INDEXCanon C200 rental shop for familiarisation
5 years, 11 months ago - James James
Hi, I need to become familiar with a Canon C200, watching tutorials without the gear isn't as effective though!
Does anyone know of a kit hire place in London or the Midlands that would let me "play" at their premises for an hour or 2?
Most cameras operate fairly similar so I can't see it taking too long. Same goes for a field recorder if anyone knows would appreciate.

Hi James,
You might try CVP - they have a beautiful new showroom that I've visited in London, the CVP Creative Experience. To quote from their web site: "The Fitzrovia townhouse offers five floors of production equipment from leading manufacturers, including ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, Zeiss, Panasonic, Blackmagic Design and many more. The space provides an experience that enables visitors to identify a technical solution that will deliver on their creative vision. The concept behind the Newman Street facility is to provide visitors with an engaging, personalised experience in an environment designed to connect creative vision and technology. This permanent display of equipment is a playground where people can come to see, handle and test every single bit of kit required to bring their project to life".
More details are at https://cvp.com/support/page/cvp-fitzrovia/page. And if London is too far, I think they have a Midlands depot at Studley (less glamorous than Soho, but very customer-focused, I'm told).
If you want pure kit-hire options, I am endeavouring to grow the list of hire companies on my web site - The Camera Map - see https://thecameramap.com/listings/
Good luck with your search! Tony
