[WANT TO RENT] C-stands and lighting stands in Las Vegas from Sept. 8th to the 12th

[Michael Patterson]

I will be in Vegas at the Venetian shooting for a client at a conference from Sunday Sept. 8th through the morning of Sept. 12th. I usually bring all of my gear, but it's a pain in the butt. I was looking to lighten my load a bit by renting some light stands (three smaller collapsible ones are fine for my 3 light led kit) and 3 c-stands for my boom mic and 2 china lanterns. Please let me know if you have these or know of a place where I can get some. Also, I would pay extra for delivery and pick up to the Venetian as I won't have a vehicle. My email is michael@811productions.com. Thank you.

I was just down there and used JR Lighting http://www.jrlighting.com/

Very friendly folks and were easy to order and co-ordinate everything over email. If you need a grip for the job ask them for Helen, she is brilliant. I was working a small doc and she was constantly working quietly to make the shot better instead of just holding an applebox down. She has a nice balance of film and theatrical experience and will let you focus on chatting to the client and explaining how great the shot is going to be.

Paul,

Thanks for the info. I wish I could get a grip, but honestly it's a really simple shoot. Once it's setup (there's just a sweep) I'm good to go for the whole week. I suppose I could hire here for the afternoon on Sunday if she was willing to help setup and get it perfect cause after that, it's just a teleprompter cattle drive...one after the other.
