La boutique des passionnés de nature
Founded in October 1989 by Marc Jardel, creator and manager for 36 consecutive years, JAMA takes its name from his initials, a nod to the company’s history.
Located in Millau, at the foot of one of the tallest viaducts in the world and 100 km north of Montpellier, the company is now led by Jonathan Martinez, a passionate nature and ornithology enthusiast.

I’m an electronics engineer who specializes in photography equipment, specifically animal photography.
In these technologic days, I can make any prototype you wish for a specific work or specifications; the results will make a clear distinction between you and your colleagues.
The more complicated it is the more I like it!
I can also make customised mechanical animal traps to the specification of the order; however I am not equipped to make adaptor rings for Nikon- Canons for example, or equipment of that level.
On this web site, you will find already lots of answers to your questions, but if not, you can contact us for further information about the choice of an electronic equipment, tripod, tent, back pack, or other items which are not found in the catalogue.
I am alone to make the work from start to finish; in that way I try my best to do a job as close to my customer’s requests.
Notice that lots of the items in this catalogue are made in Europe, a fact rare enough nowadays to be mentioned!
JAMA also provides the installation service of video cameras in the nature for birds or bat… watching observations. Several installations are running in France with the aim to introduce to the public and to help scientists to understand the mysteries of Mother Nature. For example: the osprey in the Orleans’s wood, The vulture in the “gorges de la Jonte”, the watch of a “puffin” nest in an isle offshore of Marseille, Chiropters colony in Bagnere-de-Bigorre (Pyrenees), the Bonnely eagle at Aix-en-Provence and some other older… .

In addition to Jonathan and Baptiste, the JAMA team also includes 4 staff members ready to assist you:
No matter which team member you contact, you will always be warmly welcomed at our premises!
So if you’re passing near Millau, don’t hesitate to drop by!
Additionally, JAMA regularly attends major nature and photography festivals, such as Montier-en-Der, the FIFO in Ménigoute, the FINN in Namur (Belgium), and many others, where we showcase a wide range of equipment.
>> Find the list of festivals on the homepage of each main category, under “News”, if you’d like to meet us there.
