As the photography and film industry in Vancouver restarts, Flashpoint is here to fulfill all your equipment rental needs, albeit with some slight procedural changes:

• Pickups and returns must be scheduled ahead of time as we try to limit the number of customers present at the shop at any time
• While inside the shop, please be mindful to not touch anything unless necessary
• There is no customer access to the bathrooms
• Staff will be unable to assist with the loading or unloading of equipment from your vehicles
• High touch surfaces (credit card terminal, doorknobs, counters) will be sanitized after each customer
• Equipment is either quarantined, sanitized, or both, between rentals

We thank you for your patience and understanding through these times, and look forward to working with you on all your projects!
