Equipment Rental
Lighting, stands and grip, microphones, recorders, and camera-support tools for photo shoots, film and video shoots, and production days, available by the day.
Lighting, cameras, and workshop packages
All prices exclude VAT. Equipment is available as an add-on to any active venue booking. All kits are pre-staged and tested, and gear is ready 30 minutes before your session begins. Multi-day discounts are available: 10% for two days, 15% for three or more days, 25% for a five-day week. Multi-day and venue-bundle discounts do not combine; the higher rate applies.
A refundable £150 deposit applies to orders over £200 and is returned within 48 hours of the hire.
Equipment is staged in the penthouse before your arrival, and complex rigs can be positioned the evening before by arrangement.
In the unlikely event of damage, we assess fairly and proportionately, with no inflated replacement claims.
