Equipment Planning Services

Here is how this works in practice. Gear planning in Hungary anchors on the Budapest rental cluster that supplies the studio films shot at Korda Etyek and Origo. Our coordinators build kit lists against the live inventories at Pannonia Cine Service Budapest, Origo Film Group Gear, Movi Hungary Rental, Cinegrid Studios and Stúdió Etyek Gear. The houses that hold the ARRI Alexa 35, Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2 and RED V-Raptor 8K bodies that Dune Part Two, Witcher S3, Black Widow and Blade Runner 2049 ran through.

Here is the short of it. Lens packages typically anchor on Cooke S7/i, Atlas Orion anamorphics and ARRI Signature Primes. Plus HMI counts scaled to Budapest winter overcast for Berlin/Moscow period stand-in work, tungsten warmth for Belle Époque interiors at the Hungarian State Opera or New York Café, and high-ratio condor packages for the open Hortobágy puszta. We map dollies, technocranes, Russian Arm and Edge Arm rigs. The latter two staged either through Pannonia Cine Service in Budapest or cross-border from Vienna 2.5h away. Against the schedule before locking quotes so producers see real openings.

Here is the breakdown. Global productions add a NAV (Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal) customs layer that our team handles from start to finish via ATA carnet. We set up broker filings at BUD Liszt Ferenc Global, schedule gear releases against the shoot calendar. Plus stage redundant kit at Origo's bond store for replacement runs during principal photography. Important because Hungary's 27% ÁFA (VAT) is the highest in the EU and miscoded inventory gets expensive fast. Drone packages are booked with NMHH-licensed pilots holding HungaroControl airspace clearances.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. DJI Inspire 3, Inspire 2 X7 and Mavic 3 Cine bodies through Pannonia Cine Service and the Magyar Drone Pilots Association. And restricted-zone Special Flight Operations Certificates pre-filed for Buda Castle, Parliament and the federal corridor along the Danube. Cold-weather kit. Heated battery sleeves, Arctic-rated lubricants, condensation protocols. Is built into every Dec–Feb package because -10°C mornings on the Chain Bridge or out on Lake Balaton ice will brick an un-prepped Venice 2 in twenty minutes. A Quebec-equivalent winter spec keeps the shooting day on schedule.
