"Scouty is our go-to location platform for all shoots, no matter how big or small. Their platform makes finding the right space incredibly easy, with a wide range of high-quality locations to suit any brief. They’re competitive, simple to use, and best of all, they’re constantly adding unique locations."

Ben Jones
"Scouty is the best tool for sourcing really specific locations, especially when we're on a tight time frame. Plus the website is so easy to use and love seeing the costs up front."

Meredith Watt
"Scouty has become an essential part of our pre-production process. Finding the right location used to eat up hours, and not knowing the price upfront was a real pain. Now it's one of the easiest parts of the job. The platform is intuitive, the AI integration is super useful, the location library is genuinely impressive, and the team are always on hand if we need anything. Highly recommend it to any production company."

Hiring equipment requires as much planning as finding your location. Getting the right kit for your brief, confirming compatibility, and sorting logistics in advance will save you significant stress on shoot day.
Before booking, check that hired equipment works with what your crew is already bringing. Camera bodies, lens mounts, battery systems, and audio connections all have compatibility requirements. A quick check now saves a problem on the day.
Popular equipment, particularly high-end cameras, specialist lenses, and large lighting rigs, gets booked out quickly around peak production periods. If you have confirmed shoot dates, lock in your equipment hire as early as possible.
Most equipment owners require proof of hire insurance before confirming a booking. If your production doesn't have existing cover, arrange this in advance. Don't leave it to the day before.
Factor in setup and testing time when booking your hire window. Equipment that arrives the morning of the shoot leaves no time to identify issues. Where possible, arrange delivery the day before so you can test everything in advance.
Run through all hired equipment before the shoot starts. Check batteries are charged, connections work, and settings are as expected. Identify and resolve any issues before the shoot is underway.
Excellent service and support that truly exceeded my expectations.
