Default Camera Gear Rental In/Near Bristol

Hi All,

I wasn't sure which section to post this in so hopefully it is okay to put it here.

I am going to be photographing at a music festival in Minehead in December. I'll be flying from Dublin and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of somewhere that rents camera gear in the Bristol area. Specifically I want to look into renting a tripod (big, heavy one suitable for 4x5) for the weekend so that I don't have to bring mine on the plane.

Thanks in advance for any pointers ...

Hugh

You could try Calumet in Bristol - not sure how much rental stock they hold so give them some notice and they do take a deposit.

Tony - fantastic . Manfrotto 058 + 229 head - 20 quid for the weekend. As opposed to 80 quid or so to bring it as oversized item on the plane. Take that Ryanair!

Can pick up my film there too.

Cheers!

I just rang them and they don't have any in stock, would have to order one from London meaning a minimum 4-day rental charge which makes it too expensive.

Might have to let Ryanair fleece me after all .. unless there are any other rental options around Bristol that anyone knows about?

Are there not any FADU members in the area who could lend you one for a few beers?
