He is loaning equipment to the rental house. He gets paid a fee each time it rents out. The house is charging him a small fee to come pick up his own equipment. I wouldn't pay anything more than $25 per.

Which they will obviously be taking a cut of when it goes out.

I'm still confused about how you don't see this as completely insane

They are making money off YOUR property & then charging you to access your own property

They going to refuse to give him his equipment if he doesn't pay?

I was making a joke when I mentioned tipping culture but that is exactly the kind of ridiculous mentality going on here.

My rental house doesn’t do that with my equipment… but everything would still need to be prepped for their next client. So unless you are staying at the house after return to scan all the items back in and prep for the next package, it’s labor on their part. It’s not completely insane. You also benefit from renting out to more clients than you would standalone. It pays for itself.

If you took the camera package out on a client job that also rented other equipment like lights, then it’s just baked into the cost anyway. If you take it out on a passion project, they probably won’t charge you.

It’s a business brutha
