As some of you know, we do a lot more besides camera rental... 📡

For the new Lay’s FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign, the whole script was built around a live video call featuring Messi, Beckham, Alexia Putellas, Thierry Henry, and Steve Carell. Problem was, the location was a complete signal dead zone.

For this assignment, we deployed a bonded Starlink and Peplink solution for the @hungrymaninc team. When you have that level of talent on the clock, the connection just needs to be bulletproof.

It’s a great example of the 360 on-set support we provide to keep shoots moving, no matter how remote or challenging the location. 🎬⚡️

LinkIP is part of how we support predictable, reliable IP connectivity on demanding film, television and live productions at Shoot Blue.

LinkIP by @egbroadcast_ is a licensed wireless IP system, designed to replace long Ethernet or fibre runs where cabling is impractical, while still delivering stable, low-latency performance. By operating in licensed spectrum, the wireless environment is known and controlled before a production even arrives on site, rather than competing with public or venue networks.

This makes LinkIP particularly well suited to large venues, outdoor locations, events and sports productions, where reliability and coverage are critical and wireless conditions can otherwise be unpredictable. Its mesh-based architecture allows systems to scale from simple point-to-point links to larger multi-node networks as required.

When combined with remote camera control systems such as @cyanview_ , LinkIP supports more flexible multi-camera and wireless workflows, including camera control, monitoring and data communication between departments, without adding unnecessary rigging complexity.

We supply LinkIP as a properly thought-through, supported system, including the required UK OFCOM licensing, so productions can focus on delivery rather than infrastructure.

Now part of our rental line-up at Shoot Blue - drop us a line if you’d like to find out more.

It’s often cameras and lenses that get all the attention, but it’s the infrastructure around them that can make all the difference.

CyanView has become part of how we can support more complex cinematic and multi-camera productions at Shoot Blue.

CyanView is a camera-agnostic remote camera control system, allowing anything from a single camera to large multi-camera setups to be monitored and controlled from a central point.

For DOPs and DITs, it provides a practical way to maintain consistency across multiple cameras, particularly when they’re mounted on cranes, vehicles, or hard-to-reach rigging positions. It’s equally at home with ARRI, Sony VENICE, the Sony FX series, and Blackmagic cinema cameras, making it well suited to mixed camera packages.

Combined with appropriate connectivity and infrastructure, it opens up the possibility of operating a fully wireless camera department, reducing rigging complexity and increasing flexibility where that workflow makes sense.

CyanView also offers some particularly useful functionality, including direct iris control on Sony FX6 and FX9 cameras with Sony E-mount lenses, without the need for external lens motors. It’s complemented by CyanView Dashboard, a browser-based interface for camera monitoring and control from a desktop, tablet or phone.

Now part of our offering at Shoot Blue.
Drop us a line if you’d like to find out more.

This is something that comes up fairly often.

We’re never the cheapest option for camera and lighting hire, and that’s by design.

Here’s a brief explanation of why.

PS: if this is the kind of support you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch.

Some lovely winter sun ☀️ 🕶️ for testing our portable solar panels today. Two 100w panels generating approximately 140w - enough to power a small production office or DIT setup, charge a few FX6 batteries, or run a Starlink WiFi kit. Or, perhaps most importantly, keep the crew’s phones full charged.

The solar kits we offer also include a 1200w power bank with AC mains output, as well as multiple USB-C outlets, giving you straightforward, dependable off-grid power - an easy win for a lower-emission shoot. 🤙 Drop us a line if you’d like to know more or book a kit.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.

Advantages of Anonstories

Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.


Private Instagram Viewer
