Who we are

MV Camera Hire is the trading name of Mannys Vantage Ltd, an independent hire company based in London, close to the centre. We hire Sony and Canon cinema and mirrorless cameras, G Master, RF, Cooke and anamorphic lenses, Aputure and Amaran lighting, wireless audio, DJI drones and the support kit that goes with them — to filmmakers, photographers, students and production companies.

Before the company, the same kit was hired for years through the Hygglo marketplace, which is where most of our track record lives.

How we work

Every item is tested, cleaned and charged before it goes out, and handed over with the batteries, cards and cases listed on its page. At hand-over we photograph the exact units you receive; those photos sit in your account, so both sides have a record of the condition it left in.

You send a request from the shop — nothing is charged until we confirm. We invoice with a secure payment link, verify your ID once and take a digital signature on the hire agreement, and then you collect from us in London or we deliver across the city. Same-day collection is normally possible when the kit shows as available.

What you get that a marketplace cannot give you

One owner who knows every item, a single point of contact during the shoot, matched sets rather than whatever happened to be listed, and kit that was checked by the person handing it to you. If something fails, you call us and we fix it — swap, refund or advice — rather than open a ticket.
