Steadicam & Gimbal Services

Here is how this works in practice. Stabilised camera operation in Peru sits at a smaller scale than Brazil, Mexico, or Argentina, and our roster reflects that reality with honesty — a tight bench of Lima-based Steadicam owner-operators carrying classic Tiffen and Glidecam sleds graduated up to ARRI Trinity hybrid rigs, alongside a deeper community of DJI Ronin 2, Freefly MoVI Pro, and DJI RS 4 Pro gimbal ops trained on commercial, music-video, and documentary sets out of Tondero, Cinesphere, and Audiovisual Project Perú.

Here is the short of it. For prestige feature work and tricky long-take sequences, we routinely import certified Brazilian, Chilean, or Argentine Steadicam operators with today's Peruvian work permits and SUNAT ATA carnet support for their rigs — the same path Claudia Llosa, Salvador del Solar, and visiting global productions have taken on major Peruvian shoots. Camera packages route through RentCam Perú and Filmotechnik with ARRI Alexa 35 and Mini LF, RED V-Raptor, and Sony Venice 2 bodies prepped and balanced before call.

Here is the breakdown. Productions briefing a one-take walk through Barranco's Bajada de Baños, a Plaza de Armas reveal in Cusco's colonial centre, a Sacred Valley terrace traverse at Pisac or Ollantaytambo, a Lima Miraflores cliffside follow, a Mercado de Surquillo run-and-gun, or a Sechura desert vehicle-to-ground transfer receive operator recommendations tied to camera weight, lens choice, vest type, altitude tolerance, and shot length rather than a generic quote.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our coordinators arrange rehearsal blocks for choreographed sequences, plan vehicle-to-ground transfers on Pan-American Highway tracking work, manage altitude acclimatisation for Cusco-based shoots needing 24-48 hours at elevation before heavy rigging, and combine Steadicam with crane, jib, cable cam, or vehicle process work when the brief demands it. Insurance is structured to Peruvian production standards. Contracts handle IGV 18% with DAFO accreditation where the project qualifies.
