AI image by LocalRankRenting a camera, lens or drone is often smarter than buying for a one-off shoot, a holiday or a short project, and Singapore has rental houses for every scale, from travel-sized action cameras to full cinema packages. This list covers six operators, each checked against its own website. We describe what each says it rents, how it takes bookings and where it is based, without quoting rates, because prices and stock change constantly. Use it to shortlist two or three, then request a quote with your exact dates, lens mounts and accessories, and ask about the rental terms, before you commit to anything.
1. Renticulous
Renticulous is a camera and event-gear rental business that says it has been renting out equipment since 2019. Its site organises the catalogue into cameras, including DSLR, mirrorless, action and 360 models, plus lenses, DJI drones, video and lighting gear, audio, gimbals, tripods and storage. It also publishes ready-made travel and production packages, which help first-time renters avoid forgetting batteries or cards. Lens listings span Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, Sigma and Tamron in several mounts. Customers browse online, submit a rental form and wait for staff to confirm by email, with collection from its Ubi base or delivery both offered. Rental policies, agreement and FAQ pages are linked from the site, so read them first.
2. Camera Rental Centre
Camera Rental Centre, run by CRC Group, presents itself as a long-established rental house and says it dates from 2008. Its Lavender premises are split into a photo-gear counter and a separate film-gear counter, which suits both stills shooters and small video crews. The online catalogue covers cameras, lenses, video, lighting, audio, adapters, budget and travel categories, packages, studios and grip vans, with brands such as Sony, Canon, Nikon, Leica, Fujifilm, Aputure, Nanlite, DJI, GoPro and Insta360 listed. Its site says discounts apply for longer rentals and mentions a mobile app and delivery promotions. Check the current terms and what deposit applies to your chosen items before you collect anything from the counter.
3. JustRentLah
JustRentLah is a Singapore rental shop for camera, lighting, audio and video gear, operated by JustRentLah LLP. Its online store lets customers book instantly and check availability, and the catalogue is broken down by camera type, including 360, action, compact, mirrorless, DSLR and pocket gimbal cameras, plus drones. Lenses are sorted by mount, covering Canon RF and EF, Sony FE and E, and Fujifilm X, which makes it easy to match glass to your body. The shop also lists lighting, audio recorders, microphones, gimbals, grip and ready-made bundles. A clear rental guide, FAQ and agreement are published on the site, and the contact page shows posted opening hours for weekdays and Saturdays.
4. Arkework Studio
Arkework Studio is a small production outfit that offers camera hire alongside its own videography and photography services. Its equipment list is broader than its short homepage suggests, with bodies from Sony, Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Ricoh and GoPro, Insta360 and DJI action and drone models, and lens options across Sony, Canon, Fujifilm and Nikon mounts. It also lists gimbals, filters, tripods and rigs, monitors, lighting from Aputure, Nanlite and Godox, microphones and portable power. Its site says listed rates are per day and that longer rentals cost less per day, so you are asked to enquire. Bookings and questions go through WhatsApp or email, which suits vloggers and travellers wanting quick, informal answers.
5. Cinegear
Cinegear (S) Pte Ltd is aimed at film, commercial and broadcast crews rather than holiday snappers. Its site lists digital cinema cameras from names such as ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon and Blackmagic, alongside cinema lenses including Cooke, Zeiss, Angenieux, anamorphic and vintage options, plus filters, matte boxes, monitors, wireless video and teleprompters. It also rents lighting, grip, audio and packaged grip trucks for larger shoots. The company states an office on its contact page with weekday and Saturday-morning hours, and a separate studio that is available strictly by appointment only. A quote list on the site lets you collect items before enquiring, so prepare a full kit list for a production first.

6. AVRENTAL.COM.SG
AVRENTAL.COM.SG is an event AV business whose camera rental page targets corporate and live-streaming work rather than casual users. The page describes cameras for live webcasting, event video feeds and cinematic marketing videos, naming models such as the Panasonic UX180, Canon C100, Sony A7 III, Red Epic Dragon and BirdDog P200 PTZ, plus a DJI RS 3 Pro gimbal. It also describes remotely operated pan-tilt-zoom cameras that can be controlled from a streaming desk, with an optional pre-configured laptop and router so the setup works out of the box. Bookings are taken through WhatsApp, and the same site rents teleprompters, screens and sound systems, which helps if your shoot or event needs more than one item.
How to choose
- Match the shop to the job. Holiday and vlogging rentals suit shops with travel bundles and action cameras, while commercials and short films need cine bodies and lenses. Event streaming favours operators with PTZ cameras and technical support. Telling the shop your purpose helps it recommend a sensible kit rather than just the priciest option.
- Confirm the lens mount before anything else. Sony E and FE, Canon RF and EF, and Fujifilm X are not interchangeable without adapters, and adapters can change autofocus behaviour. Check the exact mount on the listing, ask whether an adapter is included, and bring your camera body to a collection counter if you can.
- Ask in advance about the rental agreement, deposit, ID checks and what happens if gear is damaged or lost. Terms differ between shops, and some require insurance or a refundable security amount. Read the published agreement, and ask whether overseas travel with the equipment is permitted before booking for a trip.
- Count the full rental period, not just shoot days. Collection, return, charging, testing and weekends all affect cost and availability. Ask whether longer rentals carry a reduced daily rate, and book popular lenses and drones early, since peak periods such as festive seasons, school holidays and wedding season tend to sell out.
- Test before the real shoot. Collect the kit a day early, check batteries, memory cards, firmware and any scratches, and photograph it on collection so condition is documented. For drones, learn the current Singapore flying rules and restricted areas first, and never rely on a shop to clear permissions for you.
