Looking to hire a cameraman in London?

Our team provides professional services for corporate events, documentaries, and live broadcasts across the capital.

Hiring a cameraman in London can vary greatly in price depending on experience, equipment, and project type.

The cameraman day rate in London ranges from £450 to £800 per day when working with a professional operator who provides their own high-quality camera, lighting, and sound kit. For higher-end productions such as broadcast television, documentaries, or premium corporate films, London cameraman rates rise to £800–£1,500+ per day, especially when using cinema-grade cameras like the ARRI Amira, Sony Venice, or Canon C300 MkIII. When calculating the cost of a cameraman in London, it is also important to factor in additional services such as sound recordists, lighting assistants, drones, gimbals, or specialist lenses, which can significantly increase the overall budget. Ultimately, the final rate depends on whether you require a simple basic kit for interviews or a full cinema package with crew and specialist gear for complex shoots.

What’s included in your day rate?

We provide end-to-end support: setup, live streaming, basic on-screen graphics, and a clean programme recording. Travel, parking, and VAT are billed separately. Our standard day is up to 10 hours; overtime is charged beyond that.

What does £1,500+ includes for senior broadcast work

You hire a senior TD/vision director or DP with big-show credits. The job needs multi-cam switching, tougher audio, more lighting, detailed graphics, show-calling, comms, redundancy, and higher insurance. The crew grows. The kit grows (extra cameras, lenses, routers, recorders, bonded 4G/5G, intercom). The risk and prep grow. The rate reflects that level.

Do you provide sound and lighting?

Yes. We scale from a basic LED panel to a full lighting package. It means we match the light to your job and venue. For a quick piece-to-camera, we bring one soft bi-color LED panel with diffusion for a clean key. For two speakers or an interview, we add a fill and a back light for depth and separation. For a stage or premium stream, we roll out a full package: multiple soft panels and Fresnels, tubes for accents, softboxes, grids, flags, bounce, dimmers/DMX, stands, and safe power distro. We set color temperature to the room. We cut glare on glasses. We shape shadows. A lighting tech builds the look, rides levels, and keeps it consistent throughout.

Do you bring a dedicated recordist?

A dedicated recordist keeps voices clear. They choose the right mics for each speaker. They place lavs neatly and safely. They set clean gain and ride levels. They kill hum, hiss, wind, and pops. They manage RF and venue noise. They split feeds for stream, room, and cameras. They record ISO tracks for the edit. They watch meters and ears all day. They fix problems before anyone notices. Your audience hears every word and feels respected.

Can you handle permits and drone permissions?
Yes. We arrange locations, drone flight plans, and insurance.

Do you license stock footage for TV and OTT?
Yes. We offer RM and RF options with fast delivery.
