“It seems that every rental house claims to have the best equipment and service. Obviously, everyone can’t be the best. So we’ll just let the facts speak for themselves, and let our customers do the talking. ” —Denny Clairmont “When you deal with a company for ten-plus years I believe you really get to know their heart and soul. At Clairmont, you have a technical whiz like Denny, who is absolutely relentless when it comes to making sure equipment works at peak efficiency.” “Clairmont has done an amazing job of supporting me every step of the way. In my last project we basically used every type of camera in their inventory. Everything performed flawlessly under every condition imaginable. With all of the variables in moviemaking, one thing is a welcome constant: Clairmont quality and service.” Tami Reiker, ASC “I had a very good experience the first time I used Clairmont, and the ACs all wanted to go there, knowing they would be looked after. After working with their L.A. and Vancouver offices I can honestly say that Clairmont makes my job easier because I don’t have to worry about the quality of the equipment.” Clark Mathis, ASC “It’s not just about renting camera equipment from any rental house, but Clairmont Camera’s commitment and involvement in tailoring the equipment to your individual needs and finding solutions to your problems.” Edward Lachman, ASC Simon Duggan, ACS “With some rental houses you simply rent equipment. With Clairmont Camera you’re really renting the whole building. It’s the people who make the difference. It all adds up as to why Clairmont Camera is more of a comfortable home than a sterile rental house.” “I can trust that everything has been serviced in a manner that is unmatched. I have been on shoots where production chose what turned out to be poorly maintained equipment from other sources, which failed, and the down time lost on the set with the entire crew standing around cost them more than what they’d hoped to save on the lesser cost rental.” Checco Varese, a.m.c.
