Send your gear list → get a quote within 2 hoursFlying equipment into France requires an ATA carnet, customs clearance at both ends, excess baggage fees, and no backup if something goes wrong on day two. Renting in Paris eliminates all of that: no carnet, no customs paperwork, and a replacement unit is just a phone call and a van ride away. Your local rental expenses may also qualify for France’s Tax Rebate for International Productions (TRIP) —up to 30% back on eligible French expenses (40% for VFX-intensive projects), administered by the CNC.
Sony FX6 & FX3, Canon C70, ARRI and RED packages, hybrid cameras, broadcast cameras, and PTZ cameras. Inspected, cleaned, and tested before every rental.
ARRI Signature, Cooke, DZO, Angénieux zoom lenses, anamorphic lenses, ND and diffusion filters—in coordinated sets or individually. PL, EF, E, and RF mounts.
Aputure and Nanlux COBs, Astera tubes, HMI and tungsten lights, softboxes, flags, frames, C-stands—the complete French grip truck, without the truck.
Sennheiser and DPA wireless systems operating on legally authorized French frequencies, Sound Devices recorders, SmallHD monitors, Teradek video transmission, and timecode sync.
You can browse our entire catalog in French at boookable.com — just send us your list in English, and we'll take it from there.
France uses 230V / 50Hz with CEE plugs. All of our lighting and power distribution is designed for the local standard—one less adapter in the chain that could fail.
Our HF audio and video links are set to legally permissible French UHF bands and are checked before every rental. No surprises from the regulatory agency.
Foreign productions that spend 250,000 euros or more in France can claim a rebate of up to 30% on eligible local costs—including equipment rental—through the CNC. Ask your line producer; it’s real money.
