ARRI Alexa 35, Sony VENICE 2, and RED V-Raptor packages sourced through MBC Studios with cross-border supply via Filmquip Dubai and Picture Works Dubai.
We source Saudi camera packages from the deepest home inventory. MBC Studios runs rental divisions in Riyadh and Jeddah. They stock ARRI Alexa 35, LF, Mini LF, and ALEXA 65 bodies. They stock Sony VENICE 2 and FX9 packages. They carry RED V-Raptor and Komodo kits. They also carry Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro G2 and Canon EOS C500 II / C70 second-unit bodies. We backfill premium and specialty rigs through Filmquip Dubai, Picture Works Dubai, Sigma Cine Dubai, Camera Dubai, and Roundabout Productions. Gear moves on the 12-hour E11 highway corridor or 90-minute Emirates SkyCargo flights from DXB to RUH. Lens packages run deep on both sides of the border. We pull Cooke S7/i and S8/i, Panchro/i Classic, Zeiss Supreme Prime and Master Anamorphic, ARRI Signature Prime, Tribe7 Blackwing7, Atlas Orion anamorphic, Leitz M 0.8 + Thalia, and Angenieux Optimo zooms. These travel between Dubai houses and MBC's Riyadh prep bays inside the same shoot week. NEOM Bajdah Studios, Telfaz11, and Pixomondo Riyadh's LED Volume stage all run their own camera departments. We can pair these with imported packages.
Kandahar, Desert Warrior, Cherry's Apple TV+ AlUla unit, Wadjda, Sattar, Born a King, and the Manga Productions catalog have all leaned on hybrid Saudi-Dubai camera stacks. The heat and haboobs of AlUla, Empty Quarter, and NEOM exteriors demand multi-body backup. Our team handles ATA carnet processing through Saudi Customs (ZATCA. Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority). We clear it at Riyadh King Khalid (RUH), Jeddah King Abdulaziz (JED), or AlUla International (ULH, opened 2022). This keeps zero customs duty on short-term import. We set up AC-trailer prep stations for summer schedules, since 45-50°C June-September highs throttle sensor electronics. We fit sand-protection covers on each body and lens against the haboobs that blanket Empty Quarter sets within minutes. We run humidity routines on the Red Sea coast, where 70-90% humidity fogs lens elements all night. Saudization (Nitaqat) hiring for Saudi-national 1st ACs and DITs qualifies shoots for the 5% rebates uplift on the 40% Saudi Film Commission cash incentive.
