About This Service
Assignment Desk provides access to the world's most sought-after cinema cameras through our staff Directors of Photography and equipment partnerships. Whether your production calls for the color science of an ARRI Alexa, the resolution of a RED DSMC2, or the versatility of a Sony FX9, our crews arrive on set with the right camera system for your project's creative and technical requirements.
Our camera packages go far beyond the body itself. Each DP maintains a complete cinema kit including professional prime and zoom lenses, wireless follow focus systems, monitoring solutions, matte boxes, filtration, and camera support. This means you get a fully integrated, broadcast-ready camera system without the hassle of coordinating separate rentals from multiple vendors.
For productions requiring specialty camera systems beyond what our staff DPs carry — such as high-speed Phantom cameras, large-format ARRI Alexa 65, or specialty rigs — Assignment Desk can coordinate equipment rentals through our network of trusted rental houses in every major market.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cinema camera systems do your crews use?
Our staff DPs primarily shoot on Sony FX9, RED Komodo, and ARRI Alexa Mini systems. Specific camera selection depends on the production's requirements — ARRI for premium color science, RED for high resolution and slow motion, and Sony for versatile broadcast and commercial work.
Can I request a specific camera model for my production?
Yes. When booking through Assignment Desk, specify your preferred camera system and we will match you with a DP who owns that gear. If a specialty camera is needed beyond what our staff carries, we can coordinate rentals through trusted local rental houses.
Are cinema lenses included with the camera package?
Yes. Our DPs arrive with professional cinema lenses suited to the production — typically a set of primes and a cinema zoom. Lens choices include Zeiss CP.3, Canon CN-E, Sony G-Master, and Sigma Cine series depending on the DP and the shoot requirements.
Do you provide 4K and 6K recording capabilities?
Absolutely. All of our cinema camera systems record in 4K or higher resolution. RED cameras offer up to 8K recording, ARRI Alexa Mini delivers 4.5K, and Sony FX9 shoots 4K with S-Cinetone. We also support various codecs including ProRes, RAW, and XAVC for flexible post-production workflows.
Is the camera package included in the crew day rate?
Yes. Assignment Desk staff DPs include their full camera, lens, lighting, and audio equipment in the crew day rate. There are no hidden rental fees or equipment surcharges — the quoted rate covers the DP and their complete production package.
