Lighting and Camera Rental

  • Red Star/ Cinequipt

    About

    “The original Red Star location in Madison, Wisconsin is where we got our start, but our culture comes from the people and companies that make up our history. Over the years, we’ve joined lighting and grip companies like The Washington Source for Lighting in Washington, D.C. and Location Lighting in Philadelphia. We’ve joined camera rental experts from Charmcine, Capital Camera, Videosmith, and Liberty Camera. And we acquired Cinequipt, an all-in-one camera, lighting, and grip rental and sales company that’s operated in Minneapolis for more than 50 years. We’re proud to be part of a legacy of making films, television, commercials, and entertainment across the Midwest and East Coast.”
