Why Rent Your Camera from OHD Studios Instead of Online?
Expert Guidance, Personalized for You:
The Perfect Fit: The knowledgeable staff at OHD Studios isn't just about pushing gear. Our team will work to learn your project needs and recommend the ideal camera, lighting equipment, and more for your vision. Forget deciphering specs online – get personalized advice to ensure you rent the right gear, not the most expensive gear.
Try Before You Commit: Unlike online rentals, OHD Studios allows you to get hands-on with the equipment before committing. Feel its weight, test the button layout, and ensure it's comfortable for you to operate. This minimizes the chance of renting a camera or light that doesn't suit your project.
Seamless Support: If you encounter any technical challenges during your rental period, OHD Studios is right there to help. Their on-site expertise allows for quick troubleshooting, equipment replacements if needed, and personalized guidance to keep your production rolling.
While online rental houses offer convenience, there are distinct advantages to renting your camera locally at OHD Studios.
Beyond Convenience:
While online rentals boast ease of access, consider these potential drawbacks:
Limited Hands-on Experience: Online descriptions and reviews can be misleading. OHD Studios offers the advantage of physically interacting with the camera, ensuring it meets your needs before you rent.
Complete Packages: We build our packages to be “shoot-ready”. We won’t lure you in with a cheap rate on a camera body, only to over charge you for essential accessories like batteries and media.
Shipping Considerations: Factor in shipping costs and potential delays when renting online. OHD Studios offers immediate pickup and return, saving you time and ensuring your camera arrives on time for your shoot.
Returns and Troubleshooting: Returning or troubleshooting issues with online rentals can be a lengthy process. OHD Studios provides a local, responsive solution for any questions or concerns that might arise during your rental period.
Building Your Creative Network:
Support Your Community: Renting locally keeps your dollars circulating in Louisville’s creative scene. OHD Studios, a pillar of the local filmmaking community, often hosts workshops, classes, and events – a valuable resource for filmmakers of all levels.
Connect with Fellow Filmmakers: OHD Studios fosters a collaborative environment. You might meet other creatives, swap filmmaking tips, and discover exciting local projects or networking opportunities. Renting locally can unlock exclusive benefits and build a long-term partnership with a trusted source.
OHD Studios requires insurance for all rental orders - That's why we've partnered with a preferred insurance provider who understands our industry to offer convenient, short-term insurance specifically designed for film productions.
