Video Now owns and maintains all the gear listed above. It is never rented to third parties, is time tracked for preventive maintenance and checked for proper operation before every shoot. Everybody loses with questionable gear and I simply will not have it in my inventory--- that gear is retired or repaired. Reputations, budgets, and projects all ride on the proper functioning of every piece of gear.
