Camera and video equipment hire in the Philippines

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites in November 2026, camera hire in the Philippines starts at about ₱170 to ₱349 a day. A package with gear and one or two assistants for 8 hours costs about ₱5,500 to ₱11,000. The quickest way to get current prices for your shoot is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rental terms to read

Some rental terms say charges apply even when the equipment is not used, and one provider's terms mention a maximum of 16 consecutive hours. Ask about partial use, late returns and daily maximums before you book. If the shoot involves aerial equipment, ask whether the company is CAAP-licensed, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. Some film equipment renters also require a free online membership before hire.

Season and weather

The climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Plan outdoor shoots for the dry months and keep an indoor option for the wet season. Heat and humidity are hard on batteries and memory cards, so ask for spares to be included.

What is included and how it is delivered

Many camera rentals include a battery, SD card, charger and camera bag, so check the list before you book. Some companies offer free delivery; confirm the area, which may be Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati, and the delivery time. Rates are per day, per package or per hour with an assistant, so compare the same period.

What to write in your request

Name what you want to hire, with the make and model if you know them, and what should be included, such as lenses, lighting or a tripod. Say the purpose of the shoot, the hire period in hours or days, and whether you need an operator. Add your delivery address or city, a deposit you can leave, and the monthly rate if the hire is long.

Requests on BlaBlaPrice are free for buyers. You describe the shoot in the chat, with a photo if it helps. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the Philippines, and shows the prices it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact. Start in the request field, or browse rentals and hire.
