Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R Rental

If you want to rent equipment, you'll first need to register for our rental program. Don't worry, it's pretty easy. Here's what you need to do:

1. Register an account on this website if you haven't already done so. Please be sure that you include your address, phone number, and email address.
2. Read the Rental Terms & Conditions (~72k .PDF)
3. Bring a valid photo ID (A current driver's license or Government Services card) to the shop for verification. Make sure that your address is up to date and matches the address on your registered account. YOU MUST BE PRESENT IN PERSON TO VERIFY YOUR ID.

That's it! Once you're signed up, you can book equipment online, by phone, or in person at our shop. If you have any questions about any of these steps, please don't hesitate to contact us.

If you have rented with us before, drop us a line and we'll help get you set up.

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you complete all these steps before you come in to pick up your rental. If you forget to bring your ID on the day of your rental or it doesn't satisfy the requirements, we won't be able to release your rental to you. We don't want this to happen, and neither do you, so please consider completing your registration before it's an emergency. It costs nothing to sign up, and you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that you have access to our rentals when you need them.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHERE ARE THE RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS?
They are right here. (~72k .PDF)

DO I NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT ON THE WEBSITE BEFORE COMING IN?
Yes.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME TO SIGN UP?
One piece of current, valid government photo ID bearing your name and current address. This can be a driver’s license, BCID card, or another piece of government photo identification bearing the required information. It must be an actual, physical document, not a picture on your phone. The names and addresses on your ID must match your registered account . If you’re not sure whether you have the correct identification, please contact us before coming in to rent equipment.

If your ID does not have your current address, please bring an additional piece of official documentation with your name and current address. This can be a phone bill, bank statement, lease paperwork, school registration, or similar.

If you do not have valid ID, you will not be able to rent equipment.

DO I HAVE TO SHOW UP IN PERSON TO PRESENT ID?
Yes, you need to show up in person with your ID to complete the signup process. If you do not show up in person with valid ID, you will not be able to complete the signup process, which means that you will not be able to rent equipment.

DO I NEED TO BRING IN MY ID IN ADVANCE?
It is a very very good idea to complete your entire registration- including bringing in your ID for verification- in advance.

You can return the equipment any time during our business hours on the agreed-upon day of return.

CAN SOMEONE ELSE RETURN MY RENTAL EQUIPMENT FOR ME?

CAN I MAIL BACK THE RENTAL EQUIPMENT?
No.

CAN YOU TEACH ME HOW TO USE THE RENTAL EQUIPMENT?
We can give you general advice on how to handle the equipment, but we aren't able to give you a complete lesson on how to use it. If you are planning to rent equipment that you have never used before, we advise that you locate its instruction manual and give it a thorough reading before trying to use it. If you need help finding instructions, please let us know and we will do our best to locate them for you. We don't recommend walking into a shoot with equipment you have never used before, so you may also want to consider taking an extra day to familiarize yourself with rental equipment beforehand.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING WHEN I GET IT?
We check each piece of equipment to make sure that it is functional before you rent it. However, it is your responsibility to verify the contents of each rental outfit before taking delivery, and to ensure that all parts are present and in good order. By signing the rental form, you are acknowledging that you have taken delivery of a complete and functional outfit. The rental equipment must be returned in substantially the same condition as it was delivered.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE OR DAMAGE THE RENTAL EQUIPMENT?
You are liable for any and all repair and/or replacement costs for any equipment that you rent. This extends to any lost or damaged accessories. Any equipment not returned within 7 days of the agreed-upon end of the rental term will be considered lost. Any replacement costs assessed are due no later than 30 days after the agreed-upon end of the rental term, or the equipment will be considered stolen.

WHAT IF I DON'T RETURN A PORTION OF THE OUTFIT?
If you don't return a part of your rental equipment, replacement costs for the missing items will be assessed immediately. If you return the items within 7 calendar days, these charges will be refunded.

IF I BRING THE RENTAL EQUIPMENT BACK A FEW DAYS LATE, DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE EXTRA DAYS?
Yes you do.

IT TURNS OUT THAT I DIDN'T USE THE EQUIPMENT I RENTED, DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?
Yes you do.

IT TURNS OUT THAT THE EQUIPMENT I RENTED WAS NOT QUITE RIGHT FOR THE JOB, DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?
Yes you do. We're always happy to advise you on what equipment may be best for your needs, so please ask before you rent.
