How to choose

Match the body to the shoot

  1. Pick the shoot typeWho runs the camera? A solo operator usually wants built-in ND and XLR on the body; a full crew can build around a cinema body. What does it go on? A tripod, shoulder, gimbal or car mount decides how big a body you can carry. Where does sound come from: into the camera or a separate recorder? Browse cinema camera rentals for narrative and commercial work, video camera rentals for documentary, event and interview work, or action cameras for POV.
  2. Match the body and kitMatch the lens mount, sensor coverage, recording format, media, power, monitoring and audio to your shoot. See the exact listing for what is included.

FAQ

Before you book a camera

How do camera bodies and kits differ?

Some listings are body only. Check what each camera or kit includes, then add lenses, media, batteries, adapters and monitoring as needed. Browse camera packages or call or text +1 437 747 6030 to discuss a custom build.

Do I need production insurance?

Not always. We recommend production insurance for any shoot, and if you have a certificate of insurance, let us know at booking. We will require insurance and/or a deposit depending on the total replacement value of the equipment you rent or if it's your first time renting with us, and we will notify you if insurance is required for your order.

Solo shooters and small teams without a production policy can still rent most gear.

What paperwork do RED cameras need?

Insurance or a COI is required to rent RED cinema bodies, along with a deposit, two pieces of ID and a reference from a local GTA rental house or production. International customers, please contact us for details.

Name Viva Media as additional insured on the COI.

What paperwork do Sony FX and DJI Ronin 4D bookings need?

COI and a deposit are standard for FX-line and DJI Ronin 4D bookings.

Your certificate of insurance names Viva Media as additional insured. Send it at booking or to [email protected].
