Set vs Body-Only — Which Is Smarter?
Body-only rental looks cheaper, but accumulates hidden costs: lens, monitor, follow focus, mattebox, batteries, media, cables — each rented separately or forgotten on shoot day.
Sample math (Sony FX3):
- Body alone: 1,500 TRY/day
- + Sony G Master Prime Set: +3,400 TRY
- + Atomos Shogun 7 monitor: +1,000 TRY
- + Tilta follow focus: +500 TRY
- + ARRI mattebox: +500 TRY
- Total à la carte: ~6,900 TRY/day
- FX3 Cine Set (everything bundled): 4,500 TRY/day — saves 2,400 TRY
Weekly Rental Advantage
All equipment follows the same multiplier: weekly = ~4.9× daily:
- 1 day: full daily rate
- 3 days: ~2.4× daily
- 7 days: ~4.9× daily
Anything beyond 4 days, weekly is the better deal. For 14+ day rentals, ask us about corporate package pricing.
Don't Choose on Price Alone
Budget matters, but it isn't the only criterion. A camera's codec affects post-production cost — RAW formats mean longer color grading. Producers should evaluate camera rental cost and post costs together.
Lens quality is equally important. Pairing a Sony FX3 with a Zeiss Nano Prime set is both economical and cinematic; pairing Venice 2 with cheap photo lenses defeats the purpose.
Booking & Contact
For Venice 2, Burano 8K and RED Komodo 6K — high-demand bodies — we strongly recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance during peak season (May–September).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the prices VAT-inclusive? +
Prices listed here are net of VAT. For corporate invoicing, 20% Turkish VAT is added. For international productions billed under ATA carnet or with reverse-charge VAT, contact us directly.
How is weekly pricing calculated? +
Weekly rental is approximately 4.9× the daily rate. So any project running longer than four days benefits from the weekly package. Three-day rates are roughly 2.4× daily.
What is the deposit policy? +
Deposits scale with equipment value. Mid-range cameras (Sony FX3, FX6) typically require a 30,000–80,000 TRY deposit. High-end bodies (Sony Venice 2, Burano 8K) require 200,000+ TRY. Corporate clients with established relationships can arrange contract-based alternatives.
Should I rent a body alone or a full set? +
If you bring your own lenses and accessories, a body-only rental works. If you want a turn-key shoot package, our Basic / Cine / Pro sets bundle camera + lens + monitor + follow focus + mattebox + batteries. For example: Sony FX3 body is 1,500 TRY/day, but the FX3 Cine Set with everything included is 4,500 TRY/day — cheaper than renting items individually.
Do you offer early-booking discounts? +
Yes — bookings made 30+ days ahead during peak season (May–September) qualify for a 5–10% discount. Multi-week rentals receive additional package discounts. Contact us for custom pricing.
What happens with damage or loss? +
All equipment is maintained and insured. Normal wear is covered; damage from negligence or loss is charged at current market replacement value. We do a joint functional check at pickup and return to keep things transparent.
