OT: Budget for renting HDV cam?

DavidMcKnight wrote on 6/30/2005, 12:14 PM

For those of us that don't want to buy HDV cams right now, what are some sample prices for rental on these cams? I'm in the Houston area and our rates around here may vary - or I may have to go to Dallas - but I'm curious to know what anyone has rented one for in different parts of the country.

thanks,
David

$150 a day here in Portland, Oregon - since it's so new some places will let you "borrow" the cam if you wan't to do some tests before your shoot. This price includes a tripod, batteries, cables, etc. I think for another $40 they were throwing in a fairly nice LCD monitor that mounts on a C stand with a couple long runs of component cable.

We rented a Z1 for $300/day, but the weekend was free, so that's when we did our transfers.
