Renting Filming Equipment in Brazil

Facilitating Equipment Access for International Crews
 

At Brazil Base Productions, we specialize in supporting international crews by facilitating access to filming equipment in Brazil. While we are not a rental company, we act as a bridge between your production and local rental houses, ensuring a seamless process. Renting equipment in Brazil often requires a local representative, specific documentation, and an approved registration, which can be challenging for foreign crews. Our team simplifies this process, providing the necessary guidance and support to ensure your production has the equipment it needs.

Navigating Filming Equipment Rentals Across Brazil

São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are known for being the hubs of the Brazilian audiovisual industry. In these cities are located the biggest rental houses with an extensive catalog of cameras, lenses, lighting, power, batteries, and grip equipment to attend to the most film and TV productions demand.  Also, from these two cities, it is easier to organize all logistics and flights to other Brazilian regions. Of course, other Brazilian cities also have rental stores with video and lighting equipment. Each project depending on the region requires different planning to facilitate the equipment transport.

Experts to support you on the renting

 

Renting filming equipment can come with unique challenges, especially when working across different countries. Equipment names, measurements, and technical standards often vary from one place to another, and direct translations can sometimes be misleading. What you call a specific piece of equipment in your country might have a completely different name elsewhere, making it essential to work with professionals who understand these global nuances.
 

Our team specializes in assisting international crews and is familiar with the technical aspects of equipment rental worldwide. Whether you’re looking for a specific item or need help finding suitable alternatives, we’ll guide you through the process, saving you time and money while ensuring your project stays on track.​
