Equipment + Camera/Lens Rental
The studio is fully equipped with a range of lighting and modification from Pixapro as well as grip, stand and backgrounds. Any additional backgrounds (paper colours) required can be arranged with enough notice and at your expense.
The lights and triggers will work with a range of cameras including ( Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sony, Olympus) however I have not tested the triggers with all camera makes and models, it is up to the person hiring the studio/shooting to confirm if the studios triggers will work. Not all functions will be available on the lights/triggers such as (High Speed Sync/FP sync) this is due to the triggers being Canon based, however the Phottix Stratos II triggers have worked on all cameras that have come in to the studio so far.
Please feel free to bring your own triggers if you wish.

The Pixapro Storm/Hybrid/Li-ION lights are capable of fast (short) flash duration's which work well for freezing motion and they are also capable of High Speed Sync. * Correct Godox or Pixapro triggers required for your camera system which are to be provided by you. The trigger at the studio are Canon based but they will work and provide power control for other camera brands.
