About Film Makinesi
Professional camera & film equipment rental in Istanbul since 2008.
We first started operating Film Makinesi in 2008. Our journey, which began by providing technical equipment for television projects, continues today with projects where we play an active role at every stage of production.
In the projects we take part in with our experienced team, our priority is to enjoy the work we do and to know that our services add value to the institutions we work with.

Active in Istanbul production since 2008. First-hand experience on TV series, commercials, and international shoots.
Technical & camera support
Camera assistants and technicians who have handled Sony Venice, RED, Blackmagic, and ARRI ecosystems on real productions.
English-speaking client liaison
Dedicated point of contact for international productions, with experience in ATA carnet, customs, and bilingual contracts.
Why Production Teams Choose Us
Curated, current inventory
We invest in real workhorses — Sony Burano 8K, Venice 2, FX9, RED Komodo, Pocket 6K Pro PL — not legacy gear retired from someone else's shelf.
Tested between every shoot
Cameras and lenses are functionally tested before delivery. You don't lose a shoot day to a body that wasn't checked.
English-speaking, fast quotes
International DPs and producers work with us regularly. We answer in English, send pricing the same day, and accept TRY/USD/EUR.
Central Şişli location
Our office is on Mithat Ulu Ünlü Sokak, Esentepe — minutes from the main production hubs in Istanbul. Same-day delivery within the city is routine.
Production-friendly invoicing
We prepare invoices suitable for production accounting, customs documentation and ATA carnet filings for visiting crews.
Operator & DIT on request
For high-end packages we can introduce trained DPs, DITs and AC's who already know the gear inside out.
Trust & Recognition
Why production accountants, line producers, and DPs come back.
Recurring production clients
Local TV networks, post houses, and production companies have been renting from us for multiple seasons. Repeat business is the only honest reputation metric in this industry.
International productions
We routinely service visiting commercial crews from Europe and the Middle East, with proper documentation for customs and carnet purposes.
Transparent pricing
Daily, 3-day, and weekly rates are documented on every product page. No "call for price" games — you get the number, the package contents, and the discount structure up front.
Operating since 2008
Continuous operation under the same ownership and brand for more than 17 years in Istanbul's film equipment market — through camera generations from F35 through Venice 2.
What Production Teams Say
Same-day quote, gear was tested and ready, returns were painless. We rebook with them for every season.
Bilingual support and proper paperwork for our ATA carnet — we landed and shot the next day without issues.
