Hi all again,
For reasons I don't need to go into, we now have to hire the sound kit in Beirut and the states.
I've just got a quote for 7 days hire for the below kit (not all of it is for me) which comes in at $7250 US Dollars.
Now the Kit I would have hired in the UK, which was actually more than this in quantity, cost less for the whole duration of the shoot (3 weeks).
Has anyone ever hired kit in Beirut? Is this amount about right?
