What Gear Does C King Media Use?

One of the most common questions we get is: “What kind of gear are you bringing to my shoot?”The answer isn’t a one-size-fits-all list. Our gear setup depends on the assignment, the team, and the scale of the project. If we’re covering a large corporate event with multiple photographers and videographers, the gear list looks very different than if we’re live streaming a private service or producing a talking-head video. To keep things simple (and so we don’t have to update this post every time new gear comes in), we’ve created an up-to-date GEAR LIST here that you can reference anytime. Here’s a quick snapshot of what you’ll typically find in our kits:

Cameras

• Canon 4K Cinema Cameras – primarily the Canon C70

• Canon R5 Mark II – versatile for photo and video

• DJI Drones – aerial coverage when the project calls for it

Audio & Live Streaming

• Zoom H6 / H4 recorders

• Rode & Sennheiser lav mic kits

• Blackmagic livestream switchers

• LiveU cellular bonders for remote streaming

• Professional headsets and comms systems

Lighting Photography

• Profoto strobes

• Elinchrom, Westcott, and Aputure Modifiers

Video

• Aputure

• ARRI

• Dedolight

Support Gear

• Tripods: Sachtler and Benro systems
• A variety of rigs, gimbals, and stands depending on the scale of the shoot

Why the Gear List Varies

Each production is unique. Sometimes we bring in extra crew with their own gear, or rent specialty equipment for a very specific need. Other times, a streamlined setup is best. The bottom line: we always match the gear to the job so you get the right tools for the right outcome.
