C300 Rentals in Toronto?

[ycabrera]

Hi there, anyone renting a c300 kit in Toronto or in Ontario area? Alternatively, anyone in NYC willing to work something out?

I know Vistek has them are okay rates. Sim Video also rents them out at a decent ish price, you will have more room for negotiation at SIM than at Vistek.

Joe Sutherland has them:

Can I talk you into a F55 kit?

 

[ycabrera]

I tried out vistek. Definitely a decent rate. But they also want a $6k+ deposit despite my production insurance, which is a little too rich for my blood. I'll try out Joe Sutherland. As for the F55, it's nice, and would look into it for another project, but I need something a little more documentary oriented.

When are you looking at renting this?
And how long?

I'll be purchasing the C300 very soon. I was hoping to get it for Christmas time, but Im not sure if Ill be able to do that anymore, due to the Holidays and everything being closed and such. But still trying.. I'll let you know. Roughly around Christmas/New Years Time at the earliest.
I'm from Oakville. Just south of Toronto.
*But Id need to be there with the camera most likely if youre renting it.

I'll have a full rig/kit available:
-C300
-Tilta C300/500 19mm Studio Cage
-Tilta Arri Standard Dovetail Shoulder Mount
-(4x+) 16/64GB C.F. Cards + Pelican 0945 Case
-Canon BP-955, Canon BP-975 batteries
-Vocas 19mm swing away MB-450 Mattebox
-Cartoni Focus HD Fluid Head (100mm)
-Gitzo GT-2542LS + 100mm Half Bowl Accessory
-Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
-Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
-Contax Zeiss 28, 35, 85, 135mm f/2.8


I believe that's all Id have for rent from what I remember off the top of my head.
I do not have rental rates yet. I'm still thinking about it. I do have a number in mind, but I cant say if its correct or not at the moment.

If you're based out of Toronto, you can use your production insurance to setup a corporate account with Vistek and then you no longer need to use deposits. I can likely help you source a C300 kit if you shoot me a PM with details of what you're looking for.
