Looking for a cheap and awesome dolly/slider and lighting rental in NYC, oct 14-16!

[Ivan Egorov]

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a cheap dolly/slider, tripod with a head and lighting (kinoflo/litepanels, and arri 300/650s) rental in NYC, oct 14-16!
Would be better if I could have an assistant, too.
What would the price be?
I am not a local and dont know anyone or anything here yet, I am here for a shoot and leaving shortly after.
I will have a Red MX body flying back from LA in couple days, if you need it for rent, we can work it out.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!!
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

I'm located in NYC and have exactly what you're looking for.
Arri tungsten kit, 150, 350, 650
Kino Flo Diva 401
CamTram 2800 Dolly system with ladder
Manfrotto 503 tripod and head
Gear plus me as an assistant $500 per day.

I also have a DeSisti 575 HMI that's in the shop right now but should be fixed by your trip
A LitePanels Mini light, I'm mostly a DSLR shooter so I have a full range of 7D/5D gear. Also a nice sound kit.

Here's a link to a Music Video I just directed.

Thanks Chris,
do you have Kinoflo 2x4ft?

$500 is mad expensive for us, do you rent gear out without yourself or not?

And your video looks gooood! ^)

Hey Ivan
Pm sent.
we are located at Time-square.

Morning, thanks for checking out the video.

Sorry, I wont rent out my equipment without me, it's not worth it for the risk, I'm not a rental house;-)

The best I can offer you is $500 per day for 2 Days on a 3 Day job. $1000 for the 3 days.
No kino 2-4's and I'm also located in Times Square.

Chris
