Camera Equipment Rental

Here is the layout. Camera gear rental in Colombia routes through a defined set of rental houses. Cinetech Bogota as the dominant ARRI and Sony Venice anchor, 5.1 Cine as the second cinema package house, LaBu Films for combined camera-grip-lighting builds, AndaluCine for the Medellin spread, Camara y Accion for the Cartagena coastal corridor, and Dynamo Studios for the in-house gear retained from the Narcos co-production legacy — and our team books across those inventories to assemble the body, lens, support, and accessory stack a production actually needs.

Here is what we have to work with. ARRI Alexa 35, Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2, RED V-Raptor 8K, Blackmagic URSA, and Canon C500 Mk II broadcast bodies sit at the centre of the request list, supported by Cooke S7/i and S4/i sets, Angenieux Optimo zooms, ARRI Signature Primes, Zeiss Supreme Primes, Atlas Orion anamorphics (the Monos look Mauricio Vidal pushed onto Sony Venice), and the vintage glass David Gallego favours for Embrace of the Serpent and Memoria-style anthropological work. Each package goes through logged prep at Cinetech or 5.1 Cine before delivery, with sensor cleaning, lens calibration, firmware logged, batteries conditioned for Bogota's 2,640m altitude draw, and media formatted to the DIT's workflow.

Here is the layout. Global shoots land most of their gear at El Dorado BOG cargo in Bogota, with DIAN ATA Carnet records processed through Colombia's customs authority and clearance handled by the same coordinator that books the rental. Road haulage runs the consolidated shipments and the inter-city moves. Bogota to Medellin 8 to 10 hours, Bogota to Cali 8 to 10 hours, Bogota to Cartagena 18 to 22 hours via Ruta del Sol — and the Pacific Choco corridor (Bahia Solano, Nuqui) goes by Satena or charter only.

Here is how the work shapes up. Camera runners, focus pullers, and DITs trained through the Bogota ad-spot and telenovela pipelines (RCN, Caracol, Dynamo) can be added to the booking when prep support at the Cinetech cage or on-set help during a Sierra Nevada altitude unit or Cartagena Walled City night exterior is needed. Emergency replacement and cross-rental between Cinetech, 5.1 Cine, LaBu, and AndaluCine runs through the same coordinator. This matters when an Alexa Mini LF goes down on day three of a Ciudad Perdida or La Guajira schedule.
