A review: Litepanels Astra 6x
We've recently procured some amazing light panels- not just light panels, but Litepanels... Litepanels Astra 6x to be more precise. If you're in the know, and we know you already know, because no one who doesn't know is worth knowing, you know that these lights are AMAZING!
The output is incredible, it's powerful but soft. The temperature range is broad, but it's calculated and precise. The light panels come in pairs (because no one rides alone), with collapsable stands, and both AC power and V-mount plates- all in a strong, dependable case.
These lights are not only popular because they made varsity their freshman year, but also, because they're friends with everyone from the A/V Club to shop class. If you want to be cool also, try renting a pair, and see what it will do for your hallway status- I bet you start getting invited to way more parties!
Teradek Bolt: A Review #teradek #bolt #lasvegasvideoproduction
Hello friends, pull up a seat, and let's have a quick review of the Teradek Bolt 500 3G-SDI wireless video transmitter. The Bolt is designed to transmit virtually lossless video up to 500', we have found this to be pretty accurate; the distance does greatly depend on physical barriers, but even still, the range is great. Multiple Bolts: like a lightning storm, you can have multiple Bolts in one area, operating and getting along well, all at the same time. There is a built-in HDMI-SDI converter that allows you to connect both the on-camera monitor and video source via the same device, which has worked out great when used with our Ronin 2. We also have the SmallHD 703 Bolt 7" wireless director's monitor, which pairs perfectly with the Bolt, and provides mobility and flexibility on set.
So, overall- this is a great device that provides exceptional video in real time and gives you the freedom and flexibility you've always craved.
Follow Focus for Rent #lasvegasvideoproduction #followfocus #tilta #nucleus-m
Follow focus here! Get your follow focus! That's right ladies and germs, you want them, we've got them. Icy cold, or piping hot! Tilta's brand new, fresh-car smelling, Nucleus-M follow focus system is here, and it's ready for rental. It's got power steering, heated seats, AM/FM radio, four-ish wheels, and has only been driven to church on Sunday's.
Are your hands busy doing other things? Are you not an octopus or a spider? Do you not find yourself with the abilities of deities like Ganesha, Parvati, or Shiva? Well, that's okay, we've got you covered.
The Tilta Nucleus-M is a dynamite product that is versatile, rugged, dynamic, and easy to use. It comes with three motors to drive your iris, aperture, and focus. It's got a slick handheld control for your world class AC (even if they have small, Junior-Whopper hands), and two grip-controls to throw on that fly shoulder rig we're building up, in case your AC is at a sick rave, and can't make the shoot. But wait, it get's better. There's even a carrying case! I know; no more grocery bags for our gear. Hit us up, you know we've got the best Las Vegas video production rental gear.
Ronin 2 Available for Rental #lasvegasvideoproduction #ronin2 #ronin2rental
It's finally happened! No, I haven't been accepted into Clown College... yet. We received our DJI Ronin 2! This thing is super neat, let me tell you something, it's like, having your cake and eating it too. Delicious and fattening. This thing is a game changer, it's smarter and more efficient than the original, and it looks cool to boot. We even have the Ready Rig GS stabilizer and ProArm kit! If you can't pull some shawty's number wearing the Ready Rig, there's no helping you. The Ronin 2 combines the same precision as the Ronin 1, but adds more security and reliability with maintaining balance, a more powerful motor to allow you to push your shot further and faster than ever before. Basically, they took the Ronin, burned the original designs, and created something that is so much more exceptional. This can all be yours, and turn your Las Vegas video production to the next level.

Best LED panel for your shoot! #Dracast #LED #videoproduction
Now, I'm not all facts and figures and knowledge, but what I do know is that I love a light! And I don't just love this light because I see the light, I love the light because I saw the light and now have the best light.... What the hell am I talking about? I don't know. But I do know this: our Dracast 1K bi-color LED will have you dumping your old LED for this funnier, sexier, more fit LED. It's slim, it's bright, and it'll pump out beautiful 1K tungsten, daylight, or in-between all day on a single V-Mount battery. We took it down to "The Wine Cellar" at the Rio here in Vegas, and after we got sauced, we took it elsewhere and coupled it with our Canon C300 Mark II, and made beautiful motion imagery that was as dazzling as your next project will be when you rent our Dracast 1K bi-color LED, and any one of our amazing camera-things. F11 Rentals is working hard to become the best video production rental gear company in Las Vegas- and we want you to come see why.
Decimate Your Problems #lasvegasvideorentalgear #decimator #videoproduction
When you're getting mixed signals (we've all been there), it's confusing; you're sitting there going, "Wait. What? Who?" There's someone special out there for everyone- but sometimes, it's not the someone you thought or hoped for. What do you do in this situation? Settle for the hand you were dealt!? Absolutely not!!
Now, we have the power and technology to take that "less-than-desirable" situation, take that "mixed signal", and turn it into what you want it to be. Introducing the DECIMATOR MD-HX MINI!!! No more awkward HDMI when you wanted SDI, or vice-versa. There's a built-in scaler, and if you're thinking "I'm more of a 23.98 guy/gal, not 29.97" well, you can change that too! To top it all off, it's compact and portable; it's the best thing since sliced bread! There is so much to say and type, I'm just going to send you to the page, here!

Our lenses stand apart #schneidercineprimes #lasvegasvideoproduction #lasvegasrentalgear
We don't want to brag.... just kidding, yes we do. There's nothing better than having better equipment, prices, and rippling hamstrings than the other guy, and letting everyone know it. We here at F11 Rentals aren't afraid of a displaying a little confidence every once and a while (not like that scaredy-cat over at FiveSix Production's blog). So, when we saw our beloved Schneider Cinema Primes out on the tennis courts in sunny Las Vegas, we couldn't help but want to shout it from the rooftops. The incomparable Clayton Moore, of CMDP was nice enough to show off this setup with the gorgeous 50mm lens. I'll let you compose yourself, as I'm sure you're just as giddy as we are, and when you've settled down enough, give us a shout, and we'll get you hooked up with one or all of the Schneider's. We can't wait to hear from you and help you see just why we're the best Las Vegas video production rental house.
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!
