BBC Show Dragon's Den Invests In PROtastic GoPro Equipment

News Image
Popular BBC show Dragon's Den, where wealthily individuals invest large amounts in start up businesses, has invested in PROtastic GoPro equipment for the production on Season 13 of the show.

Dragon’s Den, filmed in Media City, Salford Quays, turned to local specialist supplier PROtastic when they needed a last minute order of mounts and accessories for the GoPro Hero cameras used in the elevator sequence.

PROtastic delivered a long list of parts to Salford Quays within just 18 hours of the order being placed and production was able to continue smoothly.

Camera Assistant Daniel Brown was very impressed with the quality of the PROtastic range and BBC Production Manager Katrin Lewis was impressed with the speed and efficiency of the order. Subsequent orders have since been placed.

PROtastic founder, and freelance Director of Photography, Chris Burton commented, "We were proud to support one of the BBC’s flagship shows. I myself have been a fan of Dragon’s Den since series 1 so being chosen to supply equipment is particularly flattering."
