About this rental

The Cinematography Electronics CINETAPE MEASURE System from Lightbulb Rentals simplifies distance measurement in filmmaking. Utilizing ultrasonic technology, this system continuously calculates the distance between a subject and the camera's film-plane, even during subtle subject movements.

This continuous measurement capability enhances focus accuracy, saves time, reduces retakes, and lowers production costs. Key components of the system include the CINETAPE MEASURE CONTROL and the SENSOR ASSEMBLY.

The control unit displays precise distance measurements based on data received from the sensors.

Lightbulb rents the CineTape Measuring System along with thousands of other items with next-day pickup or regional delivery across New York and Pennsylvania. Every order is fully inspected and prepped before it ships, and our team can help you build a matching package, add expendables, or answer technical questions before your shoot.
