Lighting Equipment - Chicago Area
Can anyone point me to places in the Chicago area that have DV lighting equipment on display and are knowledgeable in the area?
For instance if I wanted to see a Lowel Rifa up close and maybe compare it to a Photflex Silverdome while talking to someone experienced in the field... Actually I would like that very much. Rental house maybe? Thanks |
Fletcher may be able to help you.
I have both a Rifa (1K) and a Photoflex soft box. Perhaps I can answer questions you may have. |
Thank you for the Fletcher link. It's good know there's a place in the area to rent lights for a day; that would let me try some equipment. I guess they'd rent to me even though I wouldn't nearly be in their target group of "high-end professionals ... in the industry."
Thanks for the offer to answer questions. I'll start a new post to keep things on topic. |
I had a really good experience renting from them for a day. They even have a handy drop off system so that you can return the lights after they've closed.
|
Thanks Ryan, that's good to know. I had been mentally pricing in an extra day or partial.
|
The drop off thing really came in handy on my last shoot in Chicago. Our shoot ran long (in fact, we almost missed our flight out) and it was a life saver. Very quick and painless. Just ask them about it when you're picking up your gear.
