And I have an HVR-V1 which is the next generation - very similar HDV camera and could hook up with Frazier for combined shipping.
 
Hey Bob, try http://www.alchemyfilms.net/

I used to work for them out there and they had a z1. Atlas were going to be another recommendation also. Beyond them I dont know anyone big that would stock that sort of camera. If you want to upgrade to reds Alchemy is the place to go though....
 
Thanks guys, i need these companies to be in Dubai, we land tuesday and need to collect cameras that day ready for wednesday, so need to get tem all from on Camera Facility if possible. Atlas seem busy....maybe there's:thumbup: room for another facility over there.

cheers carl will look into that today.
 
Hi Rob,

Don't know if you already spoke to my office already, but We've got 2 z1s and an HVX still and a couple of 5Ds if that floats your boat.

Feel free to call if you haven't already.

Cheers for the nod Carl.

thank you everyone for the help. We now have 6 cameras for the shoot from one source.
 
A quick update on this..which i hope will be useful.

We hired 6 cameras from CAMERENT i here n the UK. They were hired by the production company, and collected by a producer.

I didn't see the kit until i arrived in Dubai.

The cameras were in such poor condition that we ended up instantly hiring 2 Z1's out in Dubai from Alchemy films, who were brilliant....thank you Andrew!...we would have been stuck without your help.

So far CAMERENT have taken £2000.00 from the production company and are chasing more money, for the pleasure of renting us kit that was in the poorest condition that i have ever witnessed from any hire company in my 25+ years in the industry..!!. If the production company had googled them before renting they would have found many many unhappy customers testimonials.

Take from this story what you will, but i felt obliged to share my experience to fellow Redusers as i originally reached out on here to find the kit.
 
Dubai is a fun place to work!

Getting kit in and out is a pain though and the paperwork can be very time consuming. I think it is wise to consider hiring your kit locally in Dubai which avoids the customs pain and you'll need to work with a local approved production company to get your filming permits - you'll need LOTS of these if you plan to shoot in public locations :mad2:

Happy to help anyone whose planning a Dubai shoot, just PM me.

Best wishes

Scott
