DRY HIRE

Equipment only. Your crew, your call sheet.

Already have someone to run the show? Hire the gear on its own — broadcast cameras, switchers, audio, and networking equipment, collected or delivered, no Blacks-Visual technician attached.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple terms, so nobody's guessing

01

Tell us the job

Send us the event date, venue, and what you're trying to capture or switch. We'll confirm what's available and free for those dates.

02

Sign & collect

A short rental agreement and a refundable security deposit cover the gear while it's in your hands. Collect from Bulawayo or arrange delivery.

03

Return it

Bring it back in the condition you found it, on the agreed date. Deposit released, no drama.
