What’s the difference between a handheld camcorder and a cinema camera?

Handheld camcorders are all-in-one solutions with built-in zoom lenses, onboard audio inputs and compact bodies, making them ideal for run-and-gun filming. Cinema cameras typically offer larger sensors, interchangeable lenses and higher bit-depth recording, better suited to controlled, high-end productions.

Who are handheld camcorders best suited for?

Handheld camcorders are ideal for event videographers, documentary filmmakers, news crews, corporate video teams, and anyone needing reliable, quick-to-deploy equipment that balances quality and convenience.

Do handheld camcorders record in 4K?

Yes — many of our handheld camcorders offer high-quality 4K recording, with some models supporting 4K 50/60p, 10-bit colour, and HDR formats like HLG. Be sure to check the individual product specs for full details.

Can I connect external audio equipment?

Yes — most camcorders include professional audio inputs such as XLR or 3.5mm mic jacks, along with manual audio level control. Many also support wireless audio systems. We offer a wide range of microphones and accessories to suit.

Do I need extra media or batteries?

We always recommend hiring at least one extra battery and enough high-speed media to cover your shoot duration. Some camcorders support dual card recording for backup, which can be useful for live or event coverage.
