What Lighting Gear Comes with a Loft Rental

Camera bodies and lenses arranged on a dark surface

Every loft rental comes with a core lighting kit, and most productions never need more. Here is what is on the floor when you arrive.

Three studio strobes with standard reflectors, two large softboxes, a beauty dish and a strip box cover the usual portrait and product setups.

Grip includes C-stands, sandbags, flags, a boom arm and rolling stands, so light can be shaped and moved without improvising.

Continuous LED panels are available for video and for hybrid shoots where a creator needs both stills and clips from the same set.

Backdrops: a set of seamless paper rolls, a grey muslin and the white cove itself. Special colors can be ordered with a few days' notice.
