CSI had what I needed and even gave me a call to make sure what i ordered would accomplish what I needed it to. Delivery was prompt and pro. Same with pick up.

CSI has top notch equipment and very reasonable prices.

I was prepared for the worst based on my experiences with other rental houses in Manhattan but these guys couldn't have been easier or more helpful to deal with. All the equipment came in good shape, on time, with no hassle and even better - no attitude. I'm definitely going to use them again.
By Joel
CSI always has the latest gear in stock and provides wonderful service.

Good selection, easy to reserve online. I just wish that they had later hours!

Initially we were excited to use CSI rentals because they came highly recommended by our videographer friend who uses them frequently. Our experience was alright. The rental order was placed for 2 lenses and the next day we got a call informing us that our sony rental wasn't available so they gave us an adapter and canon lens. That worked out well. However, we didn't get a call informing us that the Nikon lens we wanted to rent was also not available so they fulfilled the rental through fotocare, another rental spot not too far from CSI. My wife had some running around to do to pick up the other lens. Overall, CSI did come through for us but my wife shared a different in-store experience that wasn't so helpful/friendly than I got over the phone when speaking with 2 people on different occasions. We're going to rent from them again and trust that we just had a rare experience.

Going on the CSI web site, making my order, making any necessary phone calls, and making the actual pick up for the gear; could not have been friendlier, easier, and more effective.

The representative was really kind and thoughtful, something you don't always get at these rental shops.
