Camera and video equipment hire in Malaysia

Updated 11 November 2026

Hiring a camera body in Malaysia costs about RM 240 to RM 350 for one day and RM 440 to RM 660 for two days, approximately, according to rental shops' price lists, October 2026. Cinema packages with a full kit start from RM 1,500 a day. To get a price for the exact body, lens and dates, send your request on BlaBlaPrice, and rental companies in your city reply with their offer.

Local rules and what the shop asks for

Rental shops in Malaysia usually ask for a clear photo of your driving licence or passport before they release the kit. Many also take a deposit: one Klang Valley studio asks for RM 50 to secure the camera and your dates. Ask in writing who pays for damage and whether the rental includes insurance, since the cost of a damaged camera is high.

Weather and season

Malaysia is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of summer and winter. Outdoor shoots depend on the rain, so choose dates in the drier spell if you can, and add a spare day for rain. Indoor work is not affected by the season, so a studio or indoor location is the safer choice in the wet months.

Delivery, pickup and what is included

Ask whether the price includes delivery and pickup between Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, George Town, Johor Bahru and Ipoh, because shops often quote delivery separately. Batteries, memory cards, lights and modifiers add to the total, so list everything you need. Say if you need the kit for a month, because lease terms and monthly rent are priced differently from a day rental.

What to put in the request

Write what you want to hire, the make and model if you know it, the purpose (a wedding, a product video, a documentary), the lease term, and whether you want an operator. Some studios arrange a crew with the kit, and this is priced separately, so say if you need one. Name your city so that the sellers can quote delivery.
