Tri-Pod Miller Arrow 40 http://www.prokit.co.uk/products/miller-arrow-40.html

I have chosen this tri-pod because the features and facilities on it are up to standard with what I need.
It has a 7 position selectable option, a pan tilt head 4 position rear-mounts, and counterbalance. The
tripod is ultra-light, so I can easily move it around and adjust the camera angle I want. It also features
a bag and on the tripod itself it has carrying handles, easy for moving the tripod from room or position
to position quickly.

Arri True Blue D25

Following the introduction of the True Blue tungsten lamp heads, Arri is the True Blue D5 has over 30
new improvements. With reduced weight, compact size and maximum light output, the blue daylight
series sets a new standard for professional lighting equipment. This type of lighting will be crucial for
me to use in different effects for my movies. For example, if I was filming in a cage, I need a decent
amount of light to show the full qualities and physical appearance of the cave, so this type of lighting
will benefit me.



Cost of one of these = 7,764.00

Chimera Octa 2 Beauty Dish

Sound equipment


Sennheiser HD 26 PRO Headphones

The HD 26 PRO - the perfect headphones for radio and television broadcast productions. Because of
its closed design this headphones offer a high passive noise attenuation. It will be good for me as

a small housing. This will come in use to me because it will be ideal for recording peoples voices
in a simple manner outside the camera shot.
