Camera Equipment Rental

Here is how this works in practice. We source camera packages. ARRI Alexa, RED, Sony Venice and Blackmagic bodies with matched lenses, media and extras — from set up Dutch rental houses concentrated in the Amsterdam and Rotterdam production clusters. This serve the country's busy commercials, documentary and drama sectors. Our team builds the package around your formats and delivery specs, setting up prep days at the rental house so the camera department checks each body and lens before the shoot.

Here is how the picture comes together. For any specialty cinema kit not held in-country, gear moves freely by road from neighbouring Germany and Belgium, since the Netherlands is a founding EU member in the single market and Schengen — no carnet is needed for intra-EU transport. Because hire from Dutch vendors counts as qualifying Dutch spend under the 35% The country Film Production Rebates, sourcing camera kit locally directly strengthens a global shoots's cash-rebates position.

Here is the short of it. Camera kit in the Netherlands works in a temperate maritime climate — mild but persistently wet and windy, with frequent rain — so we issue rain covers and plan condensation control for bodies and lenses moving between cold exteriors and warm interiors as standard. Amsterdam's canal ring shapes camera logistics: narrow streets, masonry bridges and tight courtyards limit how a truck and cart reach set, and we plan staging to match.

The country is a natural logistics hub — Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is one of Europe's largest cargo gateways. The Port of Rotterdam is the largest seaport in Europe — which makes flying or shipping a camera package in straightforward. Global shoots have long used the Dutch base, from A Bridge Too Far around Arnhem to The Fault in Our Stars in Amsterdam. For non-EU shoots, ATA Carnets clear through Dutch Customs (Douane).
