Why Rent the Sony Burano for your next feature

You rent the Sony Burano for its unique blend of high-end cinema quality (8K, 16 stops Dynamic Range, Venice sensor) in a compact, solo-operator-friendly body, featuring built-in image stabilization (IBIS), fast hybrid autofocus with AI subject recognition, and an electronic variable ND filter, making it superior for flexible, efficient, and cost-effective shoots by combining features of large cinema cameras with documentary-style usability, reducing reliance on gimbals and saving post-production time.

Rent the Burano for productions needing cinema-grade image quality (like commercials, narrative) but requiring the speed, mobility, and ease-of-use of a documentary or corporate camera, especially for single operators or small teams who value features like autofocus and built-in stabilization to get cinematic results faster and more affordably.

When Sony released their recording format X-OCN, it offered uncompromising image capture performance with 16bit power at a low data rate. It processes camera original image data by utilizing a unique algorithm from sony...

Why Rent From US

Why Rent The Burano Local to Knoxville

Local Knoxville Camera Rental: Renting the Sony Burano locally eliminates concern of your camera arriving on-time, ahead of an important production schedule. With our Burano camera rental we offer local pickup or with a 7 day rental we can bring the camera kit to you. Can your production risk a camera lost in shipping from the other guys?

Production-Ready Kits: We not only rent the Burano body; our packages include high-speed CFexpress Type B media, V-Mount power solutions, and the remote grip, so you can start shooting immediately.

Access to Native Glass: Unlocking BURANO’s AI-driven autofocus, you need the right glass. We offer lens rentals on Sony G-Master lenses that integrate perfectly with the camera's subject-recognition tracking. Need cine primes? Ask what's available before renting glass elsewhere.

Expert Workflow Support: We are well-versed in the BURANO’s X-OCN LT and XAVC H recording formats and can provide the technical guidance for your Burano rental to ensure a smooth workflow, in the best format options available.

On-Call Reliability: If you run into a challenge in the field, our team is available for immediate troubleshooting on your Burano rental package. We provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing a technical solution is local, and just a phone call away.

Cinematic Versatility and Low Light Performance

Multiple Image Scan Modes:
Renting BURANO ensures you have both camera and sensor that is flexible while offering a multitude of format options. Burano supports 16:9 and 17:9 readouts in full-frame (8.6K) and Super 3.5 cm (5.8K). Image scan modes include full-frame and Super35 as well as finely optimized down sampled and high-speed modes such as 6K 60p (FF crop), 5.8K 60p (S35), and 4K 120p (S35 crop*) catering to a wide range of production requirements.

Then You Need to Rent the Burano

Renting the Venice?

The Sony Burano is the ideal B-cam to the Sony Venice because it provides an identical cinematic look in a much smaller, more versatile body. If you are already planning to use the Sony Venice on your next production, you need to rent the Sony Burano as your B-Cam. Here's why:

- Seamless Image Match. Both cameras use the same 8.6K sensor, S-Cinetone color science, and 16 stops of dynamic range, ensuring footage cuts together perfectly.

- Workflow Compatibility: Both record in Sony's high-quality X-OCN RAW format.

- Versatile Form Factor: The Burano is lighter, making it perfect for handheld, gimbal, or drone use.

- Operator-Friendly Features: It includes built-in Image Stabilization (IBIS), variable ND filters, and fast autofocus, which are not available on the Venice.

- In short, the Burano is a portable, agile Venice that maintains the same high-end cinematic quality.

Why Rent a Sony Burano Instead of an ARRI

Starting at $1,300 for a 7 Day Rental

Rent the Sony Burano over the ARRI LF (Large Format) for better value, advanced built-in features (like stabilization & Electronic-ND), superior autofocus, lighter weight for run-and-gun/gimbal work, especially if you prioritize compact versatility and cost-effectiveness for indie or documentary projects. But the biggest advantage is the multitude of Sony's other camera systems like the FX9 / FX6 / FX3 within the Sony ecosystem that we also have available to rent.

Cost-Effective: Significantly lower rental price than comparable ARRI bodies, allowing budget for more lenses or crew.
Built-in Stabilization (IBIS): A game-changer for handheld, gimbal, and drone work, reducing reliance on rigging.
Internal Variable ND (E-ND): Streamlines shooting in fast-changing light, ideal for indie and documentary work.
Lightweight & Compact: Easier to handle for solo operators, documentaries, and complex gimbal/drone setups compared to heavier ARRI rigs, notes Greenwood Cinema Rentals and The Camera Department.
Versatile Operation: Functions well as a high-end indie camera (like an upgraded FX9/Venice hybrid) or a B-cam on larger sets, say EOSHD.com and AbelCine.
Sony Ecosystem: Seamless integration with Sony's color science and workflows, making matching with FX9/FX3 footage easier, according to Fstoppers.
