The big HD lenses fit all Lighthouse cameras including the SR and the Z7!
  Shooting film for HiDef you should use an HD lens.
  The camera/lens combinations come with mattebox, Sachtler Video 25 or Video20 balanced head and legs,  remote record on/off,  raincover, soft/hard carry-cases, rucksack to take camera and lens combined.  Flat-plate mounted it’s ‘out of the case, click onto the tripod and go’, no need to assemble/disassemble the lens each time.

Lighthouse specialises in preparing compact, user-friendly kits for wild locations;  
up the Amazon, in the Arctic, across the Sahara; amongst remote Islands, high in the Andes.  
We have hides and tents, indeed all sorts of equipment that can really help you, and so can we
because we've likely filmed there or somewhere very similar.
But of course the kits are very happy to be used right here and now.

Infra-red night shooting kits
State of the art:  from wide to half a mile or more; 
lights under-slung the camera 
or gyro-stabilized 
with the camera on the car rooftop; 
mains, generator or battery powered 
all lenses including the 40x14 telephoto
(giving 1500mm plus) attach to the IR Camera, all with remote zoom/focus; 
HD monitor, various record options, DV and HDV. 
There are so many options 
its best to  discuss project and costs

Gyro-stabilised Tripod Head
This unique, robust tripod head
developed by Lighthouse
drops into a 6inch tripod bowl
powered by the camera batteries
on a boat it will steady the sea
on a car level the horizon
combine it with the image stabiliser
and the whole world stands still.  
It's favorite that the head is used 
with other Lighthouse kit, 
but let's discuss.
