Canada Camera Rentals

Camera and lens rentals with delivery across Canada

Canada Camera Rentals is a professional photography and cinematography equipment rental service operating in Canada under the trading name Bow Valley Films Ltd. Its approach is built around a courier delivery model: the customer chooses the dates, the equipment arrives at their home the day before the rental starts and, when it ends, it is returned in the same box with a prepaid label that the courier collects from the door.

Catalog of cameras, lenses and cinema equipment

The inventory is organized into several product families. In cameras, it includes mirrorless and DSLR models from Canon, Sony, Nikon, RED, GoPro, Insta360 and DJI, with their corresponding batteries and accessories. In optics, it covers Canon RF and EF mounts, Sony E, Nikon Z and F, OM System Micro 4/3, Sigma E, Laowa PL, DJI DL and DZOFilm in EF and PL, as well as teleconverters, adapters and binoculars.

The video section brings together lenses from Canon, DJI, DZOFilm, Laowa and Sony, along with lighting, camera supports, baseplates, matte boxes, dollies, jibs, heads and tripods, gimbals and V-Mount batteries. It also offers DJI drones with their lenses, batteries and controllers; sound equipment with lapel mics, shotgun mics and recorders; monitors and viewfinders; and various accessories such as backpacks, cleaning kits, filters and tripod plates.

Rental model and logistics

The process is described in four steps: choose the equipment, receive it by courier, use it during the contracted period and return it with the included return label. The company states that delivery is made anywhere in Canada and that most orders include free shipping. Many rentals do not require a deposit if the customer passes the verification process; otherwise, a deposit may be requested for the first rental.

Regarding insurance, most equipment does not require it, although a Damage Waiver is offered that can be selected during checkout to limit financial exposure in the event of accidental damage. The company also allows equipment to be taken outside Canada as long as the rental account has a valid Canadian billing address and payment method, with advance notice so it can be noted in the contract and to facilitate travel or customs documentation.

Account for production companies

Canada Camera Rentals has a specific program for registered production companies, free of charge and subject to approval. Its terms include low or no deposits, higher rental limits and courier delivery to set anywhere in Canada, as well as priority support.
