In May 2009, AMBIT invested in a brand new Panasonic HPX 500E P2 broadcast camcorder and Fujinon Genius 2 lens.

Says Pete Simon, AMBIT joint MD, “With the new camera and lens we can offer our clients the best quality currently available and the improved workflow is very helpful when a fast turnaround is required.”
