Montreal Rentals
 

Any DVinfo'ers from Montreal?
I'm going to be there next week for a weekend shoot, and was wondering if anyone can suggest some places to rent gear that are relatively hassle free... and speak English (my French is terrible). I have a few in mind already, but I'd like to see what you guys suggest.

I'll need:
2 or 3 650w frenels with stands, barn doors, and some gels/diffusion
a good wireless mic
Possibly 1 or 2 tripods
Maaaybe a Canon XL1/1s/2 and another tripod (might want to do 3 cameras)
Might also want to rent a PD-170 for some low light work.

Oh, If there are any members here who want to make a few bucks by renting me some gear, I'm just as happy to pay you as I am to pay a rental house.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Dylan,

Got a HDW 700A that I rent out, great camera... low hours, just had a sophisticated tune up.

I send it all over the U.S. and Canada.

Let me know... It's a pro camera!

Thanks Dave, but super overkill for what I need. :)

If you go for a rental house, you should check out VideoService (www.videoservice.ca/). I've dealt with them multiple times and they're very professional. They'll have everything you need.

Thanks Jean-Francois!
Don't suppose you know if they speak English? :)
I'm going to get one of the production people there to line up what we need just in case.
