Our Team

“When I started out, tiny broadcast cameras were unheard of. Now, technology is developing so fast, but the mounts available are either highly priced, or very poor quality. I wanted to bridge this gap so I designed my own range to solve real world challenges.”

Chris Burton (Founder)

Chris founded PROtastic after seeing the need for competitively priced high quality camera accessories. PROtastic started in 2015 with a range of 75 products for GoPro's. Since then, we've grown our range to over 400 DSLR and professional broadcast camera accessories from our main warehouse in Manchester.

A television cameraman for 25 years, Chris has shot around the world for clients such as BBC, Sky, National Geographic and Discovery and was the on screen cameraman for the cult TV show 'Most Haunted' from 2007 to 2014. He specialises in time-lapse cinematography and has shot commercials for many large brands and VFX scenes for feature films including 'Paddington 2'.
