Equipment Planning Services

Here is how this works in practice. Gear planning for Peru is shaped by a rental market concentrated in Lima — with ARRI, RED, and Sony cinema bodies, Cooke and Zeiss glass, and full lighting and grip inventories held by a handful of established houses across Miraflores and San Isidro — and a logistics reality that any gear leaving the capital crosses altitude, humidity, or distance that punishes underprepared kit.

Here is the short of it. Productions shooting Cusco at 3,400m, the Sacred Valley terraces of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, or Lake Titicaca at 3,800m need power budgets, battery counts, and HMI ballast specs recalculated for thin air, while Amazon shoots in Madre de Dios or Manú demand sealed cases, silica protection, and redundant media for ambient humidity that runs above 90 percent. Our coordinators know which Lima rental house holds spare RED bodies on a Friday afternoon. This gaffer trucks are road-rated for the Cordillera Blanca passes, and which the city-based partners can stage a sub-rental locally rather than truck gear up from the coast.

Here is the breakdown. Our planning process starts with a creative and technical breakdown against your shotlist, locations, and schedule, then builds a department-by-department gear list reconciled against openings and IGV-invoiced rate quotes from Peruvian suppliers. Cross-border imports route through SUNAT customs with ATA carnet handling for global gear. We set up domestic transport between Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, and remote Amazon or Andean units with vehicles and drivers who have made the runs before.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Specialty rigs — DJI Inspire and Mavic packages cleared by DGAC drone licensing, gimbals for handheld work in narrow Cusco lanes, underwater housings for Paracas and Ballestas — get sourced through trusted partners with on-call technicians attached. The result is gear that lands where it needs to, calibrated for the altitude or humidity it will work in, with twenty-four-hour replacement response if anything fails mid-shoot.
