Screen Producers Australia (SPA) is proud to announce that we are now partnering with Virgin Australia to offer our Associate Members a generous 64kg of checked baggage per member when travelling domestically within Australia. This new partnership addresses the ongoing problems productions face when travelling with film equipment and represents yet another fantastic benefit of being a member of SPA.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY PRODUCTION?

Your production could now travel with the following per member:

  • Laptop (2kg);
  • Block Battery (7.5kg);
  • 4K Camera (4.5kg);
  • Condenser Mic (850g);
  • Lens Kit (1.5kg);
  • Gimbal/Stabiliser (7kg);
  • Field Recorder (1.5kg);

in addition to 19kg of your usual luggage!
