Cameras at PSL
Parasol Island (PSL) provides you with camera equipment to ease in-house photo- and video-shoots.
Everyone at PSL can "rent" and use these cameras for their projects.
Camera Rent
Instead of a centralized "rental-station" we have a decentralized system: each camera is guarded and maintained by a "godfather".
No, not a mafia boss, but instead someone who often uses the camera and thus takes good care of it.
Each camera comes packed in a "ready-to-use"-bag with all the typically needed accessories such as lenses, memory-cards and cleaning-kit.
Just go and ask the godfather if you need a camera for your project. Please plan well in advance to allow for proper scheduling.

Policy
Please handle with care. Please treat it better than you'd treat your own camera. Try to minimize dust in the camera, smear on the lens and wear on the body.
Keep batteries charged. Remove your data from the memory-cards right after use, as cards will be formatted before each new use.
Always return the kit back to its godfather a) complete and b) ready to use for the next shoot.
Thank you!
