Andrew Pygott the company's managing director and himself a respected lighting and systems designer commented on some of the additions.
"Clay Paky Sharpy's were selected as an addition to our rental stock because of there unrivalled performance over size and weight & although copies of this product have been attempted, the true original Clay Paky version is still the most outstanding small beamlight . We have had a lot of demand for the Sharpy from customers and It has been a unit I myself have specifed in a number of designs, so its a delight to now have these units available in our rental stock and available to our clients for the 2013 season.
"When looking to replace our low smoke effects the Martin Professional Jem Glaciator X-stream was the perfect choice. With previous machines we had struggled with the getting the low lying to actually stay low, but with the Jem Glaciator X-Stream that issue is now a thing of the past, the machine performs wonderfully and is much more easier to set up than our previous machines.
"Due to the popularity of our racked Sennheiser Radio Mic Systems we have increased our stock of these along with adding DPA 4066 Headset Mics for use with them. All our racked systems consist of Sennheiser EW300 G3 Receivers that come prewired with antenna distribution and network switches ready for use. The networking feature allows for remote monitoring of the systems from a laptop, which is a feature we have found greatly appreciated by our regular clients. They can be supplied with handheld or bodypack transmitters and also with a number of microphone options including the new DPA Headsets. Everything is housed neatly into one rack so they are suitable for economic sending via carrier."
Innovation Productions also added high definition video projectors to their rental stock this year, choosing Christie Digital LHD700 Projectors and a selection of lenses. "Christie and Innovation Productions have an excellent long standing relationship and we have always been happy with the products they supply."
Pygott concludes, "Innovation Productions prides itself on providing the high quality industry standard brands that hire and event customers disserve. Having one of the North's largest rental stocks means we are also able provide the backbone, via sub - hire, to a number of companies and give them access to equipment that otherwise would be difficult to source or too expensive to justify purchasing themselves."
