Camera Hire
Camera & Lens Hire
Try before you buy, cover a one-off job, or get the right gear for a trip, wedding or weekend shoot — without the commitment of buying. Every item below is available to hire directly from Ted’s, backed by 50+ years of expert advice and Australia’s largest range of camera gear.
Why hire with Ted’s?
- Try before you buy. Not sure a camera or lens is right for you? Hire it first.
- Put your hire cost toward a purchase. Hire for more than 48 hours and fall in love with the gear? We’ll credit part of your hire fee back if you decide to buy it.*
- A free Camera Basics Class is included for hire customers — ideal if you’re new to a camera or lens and want to get the most out of it before you shoot.
- Real, expert advice. Our staff know this gear inside out and can help you pick the right kit for the job.
*Credit valued at 2 days of the hire fee. Applies to hires of more than 48 hours. See full terms below.
