Pro Tips for Renting Camera Gear

Get the most out of your rental and avoid common pitfalls

1

Check Sensor & Lens Condition

Inspect for dust spots on the sensor and scratches on lens elements. Ask the owner for a test shot of a white wall to check.

2

Test Autofocus

Take a few test shots with autofocus before leaving. Check for front or back focus issues, especially on fast lenses.

3

Bring Spare Batteries & Cards

Rented gear may come with one battery. Bring your own spares plus extra SD cards — a dead battery means a dead shoot.

4

Insure High-Value Gear

Camera bodies and L-series lenses can cost thousands. Confirm the rental includes damage coverage or add your own insurance.

5

Clean Before Return

Wipe down the body, use a blower on the lens, and return everything in the same case or bag you received it in.

6

Book Early for Weekends

Popular gear like drones and 70-200mm lenses get booked out weeks ahead. Reserve early for weekend shoots.
