SCENE 01 / CAMERA SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Camera Support Systems
Professional camera support equipment for your Croatian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Camera support systems have tripods, fluid heads, sliders, jibs, dollies, and stabilization rigs that enable smooth, controlled camera movement. The right support gear is key for achieving the visual language a director and cinematographer envision for each scene.
Here is the short of it. We source camera support systems ranging from lightweight travel kits to heavy-duty studio dollies and crane systems. Our team sets up with local grip and camera rental houses to make sure compatible, well-kept support gear arrives on set tested and ready for your specific camera package.

On Location
Camera support systems for Croatian shoots — tripods, heads, dollies, jibs and gimbals — are sourced from the Zagreb-based rental market and matched to locations whose access shapes every movement setup.
Here is how this works in practice. We source camera support — fluid heads, tripods, sliders, dollies, track, jibs and stabilisation rigs. From the set up gear-rental market concentrated in Zagreb, setting up with local grip and camera rental houses so support gear arrives tested and compatible with a production's camera build.
Here is the short of it. Access defines support planning in Croatia: the narrow, stepped streets of Dubrovnik's walled Old City rule out large dolly trucks and shape how track and crane sections are hand-carried to set, while the courtyards of Diocletian's Palace in Split and the islands each set their own constraints on what can in person be rigged. Our team scales packages from lightweight travel kits to heavy studio dollies and remote-head systems. Where a production needs gear beyond the local stock, support gear moves freely by road from rental houses in neighbouring Italy, Slovenia. Austria and Hungary, since Croatia is in the EU single market and the Schengen area with no carnet needed for that EU transport.
Here is the breakdown. Non-EU shoots importing their own support hardware clear ATA Carnets through Croatian customs, mostly via Zagreb Airport, with Split and Dubrovnik airports serving coast-based units. Weather is a planning factor for support work on the Adriatic: the strong bura and jugo winds load up jib arms, cranes and remote heads on exposed shoreline and island setups, so we plan rigging conservatively and specify adequate ballast in wind. Hot, dry coastal summers and salt air near the sea also factor into how heads and dollies are staged and kept between setups.
Our team works with skilled Croatian dolly grips and crane technicians who know these locations. Support gear hire from Croatian vendors counts as qualifying spend under the HAVC 'Filming in Croatia' rebates. A 25 percent cash rebates on eligible Croatian spend.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What tripod heads do you recommend?
Here is the breakdown. For cinema cameras, we recommend O'Connor 2575 or Sachtler Video 25 for their smooth movement and reliability. For lighter setups, the Sachtler FSB series gives great performance. We match head capacity to your camera and lens package.
Can you provide dolly with track?
Yes, we supply complete dolly packages including dolly, track (straight and curved), and all needed accessories. We give many track systems to suit different floor conditions and shot needs.
Do you provide operators with equipment?
Yes, we can give skilled dolly grips, Steadicam operators, and crane technicians with the gear. Having skilled operators makes sure you get the most from specialized support gear.
What about remote heads?
We give remote heads including Scorpio and Mōvi Pro for crane and car work. Remote heads enable precise camera control during complex movements where direct operation isn't possible.
Can you handle heavy camera packages?
Yes, our support systems accommodate cinema cameras from RED and ARRI with full accessories, cine lenses, and wireless follow focus. We make sure proper head and tripod capacity for your complete camera build.
What stabilization options are available?
We give full Steadicam systems for traditional operator work, gimbal systems like Ronin and MōVI for electronic stabilization, and Easyrig support for handheld shooting comfort.
