MP&E + GEAR Cameras and Lighting - 4822 E. Cesar Chavez 512-485-3131
The guys at MP&E/GEAR have been in the game a long time and are extremely knowledgeable about all their equipment. They also are helpful with advice and last-minute needs. Can’t say enough good things about this company and the quality equipment they are able to provide.

MPS Studios has been a staple in Austin and Dallas for a long time. They know their equipment and are extremely helpful with all rental needs. From vehicles to camera equipment, they most likely have what you need.
Precision Camera & Video - 2438 W. Anderson Ln 512-467-7676
Precision has been an Austin staple forever it seems. The owner moved from the UK and fell in love with Austin, fulfilling a photography niche that was much needed in the local community. They sell and rent equipment, and are always willing to lend a helping hand. Wonderful local company!
Austin is rapidly growing as a city and a film community, it’s important to support local businesses and foster the intimate community we’ve known and loved for so long.
