Lachlancampbell Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hey everyone, Does anyone have recommendations for hiring a kit in or near Shenzhen, China? Zaxcom would be amazing, Sound Devices also great. Looking for a recorder/mixer and wireless kits. Cheers, Lachlan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Can't bring it over from Melbourne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to bring gear over, but have heard quite a few stories of people having gear held up in customs for upto a few days. We're only there for 4 days, so can't afford any delays like that. I can easily justify any hire cost having a backup on standby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindrop Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Fixer, any good fixer can smooth your way, including through customs, no problem. Mandarin are very good.http://www.mandarinfilm.com/en/film-production-services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Shenzhen is right on the border with Hong Kong so I would guess that you'd be able to hire from any of several HK hire places (search here for recent examples) and have them deliver into a Shenzhen address saving you the hassle. As well as Mandarin Films pindrop mentions you could give Mark Roberts a call too - a HK based mixer who also facilitates shoots in HK, China and the region.

yizhye20 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I believe you can find some on an app call XIANYU 闲鱼, I do see some renting services on it. Some even come with a recording assistant. Let me know if you need further info. I was raised and born in Shenzhen and been in China for about 17 years before I came to the state.
