Capstone Rental Agreement

 

Capstone Film Lighting is not responsible for any liabilities, claims, costs or expenses arising out of the use or possession of its equipment.  We offer and encourage you to inspect and test the equipment at our facility before pick up of equipment.  We recommend ample time for checking gear at our lot before loading out.

 

RENTAL AGREEMENT

Rental Agreement

We have a large variety of grip and light gear, but we don't have everything (yet). 

 

We understand that cinematographers and gaffers can be very specific in the gear they need, so if we don't have something you want to rent from us, we always do our best to either subrent the item for you, or point you in the direction of another trusted rental company that has the item. 

 

The more time we have to figure out a subrental the better.  We need at least 3 days notice before we can subrent gear. 

 

For subrentals on large items where we need to use our 3 Ton Truck to pick up and return (like long track, or dollies), there is a $100 drivers fee + gas and 40c/mile.

 

We can't promise to subrent.  Please check our Full Gear List to see our current inventory.

 

Note: Discounts will not apply to any subrented items.

SUBRENTALS

Subrentals

All equipment is rented in good condition and is to be returned in good condition, less normal wear and tear.  Any repair work for damaged equipment will be paid for by the renter.  Desert, beach, dirty, or wet filming conditions may require a cleaning fee if the items are not returned in the same condition, less normal wear and tear.

 

If equipment is damaged beyond repair, lost or stolen, renter will pay full replacement list price.
