Equipment Planning Services

Here is how this works in practice. We plan and set up the technical gear package a production needs to shoot efficiently in Serbia. Our team works from the script and schedule to build camera, lens, grip, lighting and support packages, sourcing from Belgrade's rental houses and matching kit to the realities of each location, from controlled stage work at PFI Studios near Simanovci to exterior units in the city and remote setups in the mountains or the Djerdap gorge.

Here is the short of it. We plan power for Serbia's 230V 50Hz mains, factor in transport and unit moves across the country's road network, and schedule gear so it arrives when each department needs it without idle rental days. When a production imports its own gear, we manage the ATA carnet process. This Serbia accepts for temporary gear import, and set up customs clearance through Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. For expert or high-volume gear that exceeds local stock. We arrange supplementary rentals from the wider region and fold those costs cleanly into the budget. The Film in Serbia rebate records.

Here is the breakdown. Serbia's gear landscape reflects a film-services industry that has grown fast over the past decade. Belgrade's rental houses have grown their inventories steadily as global productions arrived, drawn by the 25 to 30 percent cash rebate, and the current PFI Studios tricky has further anchored the technical infrastructure. For mainstream feature and series work, today's camera kits, grip and lighting packages are ready locally at competitive rates. For very large productions, or those needing rare expert gear.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The country's central position in the Balkans and good road links make it practical to supplement from neighbouring markets. Drone operations are covered by the Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia and radio-frequency gear, including wireless video and comms, falls under RATEL. The national range regulator, both of which we factor into gear planning so the package is compliant as well as capable. Serbia's temperate inland climate, with cold winters and warm summers, shapes protective and support gear choices for seasonal shoots.
