Read the Branch Chair’s article on rates.

The Camera Branch Rate Cards are based on real-world data provided by members and non-members though the ongoing Rates Survey. We rely on this information to ensure that the cards represent the most accurate & up-to-date picture of what people are actually being paid in our industry. We need to keep collecting as many responses as possible, with a wide variety of examples from different types of jobs in multiple sectors. You are encouraged to make multiple entries over time or to represent different types of jobs and rates.

• Fill in the Rates Survey.

General queries should be sent to the main email address, info@camerabranch.org.uk.

We’re particularly keen to hear from Specialist Rig/Gimbal Technicians who are currently under-represented on the rate card.

All submissions will be treated in strict confidence.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
