Cinema camera packages prepped through TVM Ireland Dublin, Pyramid Camera Dublin, ARRI Rental Dublin, and Camera Hire Belfast across the Irish rental network
Here is how this works in practice. Camera gear rental in Ireland routes through a Dublin- and Belfast-anchored roster of houses built around the Section 481 32 percent tax credit plus the 40 percent regional uplift for productions filming outside the Dublin and Wicklow studio cluster. TVM Ireland Dublin as the top Irish rental house running prestige series and the long-running Vikings Ashford partner; Pyramid Camera Dublin as the established second-tier house servicing Foundation Apple TV+ and Normal People HBO; Camera Hire Belfast in Northern Ireland as the Game of Thrones partner that ran the Titanic Studios stages through all eight seasons; ARRI Rental Dublin as the dedicated ARRI house carrying Alexa 35 and Mini LF prestige inventory; Filmgear Ireland Dublin as the lighting-and-camera cross-discipline house; and Hammer Hill Studios Belfast as the Northern Irish stage-and-cage operator.
Here is the short of it. Across that network we build the bodies a production actually shoots. ARRI Alexa 35. Alexa Mini LF as the Banshees of Inisherin and Belfast workhorse. Sony Venice 2 as the Foundation and Normal People preference, and RED V-Raptor 8K for top episodic and commercial. Heritage productions including Vikings Ashford six seasons, The Tudors, Penny Dreadful, and The Quiet Girl Oscar-nominated 2022 set the camera package baseline for Irish inventory holdings.
Here is the breakdown. Global productions land cargo at DUB Dublin Airport, ORK Cork, SNN Shannon. BFS Belfast Global, or LDY Derry with Revenue Commissioners ATA carnet records processed through the same coordinator handling the rental booking. Common Travel Area seamless border with the United Kingdom keeps Dublin-to-London transit frictionless. No carnet needed for UK-start gear. And when a specialty body or anamorphic set isn't held in Dublin stock we cross-border to ARRI Rental London or Pinewood London on a same-day air freight or ferry routing.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Every package is prepped at the starting cage with sensor cleaning, lens calibration, firmware logged, batteries conditioned, and media formatted to the DIT's workflow. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing protocols across the Wild Atlantic Way, Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, and Donegal coast include rain covers. Silica desiccant packs, and Peli-case staging. While heritage-zone permits at Skellig Michael UNESCO. Giant's Causeway UNESCO, Newgrange, and Brú na Bóinne dictate silent crew and limited fixture footprint pre-approved with the OPW and National Monuments.
