How it works

Three steps to the crew and kit you need.

  1. Search by equipment

    Enter the camera, lens or lighting you need. Results come from the kit members list on their profiles.

  2. Filter by location

    Narrow by region or radius to find someone with the right tools near your shoot.

  3. Connect and hire

    Review credits, kit and showreel in one view, then get in touch to agree rates and dates.

Why productions use it

Less time sourcing, less spent on hire.

  • Save time in pre-production

    Instead of asking groups who has a RED Komodo, search and find crew with the exact kit you need.

  • Cut rental costs

    When crew own the kit, you save on rental house fees. Agree crew-and-kit day rates directly.

  • Local crew with local gear

    Search by location and equipment together, and find a gaffer with their own lighting near your location.

  • Direct from the owner

    No middlemen. Work with owner-operators who know their gear inside out and can support it on set.
