Renting gear in Greece?

[Cory Kaseman]

There's a good chance that I'll be heading off to Greece for a few weeks this fall for a reality shoot.  I was told we'll be shooting in and around the Ionian islands and wondering if anyone could suggest a place to rent sound gear.

Mixer, boom with mic, 2-3 radios.  Preferably some place that has waterproof transmitters available as we'll be on the water nearly the whole shoot.  I don't think anyone will be IN the water, but I'd rather be safe about it.

Here's a bunch of places:

Eric,

You are the search master.  It must be said.

Eric,

You are the search master.  It must be said.

Robert

Thanks for the compliment Robert but it's really not that difficult. All I did was enter "audio rentals-greece" in Google and there were lots of choices. For the OP, there are links to European dealers on many of the equipment makers websites like Sound Devices, Sennheiser, Lectrosonics, etc that could lead you to specialized sources. If all else fails call a manufacturer and ask for a lead in Greece.

Eric

[Jim Gilchrist]

Try the Hellenic Film Commission Office.

Best regards,

<<call a manufacturer>>

Hah!

Greetings to every one

Being based in Greece and operating mainly in Greece I can assure you that not even a single

company or service listed here will be able to supply you any audio equipment.

Unfortunately there is not a single rental house providing audio equipment in Greece.

You will only be able to find camera rental packages and light rental packages.

From all the companies listed by Eric,only Greg Moshos is renting out equipment

and this is strictly lights .

All other companies do not rent a single audio mic and some of them are not even working any more.

I know every single rental house and in the best case scenario you will be able

to find a 302 mixer if you are lucky, G2 radios and a 416 shotgun.

This is as good as it gets . The only way you will be able to find professional

equipment is from individual mixers and it will still be difficult to rent out from

them since mixers do not have an ever growing list of kit, meaning that if they

will rent out, they won't be able to book the next available gig.

Lectrosonics is not even represented by any dealer here and the Sound

Devices agent would not be able to let you know where to go in order to rent

as he is mainly supplying music equipment.

I will be more than happy to provide any form of assistance to anyone

making it over to Greece for a shoot.

Kindest Regards

        Aris

" You are the search master. "

I get students who do their homework like that...

" not even a single company or service listed here will be able to supply you any audio equipment. "

" <<call a manufacturer>> "

well, they could tell you who the nearest dealers are... and which ones even keep stuff in stock, or rent...and that might be a start...
