Reading & Slough Film Equipment and VFX Array Hire

VFX Array Rig Hire on the M4 Corridor

We serve Reading, Slough, Maidenhead, Windsor, Wokingham and the surrounding towns along the M4 corridor, covering the RG, SL and parts of the TW postcode areas. Our inventory includes cinema cameras, lens packages, wireless video systems, VFX kit and grip equipment for productions of all scales working across Berkshire and West London.

This is the densest concentration of studio infrastructure in the country. Pinewood Studios at Iver Heath sits at the centre of it, with Shepperton a short run down the M25 and Bray near Windsor. Black Park and Burnham Beeches have doubled for forests and period exteriors for decades, and Windsor Great Park, Cliveden, Dorney and Ascot cover heritage, estate and event filming.

The area’s other advantage is Heathrow. Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead are minutes from the airport, which matters when kit is flying out with a unit or arriving from an overseas production. We handle carnet paperwork, secure fully insured shipping and pre-flight testing, and can meet an incoming crew close to the terminal rather than routing everything through central London first.

VFX Array rigs and VFX Ball reference kits suit shoots requiring HDRI lighting capture, clean plate photography and digital environment reference, which makes them particularly useful for virtual production prep and CG-heavy workflows. With stages in the area running LED volume and pre-visualisation work, plate material captured on location can be turned around and reviewed close to the shoot.

Productions based west of London often choose the region for its access to both open countryside and controlled locations. Our RED KOMODO-X VFX Array delivers 15K stitched plates across a 160° field of view with 27.9% overlap, and the 9.2kg drone configuration allows aerial plate capture over the Thames Valley and Chilterns.

We deliver to studios, production offices, unit bases and location sets throughout Berkshire and the M4 corridor.
