Renting Camcorders with free Shipping: Save Time and Money by Borrowing camera Gear

Buying the gear you want for each of the types of projects you work on or events you attend can get very expensive prohibitively so for the hobbyist or a pro who is still just starting out. But that doesn't mean you can't keep up with the competition! Here are just a few of the benefits of renting:

• Convenience when traveling. Leave your personal gear at home and eliminate the risk of it getting broken or stolen.
• Special occasions. Filming air shows or wildlife migrations once a year is the perfect use case for renting vs shelling out upwards of 10K on a super telephoto lens or high-speed camera!
• Gain experience. Don't learn on the job study a piece of gear ahead of time! Rent a camera or cinema lens and get hands-on with it before jumping into a major event assistants, take note!
• Low-cost testing. Not sure if you want to upgrade or if some certain new shiny system will work with your current accessories? Instead of using credit to purchase something expensive and relying too much on a decent returns policy, why not just borrow the item for as little as dollars a day?
