Get expert insights on the life of camera gear and the latest technologies from AbelCine President and CEO, Pete Abel. While some claim that camera bodies only last two years, Abel argues that a camera’s viability is often longer than people think. As camera technology progresses, it’s important to determine if your current camera’s features and performance meet your project’s aesthetic needs. AbelCine, one of the largest camera resellers and rental houses, can get you any type of gear you need for your film, television show, or commercial. When it comes to gear longevity, analog gear like tripods and matte boxes tend to last longer than electronic accessories. Lenses and their accessories are also a good investment, but it’s important to choose a mount system that’s as universal as possible. AbelCine is always investigating new technology and educating their customers on the strengths and weaknesses of emerging tech. While specifications matter for some projects, it’s important to never let them overshadow your creative intent. AbelCine’s new site is a virtual extension of their uncompromising sales and rental experience, offering a curated selection of professional filmmaking tools at a range of price points.
