HOW DOES THE FREE 48-HOUR TRIAL WORK?

Try The Kit is fully backed by leading manufacturers like Canon, FUJIFILM, and Lumix. You can order any featured piece of equipment for a 48-hour trial period with zero rental fees. We deliver directly to your door or your chosen Click&Collect point for free—you only place a fully-refundable security deposit during checkout.

DO YOU OFFER CLICK & COLLECT FOR TRIALS?

Yes! We provide convenient Click&Collect options across more than 25 designated collection points throughout the UK. You can select your preferred pickup and drop-off point during the reservation process.

WHEN IS MY SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUNDED?

Once your trial concludes and the kit is returned to our service hub, our technicians perform a quick verification check. Your security deposit is then released back to your original payment method immediately.

WHAT IF I NEED THE EQUIPMENT FOR A LONGER SHOOT?

While Try The Kit specializes in 48-hour manufacturer trials, our official sister company Hireacamera handles long-term hires, production packages, and extensive cinema gear rentals with flexible multi-week options.

FROM TRIAL TO PROFESSIONAL HIRE MEET OUR SISTER SERVICE HIREACAMERA

Try The Kit is your gateway to manufacturer-backed testing, but when your project demands more, our sister service Hireacamera is ready to step in. As one of the UK’s most trusted rental houses, Hireacamera offers a significantly more extensive inventory—from specialist cinema glass and lighting rigs to high-end production accessories. While Try The Kit is perfect for a 48-hour test drive of the latest tech, Hireacamera is built for the "long haul," offering flexible rental periods for multi-week shoots and deep volume discounts. If you’ve finished your trial and are ready to staff a full production, or if you simply need a niche piece of kit not found in our trial range, Hireacamera provides the professional scale and logistical support to power your entire creative workflow.
