We have resisted the urge to upgrade our bodies through a number of releases from both Sony and Canon but when the FX3 was released we couldn’t say no any longer. With the autofocus performance of the A7 III and the low light capabilities of the A7S II as well as the new ability to shoot 120FPS in UltraHD 4k, this is it for us now. Looking forward to adding this into our workflow from late 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1570746935255-LE1557AM9GWZVRTPPPIU/IMG_0039.acr.jpeg gear - Sony A7 III One of the best, all around cameras on the market today! The newest edition to our little family of camera bodies, this one has totally blown us away! It has the autofocus of a Canon with the video options and low-light capability of Sony. THIS is now our main workhorse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1526523967375-EXKJ0UT21PKNIUZ6F4BT/image-asset.png gear - Sony A7S II The low light monster! This is still one of our favourite cameras for shoots these days. With features like 4k, 120FPS, In-Body image stabilization, and of course it's unrivaled low-light performance, this will be in our bag for a very, very long time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1526524406029-GI5DKIULX3TUZLQLYPV0/Canon5DIV_hero3_4000-1440x950.jpg gear - Canon 5D Mark IV The autofocus king! We haven't fully made the switch to Sony and Canon's dual-pixel autofocus is one of the big reasons. This is also why we use the Mark IV over the Mark III. Shoots 4k at 30FPS and HD at 60FPS. A simply beautiful image which still blows me away and pretty good in low light as well thanks to its full frame sensor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598848689557-XHGP4A3IY4YE69Z6I8QG/MAV2P-REF.jpg gear - DJI Mavic 2 Pro Take your video vertical! Where possible, the Mavic 2 Pro is our drone of choice. It's 4k sensor and 3-axis gimbal makes for some simply stunning cinematic video where a normal camera just can't go. The new one inch image sensor on the Mavic 2 Pro was a huge upgrade over the original Mavic which means our footage looks simply out of this world. This drone is so easy to fly and is so compact and quiet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1532662624068-9RQNTE573OYXIMTQNNSR/image-asset.jpeg gear - Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Sony E-mount lens This is the lens we use on the Sony A7 III body. It has a super close focal range meaning it almost behaves like a macro. When you combine that with it's superb f2.8 aperture and flexible focal range, this is quickly becoming one of our favourite lenses. Add to that the ability on the Sony A7S to shoot in full frame, APS-C as well as its clear image zoom, this lens is effectively a 28-150mm at f2.8! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/80e2e7c4-f67a-4b68-a760-bfbf3757c980/1012600__ScaleHeightWzgzNl0.jpg gear - Sony G Master 70-200mm f/2.8 With the majority of our cameras now being Sony, we had to take the plunge and get as much Sony glass as we could to take full advantage of all the autofocus features that come with Sony native lenses. This is an absolute beast of a lens. Loving the options this now provides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598849565618-YH65K7G8G4RJTDEQ1HF5/sony_sel85f18_fe_85mm_f_1_8_lens_1486462887_1317562.jpg gear - Sony FE 85mm F/1.8 Here comes the bokeh! One of our newest additions, the 85mm is great for those portrait and the super shallow f/1.8 makes for some great blown out backgrounds. This will be making more and more appearance from out of the gear bag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1532663262524-P836M9DY06IYPLBS0ECC/tamron_afa025n_700_sp_70_200mm_f_2_8_di_1317272.jpg gear - Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 G2 Canon EF Mount Lens We use this lens on either the 5D or the 80d (fantastic on the 80d which works out at 320mm at f2.8!) With image stabilization (which Tamron call VC) and a constant f2.8 aperture, this is superbly sharp, great it low light and visually stunning. Yes, truth be told we only considered it because it is a good $1000 cheaper than the Canon equivalent but having worked with the big grey lens on numerous occasions, this Tamron is no pretender and every bit as good as the Canon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/2db1f678-a695-43da-8320-3d1d5fa10ad3/1628159733_1658158.jpg gear - Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 Tamron is absolutely crushing it with their lens options for Sony E mount. This is one of their newest additions and I must admit we had this on preorder the minute it was announced. It’s certainly not a small lens but what with all the options this adds to your range, the weight is a small price to pay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598848986786-AOU22KL9UEJQSHCLTSXS/Canon_70-200mm_f_2.8L_IS_II.jpg gear - Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS II While we still love and use the Tamron version, the Canon glass is just so good. It’s so sharp that it makes us excited to watch back. We also use this lens on either the 5D or the 80d. