Portsmouth Film Equipment Rental has been a staple of the New Zealand film industry for more than 20 years. The rental company caters to both large international productions and smaller local shoots with up-and-coming filmmakers.

Based in Wellington, Portsmouth can provide service anywhere in New Zealand and further afield in the Pacific. With a comprehensive range of rental equipment, it has any lighting, grip, or camera request that a production might need.

State-of-the-art inventory is available such as the Arri Alexa 35 and RED 8K cameras. A wide range of lenses enables productions to frame their vision at the highest level. The latest Hi5 remote focus units and OLED monitors give that extra level of control. A range of Creamsource Vortex, Arri, Astera, Aputure, and Nanlux lighting sources means you can shed light on your scenes, your way.

There are a variety of shooting cranes, dollies, power distribution, and unit gear, as well as a wide range of consumables available to buy.

Portsmouth has a committed and enthusiastic team that can provide an individualised experience to productions big and small. With 20 years of experience in the industry, the team have valuable connections — if they don’t have what you need, they know where to get it.
