Shelves packed with grip, camera, and expendables, carts and cases everywhere, and staff who actually know what they are talking about and are happy to help you problem solve your build or your shoot. Their gear selection is incredible, whether you are a student, indie filmmaker, or working on a bigger show. You can walk in with a half formed idea of what you need and walk out with a fully dialed in kit. One of the coolest things is that they have an ARRI Alexa 35 setup on the floor that you can actually get hands on with. Being able to play with the camera in person, test lenses, and feel out a build before committing is priceless. If you are working in LA and have not stopped by Filmtools yet, you are seriously missing out.

Hot Rod Cameras is easily one of the coolest spots in town. I've picked up a few pieces of gear…read morefrom them over time, and every single experience has been solid. The team actually knows what they're talking about. No ego, no upsell pressure, just real conversations about what makes sense for your workflow. What I respect most is how tapped in they are to the "new new." They're consistently carrying and releasing the latest gear before most places even catch up. If something innovative drops in the camera world, they either already have it or can get it fast. That matters when you're trying to stay current and competitive. The vibe is professional but relaxed. It feels like a place run by people who actually work in production and understand what it's like on set. They get the urgency. They get the details. And they treat you with respect whether you're buying something big or just grabbing an accessory. If you're serious about camera gear and want knowledgeable people who are cool, helpful, and ahead of the curve, this is the spot. Probably the coolest camera shop in town.

I've bought gear from them and prepped cameras at their LA space, and every time it's the same vibe: skilled techs, zero attitude, and a room full of people who clearly care about the craft.

SHARING PSA FOR ALL CUSTOMERS AND RENTAL HOUSES!…read more I contacted my rep at Studio Depot for a set of 10' speed rail which I was able to purchase at a discounted price. I was initially very satisfied with the order and requested that it be fulfilled. I provided my FedEx account number to the representative and authorized him to charge the account for the shipping. However, the representative failed to inform me of the shipping charges before completing the order. After days of waiting, I figured the order was sitting in the shipping cue since I was never provided a shipping cost or tracking number. The shipment arrived out of the blue; and about a week later, I was hit with a $1,507 charge from FedEx which I initially figured was fraud. Come to find out, there was either negligence in the measuring of the package, or ignorance of courtesy, that resulted in an automatic "Ground Unauthorized Package Charge" from FedEx in the amount of $1,250. That meant that the total cost to ship the item without the extra charge was $257, which in and of itself should be reason enough to inform me that the shipping would cost more than the item itself. Nevertheless, were I made aware of any such shipping cost, I would have happily driven from our location in Santa Barbara to LA to pick it up myself. Hell, I'd even bike there. Since then, I have reached out, pleading for a resolution, and the issue has simply been neglected. LONG STORY SHORT: IF YOU ARE PURCHASING ITEMS THROUGH SALES REPS AT THIS COMPANY, explicitly request that they inform you of the shipping charges especially for larger items. I certainly hope that this company increases its transparency with its customers in the future. Don't waste your time or money here. I still hope to see this resolved.

Yes they are a bit pricey, but there's not really a huge market for film equipment. Today's trip I scored some black A Clamps. I know it sounds pretty goofy to get excited about a clamp, but at the same time it's fun to collect smaller items that don't cost an arm & a leg for your studio! Plus, it saves me the hassle from having to spray paint all the clamps anyway! Also I got 20% off my purchase, not sure why, but yay! I will always come back here when I can. The only shitty part is they are open on weekdays only :(.

My 70-200 f2.8mm L was $709. Holy crap!!!! This is absolutely ridiculous that Canon does not take care of it's customers better. I had my 24-70 repaired last year and it costed $379. A $200 mark up from last year. They gave me a repair warranty that lasted only 6 months. It's absolutely ridiculous. At least with Apple products, you can buy the Apple care and get anything fixed for $100. But with Canon, NOTHING. I used to be faithful and loyal to Canon but I think it's time to see what the other brands are doing and how they are showing their appreciation towards their customers. This is absolutely insane.

We didn't have time to order online and get it before departure so I started to call around. Had a bad experience here before, but called and they were nice (other people working), had a few options, good prices as well. So we drove over, parked in front (they have a few spots for customers) and they had the tripods put aside for us to check. They were nice, patient, nice to talk to. We tried them and settled on one. It was used, but in good condition. So we bought it. It's good we gave them another shot since they are one of the last standing camera stores in the Valley!

I brought my camera in for a diagnosis after some impact damage. I was very clear: I wanted to know…read morewhat was wrong--not to have anything repaired yet. Two weeks later, I get a call that my camera is "ready for pickup." When I arrive, I'm told they replaced the motherboard without my consent, and now I owe $150 instead of the $20 diagnostic fee I was expecting. When I questioned this, the man admitted the technician "made a mistake" and offered to remove the part--but why would I have you take out something you already installed, especially when I never asked for it in the first place? I paid the fee, only to discover the camera was still malfunctioning--it overheats every 20 minutes, which is the same issue I originally brought it in for. Clearly, it was never properly diagnosed or fixed. When I finally had time to bring it back (about 3 months later), I explained the issue calmly. Instead of offering help or a second look, he immediately dismissed me, said there was a 30-day warranty (which he couldn't show me), and refused to look at the camera again. He then proceeded to call me a "bitch" under his breath and followed it up with "damn woman"--completely out of line and unprofessional. He offered no solution, no accountability, and no respect. In fact, when I pressed him further, he told me to "sue him" and walked away. I've never had such a disgusting experience with a business. I was disrespected, overcharged, ignored, and insulted. This place is a joke. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

He takes his time, pours his heart and soul into every image, and you can feel how much he genuinely cares about the stories behind the photos. In a world where so much is done quickly with AI, he is one of the rare artists still doing this work with incredible skill, patience, and heart. There is something almost spiritual about walking into this place and trusting someone with your most precious family memories. This will be the only place I trust with our valuable family photos.
