About Professional Cine Cameras

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.
