Photo gear rental

I will rent you the necessary photographic gear immediately before the start of the shoot. This service will save you time and improve your (first) experience with telephoto landscape photography. For travelers arriving by plane, this saves the cost of transporting photographic gear.

Rental conditions

Rentals are possible only after signing the Rental Agreement and paying the deposit or the sum of all deposits in cash. Citizens of the Czech Republic can pay the deposit by bank transfere. The decisive factor is whether the amount of the deposit is credited to the recipient's account at the start of the rental. The payment receipt from your bank cannot replace this fact and is therefore irrelevant.

Rental of equipment is designed as an additional service to participation in workshops or guide services offered on celustka.com, moravsketoskansko.cz and moraviantuscany.com. A separate loan without ordering these services is excluded.

How does it work in practice?

You will arrive at the meeting point a little earlier than the other participants. You will read and sign the Rental Agreement and pay the deposit in cash. I will introduce you to the features of your chosen lens and how to handle the lens safely. Together, we will test the proper function of the lens on your camera body. If you don't have enough room in your photography bag, a semi-hard protective case is for you for free. I am always available for help or advice during the course of our shoot together.

At the end, I will test the proper function of the lens on my body and if all is well, I will refund the deposit paid less the cost of the rental.

There is only one of each gear available, so it's just like life: First come, first served.

Do you want to limit or eliminate any risk?

I recommend taking out liability insurance for a minimum of the price of a new lens.

What are the benefits of renting?

You'll have more fun shooting with the right technique, in many places the 70-200mm is simply too wide and doesn't get close enough to the subject.

All lenses are equipped with a lens hood and, most importantly, a lens foot that is used to mount the lens on a tripod in a balanced position. So you won't struggle with the lens dropping after tightening the tripod head. And even this seemingly small detail will contribute to your positive experience.

I also consider the time saved to be a significant bonus. You don't have to look for a lens from friends or rental shops, you don't have to make a reservation or go to a rental shop or even pay for days when you won't be shooting with the lens. I'll rent the lens on the spot and pick it up after we shoot together.
