Arron Monkman (Venom: The Last Dance, The Boys in the Boat) on the Prodigy Air Deflector

Arron Monkman on the Prodigy Air Deflector

Using compressed air blasted at over 300mph, our Prodigy Air Deflector protects your lens and keeps your shot clear. For shooting in unpredictable conditions such as dirt, snow, rain or sand; it keeps your lens clear and reduces downtime. 

We’ve recently been chatting with a number of camera professionals about our Prodigy Air Deflector. The latest to reach out with a review is Arron Monkman: a 1st AC whose recent credits include Apple TV’s Masters of the Air, A24’s We Live in Time and Sony’s Venom: The Last Dance. Here’s what he had to say:

“I love the Prodigy and it would be the choice rain deflector now whenever possible.

We’ve used it on multiple productions now always to great effect, and in some punishing situations. It’s not only effective against rain, I’ve used it facing up into a heavy shower, in the desert against sand and on tracking vehicles against mud.

This photo is from Venom 3, we took a few units out to Spain with us. This one here was dipped into a river shortly after.”

The Prodigy was also chosen by the camera team on 2023’s The Boys in the Boat, with the 2nd Unit team shooting almost entirely on the water. And when working on the upcoming Desert Warrior with fellow AC Julian Zarzoso-Lowe, Monkman used the Prodigy to protect against a sandstorm. Whatever the weather, the Prodigy helps you achieve a spotless shot.
