Production Supply Rentals
The gear that runs the set around the camera: walkies and headsets, pop-up tents, teleprompters, projectors, monitors for video village, directors chairs, and the carts that move all of it. Available daily from NYC, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, charged, labeled, and ready to deploy at call time.
Nothing down here but keywords doing push-ups.
Production Supplies: the Department That Keeps the Day Moving
None of this gear shows up on screen, and all of it shows up in whether you make the day. Producers order this list; everyone else just assumes it appears.
What production gear does every set need?
Walkies for department heads plus spares, a pop-up tent for video village or shade, folding tables and chairs, coolers, and power strips with extension to feed the laptops nobody mentioned. On exteriors, double the tents and add weights; a tent without ballast is a kite with a schedule.
How many walkies do I need?
One per department head, one per PA, plus twenty percent spares with charged batteries staged at the cart. Headsets for anyone near rolling sound. Surveillance-style earpieces keep channel chatter off the soundtrack, and a multi-bank charger turns lunch into a recharge cycle instead of an argument about whose battery died.
Teleprompter or cue cards?
Prompter, if the talent is reading more than a few lines, and rent the operator’s advice along with it: text size and scroll speed sink more executive testimonials than nerves do. Our prompter kits ship with the rig, glass, software, and a stand that fits over most camera builds. Tell us your lens so the hood fits, not fights.
What does production gear cost?
Walkies run a few dollars a day each with accessories. Tents, tables, and chairs rent for less than the coffee budget. Prompter and playback packages range $100 to $300 a day. It’s the least glamorous money a production spends and the most reliably worth it.
Small department, strong opinions
Walkie batteries leave here charged and cycled, with the tired ones retired before they embarrass anyone. Tents go out with stakes and weights both, because locations change. And every cart rolls out with its wheels checked, since a cart that pulls left all day is a tiny tax on every single person pushing it. Pair this list with expendables and enough power and stingers to feed the village. The rest lives in the catalog, or skip ahead and send us your one-liner schedule; we’ve packed for worse.
