Video cam hire ?

KStaford

Sorry if this is in the wrong board but we are working on a college project making a movie, the college video cam has just gone belly up.

The camera we were using is a Sony 1080i HDR-FX1; First 3 CCD HDV Camcorder

Is there anywhere that rents video cams of a reasonable quality similar to the above ?

Thanks to anyone who can help, we are desperate.

Fajitas!

Going to move this over to audio/video production.

You'll hopefully get a better responce there

try filmbase in temple bar, they are good and cheap, though youll need to become a member. not sure if they have the model you're after though.

the only place i think at the mo that has a HD camera is eurotek in dublin... give them a call.. i dont have there number at the mo tho.. they are on the web.

Surely Eurotek are out of business..... I dealt with them a few years back.... I'll leave it at that.

thanks all, I'll get on the phone

I dont suppose anyone knows an outlet who rents in the west of Ireland ? I live in Sligo so Galway, Mayo, Limerick etc would suit

Thanks all for help. Filmbase in Templebar came up trumps. You have to join their membership (€65) in order to rent kit but at least they were able to help.
