Camera Operator

I am a fully operational DSLR and HDV camera operator with my own equipment and means of transport. My current set up is ideal for lightweight documentary work with an emphasis on being ultra manoeuvrable. However, I can operate most other camera systems and grip equipment, including mini jibs and dollys.

Range of high quality Lenses (Inc: L-series/Ziess)
Indisystem Bulldog rig, mattebox and follow focus
Sony HVR V1E HDV camcorder
