cinematography equipment

Cinematography equipment includes the tools filmmakers use to capture images on film or digital media. Key components are cameras, which record visuals; lenses, which control focus and field of view; and lighting setups that illuminate scenes to create mood and visibility. Support gear like tripods, dollies, and steadicams help stabilize or smoothly move the camera. Additional equipment such as filters modify the image, while monitors allow directors and crew to view shots in real-time. Together, these tools enable professionals to craft the visual style and atmosphere of a film effectively.