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1533517712653-533DNHCWXALMLYF120E6/images.jpg gear - Manfrotto Video Heads We use Manfrotto video heads on all our tripods and monopods. The bigger MVH502AH (pictured) heads are on our tripods while the monopods use a combination of the smaller MVH500AH and 700HD series heads. They're all fluid heads meaning pans and tilts are super smooth. We highly recommend these heads for your tripods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1613343142528-IIB13MD4C68H18COZWCI/RS2.jpg gear - DJI Ronin RS2 We’ve recently switched from the Ronin S to the RS2 essentially because it is smaller and lighter. These days our gimbal is loaded with things like the Ninja V recorder and has also been rigged up with a wireless transmitter when we do multicam livestreams. All these add ons made our gimbal one beefy boy. The carbon fibre in the RS2 makes this one almost half the weight of the original Ronin S and my arms are thanking me for making the switch. We keep a camera on or nearby this thing most of the day for any moving shots. This thing is awesome and lasts all day on a single set of batteries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1540520470934-UTR4BA7HET3EKT00CHMV/Capture.JPG gear - Syrp Magic Carpet Slider and Genie Motion Controller Made right here in NZ, the Syrp products are fantastic. We use the magic carpet slider and pair it with their Genie for motorized motion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1613344127617-QIO2FKIKY7I0KMU85DYC/Atomos-NinjaV-Grabador-Monitor-10-Avacab.jpg gear - Atomos Ninja V The Atomos Ninja is not only a really great external monitor used on our gimbal, it is also a recorder allowing us to record up to 10 bit 4k @ 60FPS. This is really important when we record in 4k as Sony disables some of the camera features when in 4k. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598849811193-YQSPJPMT4YZNE2440U6S/AUDTSC1020__1.jpg gear - Tascam DR-10L Audio Recorders These are our go-to audio recording devices for weddings in particular. They are wired which means there is no chance of them interfering with any wireless gear on site but does mean you can’t monitor the audio. We’ve never found that to be a drawback as once a wedding ceremony is underway for example, you can’t simply interrupt it to fix your mic! These run of a single AAA battery and will last hours. They record to high quality 48k 24 bit wav files and also dual record two separate tracks; a standard volume and a lower volume to save you from any unexpected peaks. They come with their own Tascam lav mic but we replace this with a Sennheiser equivalent for even better audio. Absolutely love these. We have two of them and run them both at every wedding or event we do! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598850408138-IPPICG3RVHMM8C9Z1HQE/AUDROD1000__1.jpg gear - Rode Wireless Go Generally speaking, we don’t use wireless gear for weddings. There’s just too much that can go wrong and no way to fix it when it does. However there are times where we simply need to get the audio back to use in real time; live streaming is just one great example. The Rode unit is an inexpensive option which uses the 2.4GHz digital range meaning less chance for interference unlike the UHF frequencies which are often crowded. We run one or two of these alongside our Tascam recorders as a backup option also. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1617768966521-78RCDXYUARNEGDCKJG54/1552308652_1385591.jpg gear - Sennheiser G4 Wireless The audio of your wedding day is so incredibly important to us and for this reason we try to use our own mics where we can. Adding this wireless kit means we can give you a wireless mic that won’t cut out. All you need is a speaker. We pair this with a line splitter and our recorder meaning we get consistent audio recordings and you get great live audio too. We can run any wired handhel mic into this thing like a Shure SM58 or a Rode M1 dynamic vocal mic or our personal favourite, the Shure SM63 reporter mic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598850808857-H5FOIER5HI6JR7F61PUF/rode-videomic-pro-plus-1.jpg gear - Rode Videomic Pro Plus We keep one of these on top of our camera, mostly it captures really clean scratch audio. But it’s great for vlogging and can be used when all else fails. A really clean mic if you can get close to it as in a vlogging situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1617659432165-GGT79IWPWI17ADVOR4W6/186424.jpg gear - Aputure LS 120d LED Light We use Aputure lights for everything that needs lights. The 120d has been in our kit bag since day one and while there are newer versions available now with more power, we’ve not found it necessary to upgrade. We rarely run this thing at 100% power. We mount Aputure’s new Fresnel adaptor on the front as well as some CTB gel meaning we can use match the lighting colour in the room no matter what. This light comes out for reception time to light the speech givers. Receptions are often very dimly lit so some external lighting is essential. We are also experienced enough to know when we’ve changed the mood in the room too much so rest assured this light illuminates just enough that we can see the subject and nothing more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1617659627055-0UK1U7S1OTGEGTBKNOPD/129149.jpg gear - Aputure AL-F7 This little beast is a monster of a light in a tiny panel. Takes USB-C power too so we often use this as a hair lights for reception speeches. So good we have several of them. These also work off a Sony NPF battery so we use these for shooting details or just whenever we need a quick and simple light source. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/5fa995cd-424a-485d-b35d-87dbc01fdcea/view.jfif gear - Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro The ATEM Mini Pro is at the heart of our live streaming rig. It can take in 4 HDMI inputs (whether they be cameras or laptops) as well as 2 separate audio tracks (or 6 in total if you count the 4 from the HDMI inputs). What sets the Pro apart is its multiview output screen showing you all 4 video inputs, audio inputs, and your program out on one single screen. This model also has the built in encoder so it can stream direct to your required destination without having to use software on a laptop like OBS Studio for example. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/ec23e9a7-ea0e-4cc7-97a9-40cca0655ea2/216108.jpg gear - Teradek Vidiu X Live streaming adds a whole new dimension to filming. Most importantly though, it’s live! That means there’s no room for dropouts signal loss. And while most venues will claim to have WIFI connections available, they are often not very good and almost always out of usable range. To get around this, we rely entirely on mobile data connections (4g, 5g). The Vidiu X allows us to do something called Cellular Network Bonding where we can link connections from all 3 major providers in NZ; Spark, Vodafone and 2Degrees, into a single super strong, redundant connection to the internet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1622698387815-EJSMT2S8W3B62F4RT0YX/1017072.v3RJn3E17hGpnAAZURcJfHw.jpg gear - Sony FX3 This.changes.everything.

Yes, truth be told we only considered it because it is a good $1000 cheaper than the Canon equivalent but having worked with the big grey lens on numerous occasions, this Tamron is no pretender and every bit as good as the Canon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/2db1f678-a695-43da-8320-3d1d5fa10ad3/1628159733_1658158.jpg gear - Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 Tamron is absolutely crushing it with their lens options for Sony E mount. This is one of their newest additions and I must admit we had this on preorder the minute it was announced. It’s certainly not a small lens but what with all the options this adds to your range, the weight is a small price to pay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598848986786-AOU22KL9UEJQSHCLTSXS/Canon_70-200mm_f_2.8L_IS_II.jpg gear - Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS II While we still love and use the Tamron version, the Canon glass is just so good. It’s so sharp that it makes us excited to watch back. We also use this lens on either the 5D or the 80d. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1533517712653-533DNHCWXALMLYF120E6/images.jpg gear - Manfrotto Video Heads We use Manfrotto video heads on all our tripods and monopods. The bigger MVH502AH (pictured) heads are on our tripods while the monopods use a combination of the smaller MVH500AH and 700HD series heads. They're all fluid heads meaning pans and tilts are super smooth. We highly recommend these heads for your tripods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1613343142528-IIB13MD4C68H18COZWCI/RS2.jpg gear - DJI Ronin RS2 We’ve recently switched from the Ronin S to the RS2 essentially because it is smaller and lighter. These days our gimbal is loaded with things like the Ninja V recorder and has also been rigged up with a wireless transmitter when we do multicam livestreams. All these add ons made our gimbal one beefy boy. The carbon fibre in the RS2 makes this one almost half the weight of the original Ronin S and my arms are thanking me for making the switch. We keep a