Media Lab
Availability of Machines and Devices
From time to time, certain machines and equipment may not be available for use due to renovations, expansions, maintenance, repairs or other similar reasons. This may be because they are out of order or require initial commissioning. If you require the use of specific equipment for your project, we ask that you contact the relevant contacts by email or telephone in advance to ensure availability.
We understand the importance of professionally documenting and showcasing your projects. That's why we have set up a media lab that provides you with all the necessary tools and software to take impressive product photos, create exciting podcasts, record lectures, or produce convincing pitch videos.

How You Can Use the Media Lab
To work in the media lab, you must first attend the General Safety Instruction and then receive instruction for the respective application (e.g. product photos or 360° camera). After that, you are allowed to work independently with most of the equipment. Exceptions are drones and camera crane, which have more requirements. Please contact us separately.

Photo and Video Cameras
Our photo studio offers a wide selection of SLR cameras that are capable of recording videos as well. We also provide professional accessories such as different lenses, tripods, a light tent, photo flashes with a vast selection of light shapers, light meters, and even a camera crane.
Nowadays, 360° content is becoming increasingly popular in various areas such as home tours, exploratory tours, product marketing, and immersive virtual reality videos.
Here's an application example: a 360° digital tour of the RUB campus.
