How rentals are billed
We rent on a 3-day rental week. Three, four, five, six, and seven days are all billed as a single 3-day rental — so a full week costs the same as three days.
Medium format through mirrorless and cinema — bodies and lenses for the work. Body-only rentals include a battery and charger; lenses include a UV filter.
Browse →Profoto strobes from on-camera speedlights to 2400ws studio packs. Kits ship in a case with your choice of Air Remote (Canon / Nikon / Sony / Fuji / Universal).
Browse →Color-accurate continuous and LED for video and hybrid shoots — point sources, panels, tubes, and big soft fixtures.
Browse →Hard, soft, big, small — shaped to your call. Softboxes, octas, parabolas, beauty dishes, grids, umbrellas, scrims, and sun control.
Browse →The room behind the room. C-stands, flags, cutters, booms, clamps, apple boxes, sandbags, frames, fabrics, and distro.
Browse →The kit you forgot at the office — tables, chairs, generators, comms, steamers, tents, SFX, and the utility gear that keeps a set running.
Browse →The in-between gear that makes a shoot work — tripods, gimbals, sliders, monitors, mics, recorders, media, and readers.

Build EstimateHow renting works
First-time on-location renters set up a rental account — a driver’s license scan, two business references, and either a Certificate of Insurance on file or a card authorization for the replacement value of the gear.
Send your gear list (or a brief) and shoot dates. We confirm availability and send a written quote — usually the same business day.
Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop Mon–Fri, 8:30am–5:30pm by appointment, or add the gear transport van at $225 per travel day (each calendar day the van is on the road for your job) — anywhere within 500 miles of Denver. Out-of-town crews: we stage on arrival. Off-hours pickup and drop-off is a flat $175.
FAQ
Yes. To take equipment on location you register for a rental account once — a quick step that includes a driver's license scan, two business references, and either a certificate of insurance on file or a credit-card hold for the replacement value of the rental. Renting just the studio doesn't require this.
We rent on a 3-day rental week: three, four, five, six, and seven days are all billed as a single 3-day rental, so a full week costs the same as three days. Daily rates are listed on every category page, and longer or recurring rentals are quoted on request. Invoices are payable by card or ACH bank transfer and carry a payment-processing fee — 3% for card, 1% for ACH — shown as its own line item on the invoice before you pay.
Send your gear list (or a brief) and your shoot dates through the request-an-estimate form, and we'll confirm availability and send a written quote — usually the same business day. Estimates are free and open to anyone; a rental account is only needed once you're ready to take the gear out.
Yes. The gear-rental house is completely separate from the studio — pick up (or have delivered) cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, and production supplies and take them anywhere. No studio booking required.
Both. Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm by appointment, or add the gear transport van at $225 per travel day — a travel day is each calendar day the van is on the road for your job, out and back. We don't ship, but we deliver anywhere within 500 miles of downtown Denver, and out-of-town crews can have gear staged on arrival. Pickup or return outside standard hours is a flat $175.
That's what your rental account covers — a certificate of insurance on file, or a credit-card hold for the replacement value of the gear. Bring everything back in good shape and the hold is released. If you're unsure about coverage, just ask before your shoot.
Easy — pick up Friday, return Monday morning, and it bills as a single 3-day rental. Both ends land inside our standard pickup window (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm, by appointment), so there's no off-hours fee. If your schedule doesn't fit that window, off-hours pickup or return can be arranged for a fee.
Yes. If you're renting as an individual on the card-hold option, your two references don't have to be rental houses or production clients — personal or professional contacts who can vouch for you work fine. Register once, authorize a hold for the gear's replacement value on each rental (released on safe return), and you're set.
Yes. photospace rents the Phase One XF IQ4 150MP system — one of the only places in the Rocky Mountains to rent a full medium-format Phase One kit. The complete kit (XF body, IQ4 150MP digital back, 80mm Blue Ring lens, batteries, charger, tether, and cards) is $825/day, and the XF body, IQ4 digital back, and Schneider Kreuznach Blue Ring LS lenses can also be rented à la carte. Everything is billed on our 3-day rental week — three to seven days cost the same as three. Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop or have it delivered anywhere within 500 miles of Denver.
It's the highest-resolution professional camera system commercially available — a modular medium-format platform built from the Phase One XF body, the IQ4 150MP Infinity Platform digital back, and Schneider Kreuznach Blue Ring leaf-shutter lenses. The IQ4 150MP back has a 151-megapixel full-frame medium format CMOS sensor (53.4 × 40mm — about 2.5× the area of a full-frame 35mm sensor), up to 15 stops of dynamic range, ISO 50–25,600, and 16-bit IIQ RAW files, with Capture One running inside the back for a tethered studio workflow.
A new Phase One XF IQ4 150MP system runs roughly $52,000 for the body and back alone, and a working kit with several Blue Ring lenses easily exceeds $60,000. Renting puts that system on a single shoot — a fine-art landscape, an architecture or product campaign, an editorial, or an archival reproduction job — for a fraction of the cost, and lets you test-drive medium format before committing. photospace rents the complete kit for $825/day on a 3-day rental week.
Yes. photospace rents the full Profoto system across Denver and Colorado — from A10 on-camera speedlights and battery-powered B10X Plus and B1X monolights to D2 monolights and 2400-watt-second Pro-11 studio packs, plus the complete Profoto Light Shaping Tools modifier range and Air Remotes for Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm. Kits start at $65/day and everything is billed on our 3-day rental week (three to seven days cost the same as three). Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop in Denver or have it delivered anywhere within 500 miles — covering the Front Range, the mountains, and the wider Rocky Mountain region.
The full range: A10 on-camera flashes; battery monolights (B10X Plus 500Ws, B1/B1X 500Ws, B2 250Ws); the D2 AC monolight (1000Ws); and studio packs and heads (D4, Pro-7a, Pro-8a, and the Pro-11 2400Ws pack). Every kit ships with an Air Remote in a case. Beyond the strobes, we rent Profoto's Light Shaping Tools — OCF and RFi softboxes, beauty dishes, umbrellas, the Magnum reflector, grids, gels, and the Clic system — so you can build a complete lighting package from one shop.
Profoto is the industry standard for commercial, fashion, beauty, and portrait work for a reason: AirTTL gives you a correctly exposed first frame automatically, High-Speed Sync (HSS) syncs flash up to 1/8000s to overpower the sun and drop backgrounds, flash durations down to 1/80,000s freeze motion cleanly, recycling is fast enough for bursts up to 50 flashes per second on the Pro-11, and color stays consistent shot to shot. Paired with the largest light-shaping ecosystem in the industry, it's a system that gets the look on set instead of in post.
Individual heads start around $25/day and complete kits run from $65/day (A1 speedlight kit) to $275/day for the Pro-11 2400Ws two-head pack, with popular battery kits like the B10X Plus and B1X in between ($150–$175/day). Everything is billed on the 3-day rental week, so a full week costs the same as three days. Add-on modifiers and Air Remotes are priced separately on the catalog.
