Film Radios Equipment

RADIOS

Film Radios stocks the industry standard, Motorola programmable Professional Radios.

All radios come complete with chargers, spare batteries and audio accessories (either Remote Speaker Mikes or earpieces). This is included in the daily rate per radio.

We have a number of licensed frequencies available, allowing multiple channel spread on the same radio. Our radios are compatible with many helicopter frequencies. These channels can be programmed into the standard radios, so you don't need to pay for additional radios for Ground to Air communications.

Film Radios carries the largest VHF radio rental fleet in the South Island. VHF radios are particularly suited to the Mountainous South Island Topography.

Our analogue radios offer zero delay in transmission; an essential safety aspect when time critical communications are needed.

We also carry a number of specialised accessories for Motorola radios. Covert earpieces, Headsets, adaptors for Helicopter headsets, bone conduction units and other specialty items.

We have radios and accessories to suit your situation. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

The new style of PLB allows the Rescue Services to identify accurately where the beacon is transmitting, what type of beacon is transmitting, who is the owner of the beacon, and relevant telephone details to contact in case of emergency.

Carrying a PLB gives an added level of safety to any backcountry mission.
