High-Speed Revolution: PROAV Named UK Distributor for the Disruptive PIXBOOM SPARK Cinema Camera

HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, UK — Proactive UK Ltd (PROAV.co.uk), one of the UK’s leading suppliers of professional broadcast and video equipment, is proud to announce its appointment as the UK distributor for PIXBOOM, the innovators behind the groundbreaking Spark high-speed cinema camera.
Following a remarkably successful Kickstarter campaign that saw global backers pledge millions to bring the project to life, the Spark has moved into full-scale production. PROAV will now serve as the primary gateway for UK creators to access this game-changing technology, which brings high-frame-rate (HFR) cinematography—previously reserved for Hollywood-budget productions—to the wider filmmaking community.

The Spark: Hollywood Speed, Indie Accessibility

The PIXBOOM Spark is a compact powerhouse designed to shatter the price barrier of high-speed imaging. Featuring a Super 35mm BSI (Backside Illuminated) sensor with a Global Shutter, the Spark eliminates rolling shutter distortion while delivering:

• 4K at 1,000fps and 2K at 1,800fps for breathtaking slow-motion.
• 4.6K Open Gate recording at 670fps.
• 13+ stops of dynamic range and Dual Native ISO for exceptional low-light performance.
• 10 bit and 12 bit recording options
• Unlimited RAW recording via a high-speed SSD system, removing the limitations of traditional RAM buffers.

A Hub for UK Creators

PROAV is more than just a distributor; the company will act as the UK’s central pre- and post-sales hub for the Spark. Filmmakers from solo YouTubers and branded content creators to major rental houses and TV production companies can now:

• Demo the Kit: Visit PROAV’s 1,500 sq. ft. Hemel Hempstead showroom for hands-on testing and expert-led demonstrations.
• After-Sales Excellence: Benefit from PROAV’s renowned technical support, featuring a dedicated UK-based service and maintenance centre.
• Expert Guidance: Leverage over 27 years of industry experience from a team rated "Excellent" on Trustpilot by thousands of satisfied customers.

"We have always been passionate about putting the best possible tools into the hands of creators," says Nick Millen, Commercial Director at PROAV. "The PIXBOOM Spark is a rare 'unicorn' in the industry—offering specs that usually cost upwards of £50,000 at a fraction of that price. By acting as the UK service and support hub, we’re ensuring that Spark owners have the local backup and expertise they need to keep shooting without compromise."
