DAVID MORGAN JONES

Cinelux is a UK-based, independent operation founded and run by me, David Morgan Jones. My background is rooted in filmmaking, primarily working as a camera operator on small but high-quality productions.
Those experiences have shaped everything Cinelux stands for. On set, you’re constantly balancing creativity with constraints – limited time, tight budgets, and the pressure to deliver the best possible image. In those moments, the gear you use isn’t just equipment; it’s the difference between hitting the mark or missing it.
After every shoot, I’d find myself asking the same questions: What could have made this better? What tool would have saved us time without sacrificing quality? That pursuit of solutions often led me to rent, swap, or buy new gear – but too often, the perfect tool either didn’t exist, was poorly executed, or was prohibitively expensive.
Cinelux was born to change that.
To push the boundaries of what’s possible with lenses and cinematography tools by re-housing, modifying, and reimagining them for new applications – with the ultimate goal of developing entirely new ways to approach camera and lens setups.
To create thoughtfully designed, versatile, and robust products that deliver the highest level of quality while solving both universal and unique challenges that camera operators face in the field.
My drive comes from a genuine passion for filmmaking and a lifelong fascination with cinema cameras and lenses. Repairing, modifying, and building my own solutions unlocked a new level of creativity for me. The experimentation, the risk-taking, and the problem-solving became as exciting as the filmmaking itself – and that energy fuels every product Cinelux develops.
Every tool we create is born from that same mix of passion, curiosity, and practical need.
From day one, I’ve wanted Cinelux to have a positive impact – on the industry and on the planet. That’s why every product’s carbon footprint is offset by 150%, covering not just manufacturing and shipping but also the design and development process.
I work with the not-for-profit initiative, My Carbon Plan, to calculate and offset emissions as accurately as possible, ensuring sustainability is built into every step.
Packaging is designed with the same care:Paper-based tapes and eco-friendly packaging where possibleRecyclable aluminium tins for main product packagingVegan, plant-based glues and materials used wherever feasible.
Cinelux exists to make filmmaking better without compromise – for the creators using our gear and for the environment we all share.
