Frequently Asked Questions

Our rental process is refreshingly simple: browse our catalog, select your desired gear, choose your rental period, and complete the reservation online. Upon approval, you'll receive confirmation with pickup details. Present your ID and payment method when collecting your equipment, and we'll guide you through a quick orientation. Return everything by the agreed date, and that's it – no hidden complexities, just creative tools in your hands when you need them.

We maintain a treasure trove of photographic possibilities – from cutting-edge DSLR and mirrorless cameras by Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm to a spectrum of lenses spanning ultra-wide to super-telephoto. Our inventory includes prime lenses for those crisp portraits, macro lenses for the miniature worlds, and specialized tilt-shift options for architectural perfection. We also offer tripods, gimbals, filters, flashes, and those hard-to-justify-buying specialty items that transform good shots into unforgettable images.

Yes, we bring creativity directly to your doorstep! Our delivery service covers the entire metropolitan area for a nominal fee based on distance. For productions requiring extensive equipment or multi-day rentals, we offer special delivery rates. Simply select the delivery option during checkout, specify your location and preferred time window, and our team will handle the logistics while you focus on your creative vision. For urgent requests, we also provide express delivery options at additional rates.

We understand that even the most careful creators encounter mishaps. If equipment sustains damage during your rental period, please inform us immediately. We assess each situation individually, distinguishing between normal wear and actual damage. For minor issues, there may be no additional charges. For significant damage, you're responsible for repair costs up to the insurance deductible amount. We highly recommend our affordable damage waiver program, which significantly reduces your liability. Remember, honesty and prompt reporting always work in your favor!

Absolutely! Creative inspiration doesn't always follow schedules. To extend your rental, simply contact us at least 24 hours before your originally scheduled return time. Extensions are granted based on availability, as we may have reservations lined up. If your desired equipment isn't booked, we're happy to extend your creative timeline at our standard rates. For last-minute extension requests (less than 24 hours notice), a small convenience fee applies. The simplest solution: plan ahead when possible, but know we'll accommodate you when creativity demands more time.

Our lighting arsenal transforms darkness into opportunity. We offer everything from portable LED panels that fit in a backpack to cinema-grade HMI systems that can light entire scenes. Our collection includes Profoto and Godox flash systems, Aputure and Arri continuous lights, softboxes, umbrellas, reflectors, diffusers, colored gels, and specialized modifiers for creative effects. Whether you need daylight balance for a commercial shoot, moody rim lighting for portraits, or dramatic uplighting for events, we provide the tools to sculpt light precisely to your vision.

We reward creative commitment! Our loyalty program offers escalating benefits the more you rent with us. For week-long rentals, you'll receive a 15% discount compared to daily rates. Monthly rentals unlock a substantial 40% savings. Production companies and frequent renters can apply for our VIP program, featuring priority reservations, dedicated support, and custom pricing packages. Educational institutions and non-profit organizations qualify for special rates on specific equipment. For unique projects requiring extensive gear over extended periods, we're always open to crafting custom rental agreements.

To ensure equipment safety while keeping bureaucracy minimal, we require a valid government-issued photo ID, proof of address (utility bill or similar dated within 3 months), and a credit card for the security deposit. For high-value equipment exceeding $5,000, we also require proof of insurance coverage. First-time renters complete a brief registration form. Professional credentials or portfolio links aren't mandatory but can expedite approval for specialized equipment. Business clients should provide company details and authorization letter if the renter isn't the account holder.

Our Imaging Journey

Where creativity meets technology in the hands of visual storytellers

The Saholyu Story

Born from a whispered conversation between two photography enthusiasts on a rain-soaked evening, Saholyu emerged as the answer to a shared frustration: quality equipment shouldn't be the privilege of the wealthy few. What began as a modest collection of cameras and lights in a converted garage has blossomed into Moscow's premier destination for photographers and videographers seeking to elevate their craft without emptying their wallets.

Our name, Saholyu, derives from an ancient word meaning "to capture light" – the very essence of what our equipment enables creators to do. With each piece of gear we add to our inventory, we're not just expanding a rental catalog; we're extending the reach of visual storytellers across the city.

Our Mission & Values

At Saholyu, we believe that creative vision shouldn't be limited by equipment access. We exist to democratize professional imaging tools, placing cinema-grade cameras, precision lenses, and studio lighting within reach of every passionate creator. Our commitment extends beyond mere equipment rental – we're building a community where technical knowledge flows freely and creative boundaries dissolve.

Our core values shine through every interaction:

Accessibility - Breaking down barriers between creators and professional tools
Excellence - Maintaining our equipment with the meticulous care of collectors
Education - Ensuring every client knows how to maximize their rented gear
Community - Fostering connections among visual artists across disciplines
