Where do I find one? -- the rentals thread

Cody Mielke · December 6th, 2005, 03:56 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know, that for the rest of the month of December, I will be running a special, that includes a set of 4 geared Nikon Lenses, with the rental of Mini35, for no additional charge.

Cody, the mini 35 worked great for my music video shoot last week, thanks again, we'll be using it very soon for another video.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the over excited title there...(needed everyone's attention).

I will be shooting a music video in Austin at the end of January and need a P+S Technik adapter to rent to go along with my SDX-900 camera.

Does anyone have their own adapter with lenses that would be willing to rent it out to me? And if not that, does anyone know of a rental house in Austin that has the adapter?

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks again.

Jeff Ray

Have you contacted the friendly, wonderful and nice folks over at ZGC.com ?

Jeff Ray · January 12th, 2006, 07:13 PM

I have before, but aren't they located soley out of Dallas?

Dennis Hingsberg · January 12th, 2006, 07:30 PM

I thought they had a list of rental places across North America on their site? Either way if you contact them they may know of someone in your area who rents it, seeing as they are the authorized reseller of the mini35 for all USA and Canada.

Jeff Ray · January 12th, 2006, 10:10 PM

Thanks Dennis. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they can do anything for. Appreciate the help!

I know it's a bit late to respond, but FYI, we do ship our Mini's across the country (just sent out two yesterday). When we do that, we give you one free travel day, at least, and try to make it conducive to long-distant renting.

We also ship cameras, lenses, matte boxes, follow focus systems, etc.

Our new website and pricing will be posted tomorrow at www.indierentals.com

Thanks!

Hi,
Does anyone know of rental houses for the Mini 35 in the London/Southern England area? Looking to get weekend rental of JVC HD101 + Mini 35 + Lenses (specifics to be confirmed) for late Feb/early March...

Rabi Syid · January 19th, 2006, 06:10 PM

Optex which i'm not sure if they are still operating, ( i rang a few times at the start of the year and got no luck) are the biggest stockest of the M35 unit. They'd charge 80p a day which i think is standard in the country. Good luck.

Tony Davies-Patrick · January 20th, 2006, 04:01 AM

Sadly, OPTEX are no longer operating and went into liquidation.

Martin Costa · January 20th, 2006, 05:34 PM

Paul, I'm sure Arri in Uxbridge has one and they'll have lenses as well. Give Phil Cooper a call on 01895 45 71 00.

I'm shooting with JVC's HDV100,
1 need to find a supplier that will hire the P+S Techniks adaptor in the UK
2 in the mean time, I have a had a adaptor engineered to mount (the mount is mechanical, it has no glass) Nikon SLR lens to the 100, but the size of the shot is etreemly telephoto, even on a super wide lens.
3 can some one shed any light on shooting with SLR lens on video camera, as it was a an exciting moment which came crashing down :-(
4 With the P+S Techiks I assume the resulting shot would be exactly what is expected from a film camera.

Thanks in advance
Rash

On the P+S Technik support page there are links to rental locations all over
the world (including the UK) for the mini35 & pro35:

I was curious if anyone knew of a place near Dallas or Lubbock that rents out the P+S Mini 35 adapters. Also if anyone knew where maybe I could purchase one or if it is cheaper to purchase right off Techniks Website, although I'm not sure how to do it there either as I wasn't able to find items for sell on their site. Any help would be great.
