Photography Gear Rental: Lensrentals is a company built on the idea that you shouldn’t have to buy all of the fancy equipment to use some really top-notch gear for a trip. Here are a few of the packages Lensrentals offer adventure travelers.
Going on a trip of a lifetime is something that you want to remember forever. Whether your favorite way of remembering experiences is through living in the moment, writing about your day to day activities, or taking pictures, you want to make sure you are doing everything you can to remember this experience perfectly.
If your favorite way to remember trips and other experiences is through photography, then you are probably familiar with how intimidating and expensive the camera industry is. These days, smartphone cameras are amazing quality and you may be happy with that! If you want to try your hand at more serious photography or try out some gear for a really special trip, you likely are not prepared to buy all of the equipment necessary.
Lensrentals is a company built on the idea that you shouldn’t have to buy all of the fancy equipment to use some really top-notch gear for a trip. Founded in 2006 by Roger Cicala, Lensrentals has grown from a one man operation to the largest online rental provider for photography, videography, and lighting equipment and accessories in the United States.
Lensrentals carries camera bodies and lenses in every format from every camera manufacturer. Their products are the highest quality possible. The Lensrentals team even goes as far as to sell all equipment that is older than two years so customers can be assured they are using like-new products.
The way Lensrentals works is simple. You shop around the site to find the gear that fits your needs perfectly. You then pick a day you need the gear delivered by and Lensrentals will ship it to you so it arrives on time. You have the gear for the agreed upon amount of time so you can comfortably shoot whatever you need to! Then, you just ship the rented materials back to Lensrentals. Simple as that! Below are a few of the packages Lensrentals offers its customers. (See our review of our experience with renting camera gear from Lensrentals)
