What is a fair day rate for the following:

GH13
Chrosziel matte box on 15mm carbon fiber rods/DSLR riser
3 nikon primes (24mm f2.0, 85mm f1.8, 135mm f2.8)
Cartoni sticks

A production co. came to town and used mine since they didn't have their 5D with them.
They absolutely loved it by the way!

I was thinking $200 but if I'm off please let me know, I want to be right with my invoice.

Thanks,
Darren
 
It probably depends on the area you live in. Are there any rental houses in the area you can compare prices to? A bare GH1 in my area goes for $80-100 a day.
 
The rental houses closest to me get crazy prices... $175 a day for a 7D body + $50-$75 per lens + $80 for a tripod. Now that's high.

Here is the only place I could find a GH1 for rent, 4 day minimum for $450 shipped for a similar setup to mine... Their lenses are better but the closest match.

The new GH1 isn't hackable... a hacked GH1 goes for several hundred more to buy, so I'm assuming it would demand a higher daily rate.
 
Good point, and I did spend time with the DP explaining the bitrate and image quality. She was very impressed.

I think I'm pretty fair at $200 a day for everything.
