darrin p nim Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi guys, Im shooting a music video in/around San Francisco in the next 2.5 weeks and i need to find a quiet 500amp generator with camlock for a good price. Right now we're looking at Cresco Equipment Rentals and theyve quoted us at 662-690 and thats w/o tax for the weekend. I need to find a competitive price or a weekend rate through another company and was hoping maybe some of you guys from the Bay area could could help me out, if you can i would be very greatful! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Bowerbank Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 http://www.dtcgrip.com/ Looks like they have a daily rate of $500, but they might be able to swing you a weekend deal. Worth a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Bowerbank Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 hey thanks guys, dtc wont do a weekend rate... This is an example of why DTC probably isn't going to last very long here in the Bay Area. They're priced a little high, and try to pull the "We're the biggest rental house in the area, so we can charge more" card. The condition of their Kinoflo's is kind of a joke as I saw upon a visit to their facilities once. Otherwise, they're good at least for the few things you absolutely CAN NOT get elsewhere.

They're priced a little high, and try to pull the "We're the biggest rental house in the area, so we can charge more" card. Well, they are a bit snooty. On one shoot, we rented a Fisher 10 dolly from them and the AC who went to pick it up (don't ask) made the mistake of asking them if they would show him how the equipment worked. They're reply: "if you don't know how to use one, we're not renting it to you!" To which he replied, "uh, our dolly grip knows how to use it." And they didn't include the Mitchell to 100mm ball adapter which we needed, so we had to get that from Utterbach. You should have heard the discussion that went on about whether or not to get the adapter, or to just wing it with a bunch of washers! WTF :ph34r: That was a fun shoot.
