Renting camera gear in Singapore: how it works and what to expect

New to renting camera gear in Singapore? Here is exactly how the process works, from picking your kit to collection and return.

How does camera rental work in Singapore?

Renting camera gear in Singapore is simple: you choose your camera, lenses and accessories, pick your rental dates, and confirm the booking with the rental shop. At Arkework Studio there is no online checkout. You build a request list on this site, send it to us on WhatsApp, and we reply with availability and the exact price for your dates.

What does it cost to rent a camera in Singapore?

Every listing on our site shows its 1-day rate, so you can compare gear at a glance. Longer rentals cost less per day, so the exact total depends on your dates. Message us on WhatsApp with your request list and we will send you an exact quote before you commit to anything.

What do I need to rent camera gear?

You need a refundable deposit, paid by PayNow or Wise, or a $0 credit card-on-file authorisation. The deposit is returned in full when the gear comes back in good condition. That is it. No membership, no paperwork beyond a quick confirmation.

When do I collect and return the gear?

Collect your gear during our collection window the day before your shoot, and return it during our return window the day after your last rental day. We'll confirm the exact times with you on WhatsApp. This means a one-day rental actually gives you a full day of shooting plus time the day before to set up and test everything.

Can I get help choosing the right gear?

Yes. If you are not sure which camera or lens fits your shoot, use the Help me choose form on our contact page. Tell us your budget and what you are shooting, and we will recommend a setup. We would rather you rent the right gear than the most expensive gear.

Popular first rentals

If you are not sure where to start, the Sony A7 IV with the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II covers almost any shoot. For travel or casual use, the Fujifilm X100VI and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 are easy, compact favourites.

How do I rent a camera in Singapore?

Browse arkework.com/rent, add the items you need to your request list, and tap Send via WhatsApp. Arkework confirms availability, the price for your dates and a collection timeslot.

Is a deposit needed to rent camera gear?

Yes. Arkework uses a refundable PayNow or Wise deposit, or a $0 deposit with a card on file.

Are multi-day camera rentals cheaper?

Yes. Weekend, multi-day and weekly rentals cost less per day than the 1-day rate. The exact quote is given on WhatsApp.
