Very honest and affordable
Very honest and significantly more affordable than most equipment rental places in the Manhattan area. Highly recommend.
Non-profit promotional video
We are a non-profit organization and we received a donation discount from CSI rentals. They have been so helpful to us and very accommodating.
We got 2 lead panels from them and they were in great quality and in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend this place for film equipment. They are amazing!!!
Very easy to rent from
Very easy to rent from, always seem to get in and out of the store in about five minutes flat and they’re always flexible and accommodating with updating or modifying orders.

This was my first time renting lighting…
This was my first time renting lighting equipment, and what I ordered online wasn't what I was expecting. But, the friendly staff gave me their recommendations and set me up with everything I needed.
All worked out smooth!
Professional... with a smile
I have rented Canon lenses (and some lights) from them many times. The equipment has always been in good working condition, ready when I arrived, and given to me with a smile. Their website works great, but they are easy to get a hold of on the phone when I've needed.

Super friendly and efficient service. I recommend CSI completely.

I've only had positive experiences…
I've only had positive experiences ordering from CSi Rentals. Their service is straightforward and accessible. Their equipment is sound and reliable. The hairiness of film production is made much less complicated with CSi, and I intend to continue renting from them on my projects moving forward.
Equipment didn't work properly
The store experience was amazing. But once I got to the photo shoot, the equipment didn't work. I was sure that the equipment is tested before, I didn't know that I have to test the equipment before (which doesn't really make sense, I think it's kinda unprofessional) I didn't have much use of the equipment at the end and the day way a mess, I couldn't get the job done which resulted to a huge loss in my end.
