This Camera is Great in Low Light Situations @canonusa #c300mkii #lasvegasvideoproduction
Now, it's no Sony a7S, but the Canon C300 Mark II can hold it's own at higher ISO's (and it looks way cooler). You don't have to worry about grain or muted blacks, no, no, that's a thing of the past. With an ISO range of 160 - 25600 (100 - 102400 When the sensitivity is expanded), you can really push the limits, especially given the Mark II's 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor that supports 4K (DCI) recording with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. In layman's terms: it's a dang-fine ol' camera to make your movie pictures with! We challenge you to rent one of our here fine rigs, and see just how creative you can be in a low light situations. For all of your Las Vegas video production rental gear needs, look no further than F11 Rentals.
A Lighting Bouquet #cineo #arri #setlighting #cinema #nbasummerleague
F11 Rentals exists joyfully in a state of "Thunderdome"- what does that mean? Let me explain. There are no rules, there are no guidelines, and we have been known to share our packages with ANYONE willing to pay. All that being said, we still have some pretty high standards, and want to be the best at... whatever it is that we're doing. Recently, we got to flex our Thunderdome-muscle and send a huge grip and electric package out for some fun with the NBA summer league. Our Cineo HS2's worked seamlessly with our Arri Tungsten lights and even some lekos for good measure. I'm not going to waste your time with how amazing our Kino 4-banks and Divas were... I think you already know. Oh, and, if you're worried about all that gorgeous 3200K light spilling all over the set, don't worry, we've got flags, and floppies, and frames, and all that good stuff... unless, you want the chaos!
F11 Rentals Has a New Set of Wheels #americangrip #videoproduction
Life on these Las Vegas video production sets moves pretty fast, if you can't keep up, you'll find yourself left behind. We here at F11 Rentals know it's important to work hard, but also, smart; that's why we upgraded some of our favorite American Grip stands for maximum velocity and maneuverability. We added wheels to our Dana Dolly stands, as well as a set for our Combo and Mombo Combo stands. With these wheels, gone are the days when you needed big, burly men and women with rippling glutes and pecks to hoof these heavy stands around set. Now, you can have whichever fragile weakling you can find to simply push the stands to their new location. On top of all that, they're removable, so if you missed your workout at Planet Fitness, feel free to take them off and really hammer away at your glutes and core. So, for your next Las Vegas video production rental gear order, throw on some of these wheeled stands, heck, even if you don't need them, they'll be a good time.
F11 Rentals Is Melting!
We all know it's hot 'round these here parts- it's the desert southwest. Phoenix, Palm Springs, Yuma, Las Vegas... all, very hot; I mean, just an hour away is a place called Death Valley. This last week however, has been especially tremendous, as we were offered a piece of Las Vegas history when we tied a daily high of 117℉. So, what do we here at F11 Rentals do when it gets so hot- well, we keep working, preferably either in the back of our grip van (doors closed to reduce ventilation) or directly in the sun shine. Our mantra is, if you're going to do something, do it all the way, that's why we happily sent one of our awesome Canon C300 Mark II's over to the amazing pool at Caesars Palace. Now, before you get all critical and finger point-y, we were totally over dressed, and didn't even sample the refreshing beverages. We did snap a photo of the fun, just to document the occasion. So, if you'd like to get out and enjoy some video production work in this scorching heat, give F11 Rentals a shout, and we'll get you set up with the best Las Vegas video production rental gear available.

Gas, Grass, or Glass... No One Rides For Free!
It was a beautiful, sunny day in Hollywoodland, California; F11 Rental's proprietor was cruising back to Las Vegas, when he spotted a stranger on the side of the road. This stranger had his bindle and bowler hat, and was sepia in tone. With his free hand, the stranger motioned eastward with his thumb, hoping for a ride through the hot and desolate Mojave Desert. Perhaps feeling bad for the stranger, our proprietor pulled to the side of the road, while all other vehicles zoomed past the beleaguered man.
The proprietor rolled his window down, "Where you heading?" "How far you going?" the stranger inquired. The proprietor chuckled, "Well, I'm headed to Vegas, but, the ride isn't free." The stranger looked a bit perplexed. "Gas, grass, or glass; no one rides for free." the proprietor said confidently. The stranger thought a moment, then, with a twinkle in his eye, reached into his bindle and pulled out six Schneider-KREUZNACH Cine-Xenar III prime lenses, "Will these get me to Vegas?" The proprietor grinned, "Saddle up, partner."
So, now we have an 18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 95mm Schneider-KREUZNACH Cine-Xenar III lens- and they should be available for your rental enjoyment soon.

Holy Guacamole, It's Busy! #videoproduction #gripgear #greenscreen
Spring is a busy season for Las Vegas video production, and the same goes for rental houses. The kiddos are in school, studying, or Tweeting, or whatever they do these days... And, mom and dad are jet-bound for various conferences across the country. One of the busiest conference and expo towns in America is right here: fabulous Las Vegas, NV. We here at F11 Rentals are all about teamwork and taking care of our clients. Such was the situation last week, when the boss happily volunteered his time after hours for a delivery to one of our dear friends turned clients on the UNLV campus. We kept our spirits high, and the gear even higher as we delivered on time (as far as we could tell) with smiles on our faces (to distract from the bags under our eyes). If you're in need of the best video production rental gear in Las Vegas, look no further than your amigos here at F11 Rentals. Adios.
F11 Rentals Checks Out New Cars!
Last week, F11 Rentals sent a beloved Canon C300 Mark II over to the Wynn and Encore Resorts where some shiny new cars were being unveiled to some eager spectators. There were pans, tilts, and rack focus action as the super-fast 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor captured all the action. Coupled with superb Canon L-Series lenses, and an able bodied DP, the footage came out great, and the client was more than happy. Bonus: there were also some celebrities floating around- which is always exciting! For your next Las Vegas video production, look no further than F11 Rentals for the best Las Vegas video rental gear.
