Rodney was great and would be happy to work with him again.

Amazing renter. Great working with Rodney and looking forward to working with him again very soon. He provided great service and communications during the entire rental.

Rodney was extremely accommodating. He let me pickup the gear after hours and return to a different location. He even walked me through how to operate the teleprompter. Would rent from him again in a heartbeat.

Rodney's a great owner who takes care of his gear. Will certainly rent from him in the future.

The rental with Rodney was breezy. He had everything we could need and even printed and laminated instruction sheets. He came half way and dropped and picked up the stuff as well. Professional and easy to work with!

Quick response and flexible scheduling on a last minute rental. Ronin worked perfectly.

Perfectly handled rental. Worked with my schedule, gear was in great order, really saved the day!

Worked like a charm!

Easy rental. Rod was very helpful and his Ronin worked perfectly for us.
