Camera rental FAQ

If your question isn't here, try our full FAQ or ask us.

Booking and prices

How much does it cost to rent a camera in Toronto?

Every product page shows the exact price for your dates. Text or call +1 437 747 6030 about weekly and monthly rates.

How do weekend camera rentals work?

Pick up your gear Friday afternoon, bring it back Monday morning, and you pay for one day. Saturday and Sunday pickups are by appointment, so give us a heads-up before Friday close.

Can I book online?

Yes. Pick your dates and every product shows live availability and the exact price. Add what you need to your cart and check out online.

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can for busy weeks and high-demand gear. For a last-minute shoot, same-day pickup works on in-stock gear when you book before close.

Can I cancel or extend a rental?

Yes. Cancellation fees can apply, so tell us as soon as you know. To keep gear longer, text or call before it's due back. Extensions depend on availability and may cost extra.

Insurance and care

Do I need insurance or a deposit?

We recommend production insurance for any shoot, and if you have a certificate of insurance, let us know at booking. Solo shooters and small teams without a production policy can still rent most gear. Insurance or a deposit may be required case by case, depending on replacement value or whether it's your first rental. Text or call +1 437 747 6030.

What if something breaks or stops working?

Call or text us right away at +1 437 747 6030. If it's a setting or a setup step, we'll talk you through it. If the fault is with our gear or something gets damaged, we'll work out the next steps with you. We expect gear back in the condition it went out, apart from normal wear and tear.

Pickup and return

Where do I pick up and return the gear?

Pick up and return your gear at 777 The Queensway, Unit 1, Toronto, ON M8Z 1N4. It's in Etobicoke, right off the Gardiner, about 15 minutes from downtown Toronto, with free parking at the door.

What are your hours?

Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 5pm. Weekend pickups by appointment. Text or call +1 437 747 6030.

Can I pick up gear the same day?

Yes, for in-stock gear when you book before close. Check out online, then come by 777 The Queensway before 5pm on a weekday.

What if I'm running late on a return?

Text or call us before the gear is due. Late returns can mean late fees. If nobody else has the gear booked, we'll check whether we can extend your rental, and extensions may cost extra.

Gear and help

I'm not sure what I need. Can you help?

Yes. Text or call +1 437 747 6030, tell us about the shoot, and we'll help you build a kit or point you to a package that fits.

What gear can I rent?

More than 360 items: RED, ARRI and Sony cinema cameras, cine lenses from DZOFilm, Sigma and Laowa, Aputure lighting, DJI drones and gimbals, portable power stations, teleprompters, grip, and even Polaroid cameras and a motion control robot.

Can I try gear before my rental?

Yes, for selected gear. Text or call us to set a time to come in and test it at 777 The Queensway.

Does the Evo camera robot come with an operator?

Yes. The Motorized Precision EVO camera robot comes with an operator. Text or call to plan your shoot.

Can I rent a studio too?

Yes. Our sister studio, Viva Studios, is also at 777 The Queensway: a 2,000 sq ft sound-treated soundstage with a 25 × 25 ft pre-lit white cyc. Book a free 30-minute Tech Scout to see it.
