Choosing the right camera for a production is one of the most important decisions a DOP or producer makes. The wrong choice affects your look, your post pipeline, and your budget. Camera hire in London should be straightforward — the right rental house will help you get it right from the start.
At Hi-Ten, we stock a range of professional cinema cameras available for hire from our base at Grove Park Studios, Chiswick, West London.
Camera Hire London — What We Stock
Our camera hire range covers productions of all sizes, from fast-turnaround commercial shoots to high-end narrative features. Whether you need a camera body only or a complete package with media, batteries, and monitoring, we can put it together for you.
Not sure which camera is right for your project? That’s a conversation worth having before you book. The right camera depends on several factors:
Your format — are you shooting 4K, 6K, anamorphic, or broadcast spec?
Your lens set — some camera bodies pair better with certain lens mounts
Your post pipeline — RAW, ProRes, or compressed formats each have implications for your edit and grade
Your budget — camera hire day rates vary significantly depending on the body
Call us and we’ll help you work it out.
Pairing Your Camera with the Right Lenses
A camera body is only half the equation. The lenses you put in front of it define the character of your image far more than most people realise. Hi-Ten stocks a full range of cinema prime and zoom lenses available alongside any camera hire.
Popular combinations include the Sony VENICE or ARRI Alexa paired with Cooke S4/i primes for drama and high-end commercial work, and Canon cinema bodies paired with Canon CN-E primes for versatile, sharp results across a wide range of productions.
Complete Production Packages
Camera hire doesn’t exist in isolation. Most productions also need lighting, grip, power, audio, and monitoring. Hi-Ten stocks all of these, meaning you can build a complete kit list in one place.
