After looking at our equipment rental list, the first thing that you will need to do is to fill up our equipment rental form (https://bit.ly/studiomyriadrentalform).

Do you require a deposit?
You’ll be required to pay a fully refundable deposit based on the total value of the equipment rented. In most cases, it will be a $50 deposit that will be refunded once all equipment is returned. For mid to large scale rental, a $100-$200 deposit might be required.
