Becky's a creator working from her Brooklyn home studio, and her partner Smokey is a cinematographer in TV and film. Together they love renting out their best gear to fellow local creatives. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! We're BIPOC- and queer-friendly.

We have a Panasonic GH5s and a bunch of micro four thirds lenses, which also fit on our DJI Osmo x5R, which comes fully kitted including a CrystalSky monitor.

Our Litemats are incredibly versatile and lightweight LED panels with adjustable color-temp, and come with c-stands and shot bags.

For audio, we've got a Sennheiser wireless lavalier kit and a Rode VideoMic Pro.

Consider us your one-stop shop for lightweight productions like interviews, web videos, and tabletop product videography.

We're also both available for hire!

Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II POWER O.I.S. Lens

"A versatile zoom covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives, the Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, where it provides a convenient 24-70mm equivalent focal length range. A constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range, and benefits working in difficult lighting conditions as well as enables greater control over depth of field. The sophisticated optical design employs a series of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index glass elements to control a variety of aberrations and distortions for sharp, clean image quality and a Nano Surface Coating has also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare. A POWER Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake to suit handheld shooting, and this O.I.S. system is also compatible with Dual I.S. for enhanced stabilization performance. Additionally, the lens also features a durable all-metal housing that is dust, splash, and freezeproof to enable its use in harsh climates." Includes: filter kit (UV, circular polarizer, ND) lens cap back cover sun shade lens bag (if rented without a camera)

Becky and Smokey made pickup-return super easy, and were promptly available for questions during rental. Excellently maintained package, thanks guys!

They were great! Easy to rent and very helpful! Def. coming back!

Renting gear from them went great. If you're driving to pick up gear then there's pretty easy parking around the area just not in front, unless you're willing to pay for meters. The gear was in great condition and had a pelican case to protect it. Everything was organized when received and was easy to locate during a shoot. 100% would rent from them again.

Becky and Smokey were great! It was easy to schedule pick up and drop off and they should me how to use the equipment when I picked it up.

Easy and professional pickup and dropoff, clear and polite coordination. Equipment was in great condition and neatly labeled and wrapped. Was a pleasure to rent from Becky and Smokey. Thanks guys!

Excellent communication. Very easy rental, would definitely rent from here again!

Becky and Smokey were lifesavers for this rental! our original gear malfunctioned and they rented theirs to us so quickly and easily!

Easy and accommodating, would absolutely rent from them again. Everything worked great.

The gear was in great shape and Becky worked with me to make my pick-up and drop-off convenient. I'd rent from them again!

Second time renting from Becky and yet again everything went perfectly. Great gear in pristine condition and very simple process. Thanks!

Everything I rented from Becky- camera, lenses and a mic- was in pristine condition; the kit was neatly packed, batteries charged, cards cleaned etc when I picked and the equipment is exactly as described. Becky was wonderful to deal with and I'll be renting again from her again soon.

Becky and Smokey were knowledgeable, available, and friendly to boot!

Easy to find, they were awesome!!

Becky & Smokey are RAD... and the mic was flawless. Will rent from them again.

Camera works perfectly, the batteries and SD cards that come with the camera save me both money and time (from renting them separately), and Becky & Smokey are super nice!

First time renting on KitSplit. Becky is great! She went through all the gear and ran through how everything worked. Her DJI Osmo kit includes a lot (batteries, mobile extender, sd cards, etc).

Becky was an absolute pleasure to work with! Took the time to explain the equipment in great detail and was super friendly and accommodating. Will definitely rent from Becky again. Thanks!!

Great! Super easy pick up and return. Becky is awesome!

Once again, totally awesome rental! Easy going, friendly and communicative!! I highly recommend renting from @bekathwia!!

Camera is in good condition. Lots of batteries and accessories come with it. Thanks!

Easy to work with, easy communication, gear in good shape. Thanks again!

Never ended up needing the gear, but she was super responsive and helpful.

Lights are in good shape. Will rent again!

Becky is totally awesome and was great to rent from!!! Planning on renting from her again A LOT! Thanks!!!

Equipment was in perfect condition and the pick up/drop off was smooth as 1,2,3!

Becky was really great throughout the process! Very quick responses, helpful, and extremely friendly. Took the time to explain the camera and how to operate it. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to rent on Kitsplit.

Mic worked great, and Rebecca was easy to schedule with, flexible about pick-up and drop-off, and a super lovely person all around. Would definitely rent from her again.
