This is especially true for cameras, which account for the lion\u2019s share of repair orders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Messung.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7612 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Messung-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Messung-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Messung-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Messung-630x402.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Messung.jpg 983w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/a>The majority of customers are broadcasters and TV production companies that record complex sporting and entertainment events. During broadcast production of soccer matches, cameras are subjected to extreme stress because they are exposed to the elements as well as to ambient water and dirt in the stadium, regardless of the weather conditions. Repairing and maintaining camera equipment extends its service life and reduces the need for new production.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Fraese.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7613\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Fraese-252x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Fraese-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Fraese.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/a>Spare parts are available for most high-end cameras from Sony and RED. \u201cHowever, it does happen that certain parts are discontinued\u201d, says service technician Christian Beeken. When a button was needed to unlock the battery for a RED camera, precision engineer Detlef Lutz produced it by using a 3D printer. Creativity and expertise were also required when Blackmagic launched a new monitor that acted as a rear camera viewfinder. \u201cThe new Sony camera didn\u2019t have a mount for the monitor, so I built an adapter\u201d, Detlef Lutz points out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Stativ.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7609 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Stativ-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Stativ-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Stativ-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Stativ-630x405.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/Stativ.jpg 978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repairs are also necessary for tripods. Dirt, corrosion, and water cause the brakes to wear out. Defects are also caused by damage and overloading, which can even result in broken tripod legs.
