F11 Gear Goes to Court. #Uhoh #ImInnocentITellYa

Recently, F11 Rentals sent a production rental package to court. No, we haven't been on a crime spree... recently... this was part of a campaign commercial shoot that we helped out with over the weekend. We sent our standard Arri Lighting package, our Divas (the lights, not the guys in FiveSix Productions editing department), a couple of our nifty LED light panels, and our fan-favorite Dana Dolly. Yes, we had a great time, especially during the recess (who doesn't love recess!?), and can't wait to go back... hopefully for work, not real judgment. Until next time, this blog is adjourned.


Small HD 1703

Small HD = Big Benefits #smallhd #lasvegasvideoproductionrentals

Adding a Small HD monitor to your shoot could equal big benefits in the long run. Utilizing our Sony PMW 300s or Panasonic HPX 500s is a great choice for most types of shoots, they produce a great picture, are versatile, and have the capability of shooting HQ, broadcast-quality images. Where the Small HD monitors come in to play is in the cameras' monitors. The built-in monitors on the aforementioned cameras will certainly do the job, but in order to really give the shooter a high quality, workable viewing image that can turn your shot from good to great, and assure you have exactly what you want, adding the Small HD is the answer. So, for your next Las Vegas video production rental, ask about our Small HD monitors, and let us show you what they can do for you.


Colin Rich: Timelapse Extraordinaire #kessler #cinematography #timelapse

If you have a couple minutes to see some amazing cinematography by a gentleman named Colin Rich, you should read this interesting article by Kessler. Rich, who is an L.A.-based (and L.A. native) cinematographer currently working on such shows as Fear the Walking Dead, and the television series Face Off, among other cool projects, has developed a very sought-after skill shooting time lapse videos using Kessler products. So, pop on over to this article, and then come on back here and book our Kessler Cineslider.


red epic close up

RED Epic Dragon- Truly an epic camera. @RED_Cinema #REDEpicDragon #lasvegasvideoproduction

The RED Epic Dragon is F11 Rentals' most powerful and capable camera offering. With the update of the sensor, this camera really delivers on an incredible level. One of the most notable features of the new sensor is its ability to provide amazing detail and incredible native exposure that eclipse 35mm film in both latitude and image density. The almost unthinkable 16.5+ stops of dynamic range allows your DP to really spread their wings and create visually stunning scenes; even at ISO 2000, the image is clean enough for cinematic or publication presentation. The Epic Dragon is fast! The new sensor enables Full Frame 6K at 75fps, 6K 2:4:1 at 100fps, and below 6K, all the way up to 300fps (300fps is at 2K). This camera isn't just for motion pictures; at 6K Full Frame, you're getting a 19.4 Megapixel image- so, you can take your individual frames, and make amazing stills, or shoot specifically for the single, still image. Beyond these facts and figures, there is a plethora of other upgraded aspects such as improved color, capability of 3D (with appropriate hardware), and more. So, all that said, if you want the best of the best, rent our RED Epic Dragon today, you will not be disappointed.


HPX500 and black magic

Mixing a little old, with a little new. #blackmagic #hpx500

Here at F11 Rentals, we do the best we can to stay up to date, and keep the newest, freshest gear in stock, ready for your rental needs. When we buy gear, we maintain and upkeep it the best we can, to allow it to last as long as possible. Some of our cameras work just as they did in their prime, but may now be considered old (the technology world moves fast!), but that doesn't stop us from sending them out on jobs. With our vast array of gear and accessories, we can make the perfect rental package for you and your production, despite the age of the gear going out. Take for instance the brand new Blackmagic Video Assist that went out with our Panasonic HPX 500 today- and harmoniously delivered a wonderful product.


Paris casino production

F11 Gear Overcomes the Elements #lasvegasvideoproduction #budweiserbeerpark

F11 Rentals recently sent a small grip package and in-house P.A. to the Budweiser Beer Park at the Paris Resort here in Las Vegas. Here at F11, we pride ourselves in carrying a full array of well-kept, and relevant production gear, to serve the varying needs of the Las Vegas production rental gear scene. In order to accomplish that goal, we constantly clean and make repairs to our gear, to keep them working as well as the day we got them. Occasionally, we'll even send in-house crew out on shoots to help with the gear (only when requested, or course- no party crashers here), where we can make sure the gear is working perfectly for all our clients.

On the Beer Park shoot, high winds and lingering shadows gave way to clever grip work, fortunately, the crew from Northern California was able to pull it off. We are always happy to send out our experienced crew members on any shoot where our gear is rented on, and our parent company FiveSix Productions is happy to help with all your Las Vegas video production needs.


concert production

F11 Gear Goes to a Concert #tmobilearena #gunsnroses

Recently, F11 Rentals sent gear out to see a concert. Technically, the gear was there to work, but, that didn't stop it from head banging and having a bully time! F11 Rentals sent out a Canon C300 and some of our best audio gear, and it did it's magic at the recent Guns N' Roses show here in Vegas! Despite wind, rain, and the loud sounds of the brand new, T-Mobile Arena, our gear did what it was supposed to, and delivered on our commitment to provide the best video production rental gear in Las Vegas. If you have a project with some unique audio and visual challenges, give us a ring, and we'll get you set up with everything you need... On second thought, our ears are still ringing from that encore of "Paradise City", send us an email too.

By simply renting a green screen and video lighting package, along with a few other small items like a camera and audio, you can have your best girl exploring the Amazon, or grandma spending a day on the Great Wall.

golf course production

Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. #LasVegasProductionGear #Filmingonagolfcourse

F11 Rentals' Las Vegas production rental gear loves it's life in the sunshine and warmth of Las Vegas, especially when it actually gets to get outside. Recently, a Canon C300 Mark I and Sound Devices 633 made their way out to Southern Highlands Golf and Country Club to spend a day on the links. From tee box to green, fairway to water hazard, our rental gear drove, putted, chipped, and stroked it's way to victory. With F11's durable and tested gear, you too can have a great day on any course with any client, even the Dalai Lama, himself. (Just remember, do a good job, and you too may receive total consciousness at your end- which is nice.) I'll leave you with some inspirational words from the great leader, Ty Webb: "Don't be obsessed with your desires. The Zen philosopher, Basho, once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.' He was a funny guy."


black magic

Black Magic in Action #blackmagic @Blackmagic_News #lasvegasvideogearrental

Our awesome, new Blackmagic Design Video Assists went out on a two-day, four-camera, live streaming shoot at Red Rock Resort in Summerlin. The Video Assists did just as we expected and delivered a superior, external recording option for our HPX 500s and PMW 300s. We have four currently in stock, and may look to get more in the future if we continue to have high-volume demand for them.
