Boookable is an English-speaking rental house in Paris with 2,000+ references — cinema cameras, lenses, lighting, grip and sound — free delivery to your set anywhere in Paris, and quotes in English within 2 hours. We work with foreign productions every week.
Send your gear list → quote in 2hFlying equipment into France means an ATA carnet, customs at both ends, excess baggage fees and zero backup if something fails on day two. Renting in Paris removes all of it: no carnet, no customs paperwork, and a replacement unit is one phone call and one van ride away. Your local rental spend may also count toward 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, hybrids, broadcast and PTZ. Checked, cleaned and tested before every rental.
ARRI Signature, Cooke, DZO, Angénieux zooms, anamorphics, ND and diffusion filters — in coherent sets or by the lens. PL, EF, E and RF mounts.
Aputure and Nanlux COBs, Astera tubes, HMI and tungsten, softboxes, flags, frames, C-stands — the full French grip truck, without the truck.
Sennheiser and DPA wireless on legal French frequencies, Sound Devices recorders, SmallHD monitors, Teradek video transmission, timecode sync.
Our full catalogue is browsable in French at boookable.com — send us your list in English, we take it from there.
France runs on 230V / 50Hz with CEE plugs. All our lighting and distribution is native — one less adapter chain to fail.
