OB Companies

Gravity Media has a long history of working with other broadcast and production companies to support them with their own engagements.

This support ranges from the rental of cameras, lenses, vision switchers, audio consoles, production servers and more, to the commissioning of bespoke mobile units to support outside broadcasts big and small.

We offer the very latest broadcast, live workflow and post-production equipment for hire to these clients, supported by a 24/7 technical backup service. A rolling investment pot of £1 million, and relationships with all the major manufacturers, means we get early access to the latest models and allows us to maintain an inventory that’s as deep as it is broad. All our rental equipment is carefully prepared and tested before every job, and our logistics teams can arrange delivery locally, nationally and internationally within days of order.

When it comes to overseeing the design and build of our clients’ own OB trucks, we can supply any type of vehicle or mobile unit, from rigid and expando trucks, to remote production and ‘at home’ vehicles, to small camera units and pods. For every bespoke truck build, we work with specialist coachbuilders and offer the full spectrum of broadcast systems expertise: planning and project management; engineering, installation and commissioning; and training and aftercare.

High-end OB trucks are true powerhouses in broadcast terms. Featuring hydraulic deployment, integrated RF and IP connectivity, supertrucks can be specified with massive 4K monitor walls, multiple 4K/HD cameras and the latest multiformat AV capabilities. Spacious, comfortable and with zoned air conditioning to complete the package, these vehicles are as good as working in a permanent production facility. For environments not suited to articulated supertrucks, we also build high-spec van-based units fully equipped to transport live HD footage from hard-to-get-to locations. Whatever your production demands, we can deliver.
