are seriously impressive cameras and more and more clients are choosing lenses which mount directly to the native E mount.

 

Choose from Sony Gmaster zooms, Fuji MK zooms and Veydra Cinema Mini primes. All are suitable and none require a Metabones or other lens adapter to work with FS7 I/II for speed and simplicity.

  • Sony 16-35mm         F2.8 power zoom

  • Sony 70-200mm F2.8 power zoom

Infiniprobe Robusto Lens 

The latest in our range of probe lenses with the arrival of. the Infiniprobe TS-160 Robusto

The TS-160 can focus from infinity to only millimetres from an object. Unlike any of the other InfiniProbes, TS-160 can be used directly with almost any digital or video camera, as it works with EF or PL mounts —all while producing world-class images comparable to the best zoom microscopes that do not directly cover formats up to 35mm. 

The 'city' film clip was shot by Lewis and Ian of the inside of a computer, to show how the perspective can be manipulated by using the Infiniprobe lens.
