Equipment rental
In the event of a technical problem, it is entirely possible to rent quality filming equipment in the country. Although availability is generally low, Fixing Experience will do its utmost to find suitable filming equipment at local rates. We also have a list of our own equipment that we can rent out in the event of a breakdown (drone, stabilizer, tripod, 4k camera, etc.).

Fixing Experience carries out in-depth research before, during and after each report, ensuring that no essential detail is lost along the way. In addition to the fixing service, we also work upstream to ensure that the production has factual sources and to establish the basic facts of your story. Thanks to our extensive network and knowledge of the local media, our local fixers can help foreign journalists quickly check the facts. We help your journalistic team gain a better understanding…
