After several months of work and investment, we are pleased to introduce you to our new Moving Image department!

Since 2013 and the introduction of its first two full-format hybrids, Sony has been revolutionising the market by offering serious competition to the SLRs that had previously held the upper hand.

Since establishing our Moving Image department a few years ago, our focus has been on giving our clients a great experience. While this includes attentive customer service and a constantly evolving range of equipment, we also want to ensure you're equipped with the tools you need.

Litepanels’ versatile Gemini panels are now available at Direct Digital! These 1x1 soft panels feature the same characteristics as the larger 2x1 lights (which we also carry!) but with a smaller 5.6kg build. 

Our brand-new supply of Aladdin Bi-Flex M7s has arrived! Coming in a 30x30cm panel (and less than 5cm thick!), Micro LED Technology means the 1x1 panel can now pack in 70W of power instead of the original 50W! 

Slide your way into a great shot! This 48” ultra-high precision slider features ground stainless steel runners and rollers and is the industry standard.

With the weather gods broadly smiling down on us, we held our annual London Summer Social this past week to great success!

This is a great little battery monobloc providing 250W (or 5x power of a speedlight) in a very compact unit. The batteries charge in under 90mins and offer up to 400 full power flashes

The Astera Titan tubes are the newest innovation in wireless LED tube lighting technology.
The new Titan tubes offer over twice the power of the previous AX-1 tubes and have a higher colour correctness expected for high end stills and filming work.

Expertise and passion are a part of our ethos at Direct Digital. We’re here to elevate your shoot through dedicated support by our brilliant team and share our knowledge with our clients.

We introduced the Trichromatic IQ3 100MP Digital Back from Phase One late last year and since have seen the system go from strength to strength, gaining in popularity with those that require the highest standards of colour reproduction.

As well as bolstering our Briese stocks with more Focus Reflectors, HMI kits, and the 5K Tungsten, we have placed stock in our Manchester office. In addition, we have received a few of the new patent Focus.2 reflector range:

We've been looking at this set of lenses for quite some time now, having researched them thoroughly we finally have them here being commissioned ready for rental.

It’s official – we’re fully moved-in to our new home! Unit 1A is now the stylishly convenient location of our Manchester office and, to celebrate, we held an Open Day which gave our clients the opportunity to see our new set-up.