camera on or nearby this thing most of the day for any moving shots. This thing is awesome and lasts all day on a single set of batteries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1540520470934-UTR4BA7HET3EKT00CHMV/Capture.JPG gear - Syrp Magic Carpet Slider and Genie Motion Controller Made right here in NZ, the Syrp products are fantastic. We use the magic carpet slider and pair it with their Genie for motorized motion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1613344127617-QIO2FKIKY7I0KMU85DYC/Atomos-NinjaV-Grabador-Monitor-10-Avacab.jpg gear - Atomos Ninja V The Atomos Ninja is not only a really great external monitor used on our gimbal, it is also a recorder allowing us to record up to 10 bit 4k @ 60FPS. This is really important when we record in 4k as Sony disables some of the camera features when in 4k. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598849811193-YQSPJPMT4YZNE2440U6S/AUDTSC1020__1.jpg gear - Tascam DR-10L Audio Recorders These are our go-to audio recording devices for weddings in particular. They are wired which means there is no chance of them interfering with any wireless gear on site but does mean you can’t monitor the audio. We’ve never found that to be a drawback as once a wedding ceremony is underway for example, you can’t simply interrupt it to fix your mic! These run of a single AAA battery and will last hours. They record to high quality 48k 24 bit wav files and also dual record two separate tracks; a standard volume and a lower volume to save you from any unexpected peaks. They come with their own Tascam lav mic but we replace this with a Sennheiser equivalent for even better audio. Absolutely love these. We have two of them and run them both at every wedding or event we do! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/92ef0082-8311-46a5-bd24-4edb685a011f/zoom-f3-2-input-2-track-portable-field-recorder.jpg.webp gear - Zoom F3 This is our current field recorder. It’s a compact, two-channel field recorder known for its groundbreaking 32-bit float recording technology that virtually eliminates audio clipping and the need for gain adjustment during recording. We use this wherever we can plug into a sound board or out of a mic receiver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598850408138-IPPICG3RVHMM8C9Z1HQE/AUDROD1000__1.jpg gear - Rode Wireless Go Generally speaking, we don’t use wireless gear for weddings. There’s just too much that can go wrong and no way to fix it when it does. However there are times where we simply need to get the audio back to use in real time; live streaming is just one great example. The Rode unit is an inexpensive option which uses the 2.4GHz digital range meaning less chance for interference unlike the UHF frequencies which are often crowded. We run one or two of these alongside our Tascam recorders as a backup option also. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1617768966521-78RCDXYUARNEGDCKJG54/1552308652_1385591.jpg gear - Sennheiser G4 Wireless The audio of your wedding day is so incredibly important to us and for this reason we try to use our own mics where we can. Adding this wireless kit means we can give you a wireless mic that won’t cut out. All you need is a speaker. We pair this with a line splitter and our recorder meaning we get consistent audio recordings and you get great live audio too. We can run any wired handhel mic into this thing like a Shure SM58 or a Rode M1 dynamic vocal mic or our personal favourite, the Shure SM63 reporter mic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1598850808857-H5FOIER5HI6JR7F61PUF/rode-videomic-pro-plus-1.jpg gear - Rode Videomic Pro Plus We keep one of these on top of our camera, mostly it captures really clean scratch audio. But it’s great for vlogging and can be used when all else fails. A really clean mic if you can get close to it as in a vlogging situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1617659432165-GGT79IWPWI17ADVOR4W6/186424.jpg gear - Aputure LS 120d LED Light We use Aputure lights for everything that needs lights. The 120d has been in our kit bag since day one and while there are newer versions available now with more power, we’ve not found it necessary to upgrade. We rarely run this thing at 100% power. We mount Aputure’s new Fresnel adaptor on the front as well as some CTB gel meaning we can use match the lighting colour in the room no matter what. This light comes out for reception time to light the speech givers. Receptions are often very dimly lit so some external lighting is essential. We are also experienced enough to know when we’ve changed the mood in the room too much so rest assured this light illuminates just enough that we can see the subject and nothing more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1617659627055-0UK1U7S1OTGEGTBKNOPD/129149.jpg gear - Aputure AL-F7 This little beast is a monster of a light in a tiny panel. Takes USB-C power too so we often use this as a hair lights for reception speeches. So good we have several of them. These also work off a Sony NPF battery so we use these for shooting details or just whenever we need a quick and simple light source. