Thanks for renting gear from us!
All of the gear listed on our site is owned and regularly used by our team at Cold Box Films. The best way to ensure gear is not broken or lost is knowing how to use it the right way.
Here are some helpful tutorial videos we created to help you.
How to Assemble/Use The Backdrop System
Important Notes for You:
The backdrop system comes with 4 sandbags (the 2 larger ones go on each stand, the 2 smaller ones are set on the seamless paper so it doesn’t roll back on you).
Always avoid walking on seamless paper with your shoes (otherwise, the paper gets covered in dirty footprints).
Always roll seamless paper up neatly (otherwise it becomes ripped and damaged).
How to Assemble/Use the Aputure Lights
Important Notes for You:
The Aputure Lights have MANY different pieces/parts. It’s critical you DO NOT lose them and that everything gets packaged up properly. We even recommend taking a photo with your smartphone prior to unpacking it so you know where everything goes. *Renters will incur additional fees for lost or damaged items.
Always place a sandbag on the largest leg of the C-stand (this ensures the light does not fall over if bumped).
How to Use/Assemble the 6x6 Frame
Important Notes for You:
Always be sure the frame is securely clamped and all nobs are tightened properly.
When you’re done with rental gear, please pack it up and return it to the spot you originally found it.
