Cinema and stills camera hire in Stoke Newington, N16. Sony FX3, FX6, FX9, RED, ARRI Alexa Mini, Blackmagic and more, with live day rates.
Yellow Cactus is a film and photography rental house in Stoke Newington, North East London. Our camera shelf covers most jobs we get asked about, from a one-person documentary shoot to a music video with a full camera team.
On the cinema side there's the Sony FX line (FX3, FX6 and FX9), RED Komodo 6K and V-Raptor X, ARRI Alexa Mini and Alexa Mini LF, Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K, Freefly Ember S5K for high-speed work, and Blackmagic Pocket 6K bodies for lighter setups. For stills and hybrid shooters we've got the Canon EOS R5 and R8, Sony A7S III and Nikon ZR.
Two things crews come to us for in particular: the RED V-Raptor X, with its 8K VV global shutter (we're one of the few London rental houses with one), and the DZO Arles Lustre primes, with their warm amber flares. For the rest of our glass, see the lens hire page, including our anamorphic lens sets.
We also keep a few odd ones that come in handy: 360 cameras (Insta360 X4 and X5), GoPro Hero 13, DJI Osmo Pocket 3, a DJI Mini 4 Pro drone, a thermal camera, and some proper retro kit for texture, including Mini DV camcorders and a Canon Super 8.
Every camera below shows its current day rate, and the weekly rate is listed on each product page. Click through to see what comes in the kit, then add it to your order. If you need lenses, media, batteries, monitoring or wireless video to go with it, it's all on the same site, so you can build the whole package in one go.
How it works: register a production account first (it only takes a few minutes and we need it before your first hire), then send your order through the site. We'll confirm availability and get back to you. Kit is collected from and returned to our counter at Unit H1, 2 Leswin Place, London N16 7NJ, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.
