Our Story
Premium Camera Accessories for Professionals
Kondor Blue is a US-based company located in the hub of the film and television industry in the greater Los Angeles area. As filmmakers and creative professionals, our first-hand experience drives our product development strategy and positions us to innovate solutions for today’s busiest production professionals.
Founded in 2019 by LA-based Director/Cinematographer Lukas Colombo, Kondor Blue was created to not only design high-quality production accessories with the filmmaker in mind, but also to stand behind those products with a lifetime warranty, exceptional customer service, and fair pricing.
“Too many accessory companies charge a premium for products yet fail to stand behind them when an issue occurs. The user experience and customer service in this industry is often frustrating” says Colombo.
In late 2018 as Lukas Colombo and fellow multi-award-winning filmmaker, Vincent Laforet, prepared for a production with the newly released Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, Colombo was baffled at the lack of support equipment available for the camera at the time. Something as simple as a D-Tap cable to power the camera was only available from one company and at a price tag of over $80. This and similar experiences by Colombo and his colleagues were a driving force behind the design and development of the Kondor Blue brand.
“With Kondor Blue, I envisioned a company that could not only solve my frustrations with equipment manufacturers but also pioneer innovation to empower creators around the globe, making storytelling more efficient and accessible. I’m a big fan of Grant Petty’s (CEO of Blackmagic Design) philosophy and how he has revolutionized the camera market and democratized high-end filmmaking.”
Kondor Blue is a film equipment supplier that has launched more than 300 products, making it one of the world's fastest-growing camera accessory brands. Customer satisfaction has driven this success and made it possible to expand and serve creatives on every continent.
