Use Pro Photo Equipment Without the Investment

If you’ve already spent most of your budget on traveling to a far-flung destination, you may be faced with a conundrum. Buying a pricey camera lens, an underwater camera or a GoPro might leave you having to seriously skimp on another part of your trip. (You did want to eat while you were away, didn’t you?)

On the other hand, if you don’t have it, are you going to be happy with photos taken with your smartphone or a basic digicam? Your memories may be the best pictures of all, but let’s face it: When someone says it’s a “once-in-a-lifetime trip,” that means it’s only going to happen once.

That’s where BorrowLenses.com comes in. With this site, you can browse from an astonishingly large and up-to-date selection of photo and video gear that’s all available for rent. Choose what you want, how long you need it and whether you’d like insurance, and you’re all set!

The gear can be shipped to you or if you live near one of their locations (mainly in the Northeast and SoCal, though there are a few more scattered about), you can just pick it up. When your trip’s over, use the prepaid return label to send it back — and don’t worry, if your plans change, you can extend your rental online or over the phone.
