Hillward Rent · Munich
Camera, lighting & grip.Rental in Munich.
Munich is an important location for film and television. Whether you need just a camera or a full package with lighting and grip, film equipment rental in Munich starts with one list you put together with us, from a template or as an upload. We request everything from rental houses on location and send you one quote. Productions from abroad can do all of it in English.
How it works
- 01
Build your list
Pick gear from templates and our catalogue. Or upload the list you already have, Excel, PDF or a photo.
- 02
We take care of it
We check your list with a lighting crew’s eye and confirm availability with rental houses on location.
- 03
One quote
You get one quote from us: every item, delivery and pick-up, one point of contact.
- 04
Delivery or pick-up
The rental house delivers to set at the agreed time, or you collect it yourself. After the shoot everything goes back.
From TV shoots to commercials
For TV productions, short films and commercials, we request camera, lenses, lighting, grip and sound from rental houses in Munich. Hillward itself is a lighting crew for film and commercials. Our crew’s references include Vaillant’s TV commercial “The Sign” (2023), L’Oréal Men Expert x NFL and Bayer 04 Leverkusen x Thrive, more at hillward.de.
Over several shooting days
Shooting in Munich over several days? Enter delivery and collection in your request and, if you like, the number of shooting days. We ask the rental houses for exactly that period, and the quote shows you what’s available for it.
Lighting for exteriors
Exterior shoots often need more than lights: butterfly frames with rags, sandbags and, if there’s no power at the location, a generator. As gaffers we keep that in mind when we take your list to rental houses in Munich.

FAQ
What if the shooting schedule changes?+
Just reply to the email about your request, and we sort out the new dates with the rental houses on location. Nothing is booked until you’ve confirmed the quote.
How does the return work after the shoot?+
With delivery, the rental house collects the gear at the agreed time, and the cost of that is in the quote. If you picked it up yourself, you bring it back to the rental house after the shoot.
Are there templates for a studio shoot?+
Yes, for studio and location, each small or large, with lighting, light shaping, grip and power. A template is just a starting point: you add camera, sound or your own items afterwards.
What does a request cost?+
Nothing. Requests are free and non-binding. You get a quote with every item before anything is booked.
How fast will I get a quote?+
At short notice. How fast exactly depends on the rental houses’ answers. We get back to you as soon as we can.
I already have a finished list.+
Just upload it, as Excel, PDF, Word file or photos, several files are fine. No need to retype anything.
Do you deliver or do I pick up?+
Both work. The rental houses on location deliver to set and collect after the shoot, or you pick up at the rental house yourself. We agree the times with you.
How is the equipment insured?+
The equipment has to be insured for the rental period. We sort out how with you in the quote.
Do you also provide crew?+
Hillward is a lighting crew for film and commercials. If you need gaffers or grips, just say so in the notes.
