May 23, 2022
Technological Cinevideo Services, (TCS Inc.), New York’s eminent, full-service camera equipment rental house, announces their relocation to expanded headquarters in New York City’s booming Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Double the size of their previous location, the new 20,000+ square foot facility is designed to meet the growing needs of feature films, scripted and unscripted television, commercials and other productions working on the East Coast, and worldwide. Doors are now open.
Located in the thriving Brooklyn media community, the fully-equipped facility includes an advanced testing suite and eight camera check-out bays along with three private rooms for features, commercials and large television productions requiring extra space. Open and modern, the new facility is designed to provide clientele with the TCS hallmark camera prep team and experienced technicians, as well as 24/7 tech support.
Specialising in the most desirable professional gear, the production community has relied upon TCS for over forty years. Known for personalized support, clients have access to the TCS inventory of world-class motion picture and television cameras and support gear including their extensive collection of contemporary lenses and sought-after vintage glass. Whatever the need or project, from specialty cameras for a cine-style feature or episodic, a dozen packages for reality shows, an efficiently appointed documentary rig, or other gear, TCS is at the ready.
In addition to keeping their own extensive rental inventory in pristine condition, TCS also offers an expert service, repair and maintenance department for equipment owners. This includes maintaining most digital cine equipment from camera bodies to lenses, monitors, fluid heads and more—even gear that is no longer supported by manufacturers.
TCS is a family-owned and operated business with brothers Oliver and Erik Schietinger, at the helm. Co-principal, Oliver Schietinger notes “Although we have been servicing Brooklyn for decades, our team is excited to be part of today’s Brooklyn filmmaking vitality. Co-principal Erik Schietinger adds, “Our supportive staff really understands our clients’ diverse requirements. From independent productions to studio films we know we can be a valuable asset to the production community.”
