The Sony BURANO is a compact 8.6K full-frame camera that sits between the FX9 and the VENICE 2. It brings VENICE-style image quality and a proper cinema lens mount into a body one operator can carry all day.

‍

Stabilisation is the big advantage. IBIS works with PL glass as well as E-mount, which is rare on a cinema body, and the built-in ND means fewer filters when the light changes. That makes it a strong pick for handheld fashion work, documentaries, commercials and music videos. It's also on Netflix's Approved Camera List, and it works well as a B camera alongside a VENICE.

‍

Choose your glass to suit the job. Build around PL mount lenses for a cinema look, or switch to E-mount lenses when you want autofocus and 5-axis stabilisation.

‍

It arrives rigged and ready to shoot, but V-Mount batteries are a separate line item, so add them to your list. Ready to book? Request a quote and we'll put your kit list together.

Does the Sony BURANO take PL and E-mount lenses? Yes, it takes both. PL is the standard mount, and E-mount is available when the PL adapter is removed. IBIS works with both, while autofocus is available on E-mount lenses only.

‍

Does the hire include batteries? No, V-Mount batteries and a charger are an optional extra. The kit includes a Tilta V-Mount battery adapter, so you can add batteries and a charger to your quote.

‍

Can I shoot handheld on the Sony BURANO? Yes, it's built for it. In-body stabilisation is 3-axis with PL lenses and 5-axis with E-mount lenses, and the Bright Tangerine cage comes with a top handle for comfortable carrying. Pair that with the built-in electronic variable ND and you can move between lighting conditions without stopping to change filters.

‍

Is the Sony BURANO Netflix approved? Yes, it's on Netflix's Approved Camera List. Check the recording format and settings your production requires before you shoot.

‍

How does the BURANO compare to the Sony FX9? The BURANO adds in-body stabilisation, an 8.6K sensor and a standard PL mount, so it suits productions stepping up in image quality and lens choice. The Sony FX9 remains a solid option if your lens kit is E-mount and you don't need IBIS.
