I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere in or near Ohio that rents out mini dv cameras; I'm just looking for a xL1, gL1, or something comperable - basically I need a cheap rental with 3 chips. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You are in luck. I just happen to work at Industrial Video with offices in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus. You can call me at (614) 509-2360 if you like in the COlumbus offices.

We have AG-DVX100s, GL1s, XL1s, the new Panasonic 80s and other pro gear including lighting, mics, etc.

Call and talkto Matt in the rental department and he can fill you in. Or give me a ring.
