They booked that body.

Not a body like it. A shoot matching footage already in the can cannot take the equivalent camera, so 'we have something similar' is a lost job.

Three crew members on one timeline, each with their jobs laid out across the working day so gaps are easy to spot.

One hire from preparation to return.

The complete camera or AV kit hire occupies the selected camera or AV kit through the tested return, with first address and contact ready.

A body without its batteries is not a hire.

Kit goes out as a package and every part of it has to be free on the same days. One missing plate on the Thursday means the whole booking cannot go.

  • The exact item, the whole span

    Each body, lens and desk is its own bookable thing, so nobody finds out on the Friday that the camera they booked went out on Wednesday.

  • Shoots run over

    They always do. Move the return and the price follows the new span, so extra days are charged off your rate card rather than argued about.

  • The value is in the box

    A package worth more than a car goes out on a handshake unless the bond is part of the process rather than something you meant to sort out.

Built for your rental house

Built for every kind of kit hire

A London location-camera package

Hold the body, lenses and batteries as the accepted kit until each line returns to the bench.

The Manchester conference projector

Keep venue postcode and delivery window visible while staff add loading-bay instructions.

A livestream crew collects early

Reserve preparation before collection so the switcher and audio cases do not appear free overnight.

Inspection before the next hirer

The Manchester conference projector: hold the camera or AV kit after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first postcode

A London location-camera package: public booking captures one postcode; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A livestream crew collects early: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Cinema camera kit or projector package

The Manchester conference projector: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

BACS receipt reaches the office

A London location-camera package: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A livestream crew collects early: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one camera or AV kit

The Manchester conference projector: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A London location-camera package: the accepted quote and manually recorded BACS receipt keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A London location-camera package: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The Manchester conference projector: apply BACS receipt or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A livestream crew collects early: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your kit hire business.

Online booking

A hirer can select cinema camera kit or projector package and an open time online, with one postcode beginning the hire record.

Scheduling

The timeline holds the complete camera or AV kit hire through the tested return; the selected camera or AV kit stays off the public page.

Standing bookings

For regular camera or AV kit hire, repeat one weekday each week or every other week instead of rebuilding the same hire by hand.

One body, one shoot

The exact item leaves the page for the whole hire, so nobody is told on the Friday that the camera they booked went out on Wednesday.

Bonds

Store the card at booking, place the hold when the kit is collected, and release it or keep part of it when it comes back checked.

Email reminders

Enable the email reminder when the cinema camera kit booking needs one, rather than assuming every hire should send the same message automatically.

Customers

Returning hirers retain their hire history and staff notes, so the next request begins with useful context. The booking remains clear.

Team

Separate logins let prep staff see assigned work, while availability prevents a late camera or AV kit return landing beyond a shift.

Payments

Customers settle offline by BACS receipt or cash; staff record each receipt on the booking and retain a visible open balance.
