What You Get When You Book the Van
The Two Door FX production van is a crewed mobile production unit based in Charlotte, North Carolina. It carries a complete camera, lighting, grip, sound, drone and DIT package, and it is only booked with our crew. That means every light, stand and camera on the truck is run by people who set it up weekly, not for the first time on your shoot day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent the van and gear without a crew?
No. The van and every piece of gear on this list are booked with the Two Door FX crew. You get the equipment and the people who know it, so nothing on set is a first-time setup.
What area does the production van serve?
We’re based in Charlotte, NC and cover Charlotte and the surrounding region, roughly an hour and a half drive in any direction. Projects elsewhere in North Carolina can be quoted on request.
What cameras come on the truck?
A RED Epic Dragon 6K package, two Canon C300 Mark II packages and a Canon R5 C, with XEEN and Rokinon cinema primes, Canon EF and RF zooms, wireless follow focus and SmallHD monitoring.
Can you handle second unit for an out-of-town production?
Yes. Agencies and producers based outside Charlotte book us for principal photography or second unit so they don’t have to fly in gear or crew.
Do you offer drone footage?
Yes. Aerials are flown by an FAA Part 107 certified pilot on a DJI Mavic 3, backed by $5M in drone liability insurance.
How is it priced?
Shoots are booked as full days. Your quote depends on crew size and the camera, lighting and grip package the project needs. Book a call or call (704) 898-1011 and we’ll build it with you.