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/5fa995cd-424a-485d-b35d-87dbc01fdcea/view.jfif gear - Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro The ATEM Mini Pro is at the heart of our live streaming rig. It can take in 4 HDMI inputs (whether they be cameras or laptops) as well as 2 separate audio tracks (or 6 in total if you count the 4 from the HDMI inputs). What sets the Pro apart is its multiview output screen showing you all 4 video inputs, audio inputs, and your program out on one single screen. This model also has the built in encoder so it can stream direct to your required destination without having to use software on a laptop like OBS Studio for example. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/ec23e9a7-ea0e-4cc7-97a9-40cca0655ea2/216108.jpg gear - Teradek Vidiu X Live streaming adds a whole new dimension to filming. Most importantly though, it’s live! That means there’s no room for dropouts signal loss. And while most venues will claim to have WIFI connections available, they are often not very good and almost always out of usable range. To get around this, we rely entirely on mobile data connections (4g, 5g). The Vidiu X allows us to do something called Cellular Network Bonding where we can link connections from all 3 major providers in NZ; Spark, Vodafone and 2Degrees, into a single super strong, redundant connection to the internet. https://www.mattrandallproductions.com/wedding-films daily 0.75 2025-11-14 https://www.mattrandallproductions.com/our-team daily 0.75 2020-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1558387459810-3RLLN7T3IPZTHE1H37S2/Bayu%2B%252B%2BLiz-2368.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1558387282381-I5MJM61XHZCNK4SDTRME/Chandra%252Bv%252B2-.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1558387459810-3RLLN7T3IPZTHE1H37S2/Bayu%2B%252B%2BLiz-2368.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1558387282381-I5MJM61XHZCNK4SDTRME/Chandra%252Bv%252B2-.jpg Our Team https://www.mattrandallproductions.com/sports daily 0.75 2024-10-14 https://www.mattrandallproductions.com/live-stream daily 0.75 2024-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1615784503438-G7KMVKRWOSYU40LEZRO3/maclivewedding.png Live Stream - Getting Married? During the height of the pandemic, travel restrictions really put an end to many weddings. Now that that is largely over, many people are still finding that offering a live stream service for overseas guests is a great idea. We can live stream your wedding ceremony in full HD to YouTube or Facebook so overseas family and friends can watch in real time live as it happens. Even if you weren’t planning on having a videographer for your day, we can live stream the formalities so you can share the big day with friends and family overseas. Our live stream solutions use high quality DSLR or mirrorless camera meaning our livestreams can look as our highly polished edited films. We incorporate movement, multiple camera angles, cinematography and redundant and bonded** network connectivity meaning even in the most remote of places, we should be able to get your stream out to the internet. And we are now fully battery operated which means we can run your stream from the remotest of locations. *** But the best thing about using us for your live stream is the audio. No more cellphone stuck in the middle of the room trying to pickup what’s going on around. We have discreet wireless audio options so those online can hear clearly what is happening. With pricing starting a $1499 for two camera coverage of your wedding ceremony, our options are also affordable. Click below and get in touch to find out more. **We make use of up to 3 separate cellular data connections with different providers meaning that the stream’s connection to the internet is backed up and strengthened by cloud based services. What this means in simple terms is the stream won’t crash if the connection drops. It also means if the single is weak with one provider, we have 2 others and if all 3 are weak, we can bond them together to make 1 single, strong connection. ***Live streaming services rely entirely on mobile data. While coverage is getting better and better in many places, it does not always work so please confirm with us before locking anything in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b5fe126a496308370c9468/1600403653034-HY4MRYNQMWNZND1OG6LQ/IMG_20170505_155345-1.jpg Live Stream - Need to live stream your event?
