Matt was very quick to respond and was able to help me come up with a kit solution in a last minute pinch. Very communicative and thorough. This kit covers so much ground for an indie film maker, documentarian, or web content.

Matt was a pleasure to rent from, he made my first rental a breeze and worked with me when need be. He was very professional, yet still casual. Would definitely rent from him again in the future.
