How to rent

We recommend reserving at least 12 hours ahead — day-of orders welcome in person.

Three ways to book

01

Build a gear list

Add gear as you browse, set your pickup and return dates, and send it over. We confirm availability and email a quote.

02

Call or text

Talk it through with someone who's used the gear: (604) 255-1231.

03

Email us

Send your shoot dates and what you're shooting to hello@lot2.media and we'll build the package.

Renter requirements

Deposit / hold

A major credit card with available credit to hold the replacement value of the gear. Released on undamaged return.

ID

18+, with valid government photo ID or passport.

Insurance

Or provide a Certificate of Insurance covering rented equipment for full replacement value, naming Lot2.Media Inc. as loss payee — then we hold only the deductible. Cinema cameras require insurance.

Pickup & delivery

Pickup

Pickup at 771 Vanalman Ave, Victoria. Mon–Fri 8:30am–5:00pm · Weekends: call for availability.

Delivery

Grip-truck packages are delivered to set. Ask us about delivery for larger builds.

Frequently asked

It is quote-first — no online payment. Build a Gear List on this site, call or text us at (604) 255-1231, or email us your list and we will send a quote. We confirm availability, you sign a short agreement, and the gear is ready at pickup or delivered to set.

You must be 18 or older with a valid Canadian province-issued photo ID or passport, and a valid non-debit credit card. Larger packages can be covered by production insurance instead — see below.

We place a hold on your credit card for the replacement value of the gear. Once everything comes back checked-in and undamaged, the hold is released in full. With a certificate of insurance, we only hold the amount of your deductible.

We strongly encourage a policy that covers rented equipment for full replacement value, naming Lot2.Media Inc. as Certificate Holder or Loss Payee — and cinema camera packages do require insurance. We do not sell insurance ourselves.

Everything is priced by the day, and a full week (7 days) is billed at 3× the day rate — seven days for the price of three. Longer bookings are prorated by the week.

We recommend reserving at least 12 hours in advance, but we are happy to take day-of orders in person at 771 Vanalman Ave.

Rentals are pickup from our shop at 771 Vanalman Ave, Victoria. The exception is the Grip Truck package — that one we deliver to set, and transport for large builds elsewhere on Vancouver Island can be arranged.

Absolutely. We are working cinematographers and grip/electric crew — tell us the shoot, the budget and the look, and we will build the kit around it.
