If you are looking to rent equipment this is simply the place to go! I had just gotten my first commercial and was in a little over my head. The owner walked through the project with me and helped me out with gear I would need to accomplish my vision and even showed me how every piece of gear worked and functioned. He even assured me that if anything was giving me trouble that I was free to call and he’d help me step by step!! As a beginner this was incredibly helpful and it just shows how the owner WILL go the extra mile for you! So whether you’re a pro or just starting out I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, Matte Black is the only way to go!

I'm from out of town, I found Matte Black Camera Rentals online. They are very affordable, fast, easy, and friendly. The whole process was really quick and easy, it was the perfect situation renting gear out of town. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience at this renting here, the equipment was top-notch, and the Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. From cameras to lenses and lighting gear, they had it all. The prices were reasonable, and I appreciated the flexibility of their rental options. This shop made my photo project a breeze. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my photography needs!

This is my second time renting from Matte Black. Chris has been very helpful and responsive in providing the Canon R5 and accompanying equipment to make my Southwest desert photography experience a huge success. He is the “go to” person for making your hobby an enjoyable effort with selection suggestions based on his years of experience. If you’re traveling, this is a high end solution to getting quality equipment in AZ for your enjoyment. I’ll be back, Chris, Nice work!

Awesome pricing and single-day rates. Personal service too, which is more than a lot of people can say. This is definitely the first place I'll be checking for lens rentals! Much better than online services.

Chris, the owner, was so nice and immensely helpful with what I needed. He took the time to make sure his equipment would work with my camera. When it didn't work he tried two different ones. After talking with me about what my project needs were and how I was planning to use it, he came up with a great solution. This is customer service at it's finest. It even cost me less than my first option that didn't work. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. I highly recommend him and I will definitely go back when I need something again.

Chris was an absolute lifesaver and has a wealth of knowledge in his field. When I showed up to Arizona missing a component for a doc shoot, he was quick to get me set up with what I needed and was very flexible about the return time, so long as I communicated that in advance. Next time I come to AZ to work on a project, I'm ditching my gear back at home and plan on hitting up Matte Black Camera Rentals for my needs!

Chris is hands down THE best shop to rent from in Phoenix. He's both extremely knowledgable and a blast to sit and talk to. Best of all, as long as the equipment is on-hand he's always willing to let you do a quick shootout to really be able to see the differences between various lenses\bodies as opposed to just explaining the differences or showing reference shots.

I have been renting from Matte Black Camera for awhile now. Chris, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable about all things camera related and is super helpful anytime I have any questions. I highly recommend Matte Black Camera. Great customer service, good prices, and it’s a small locally owned business. I wont go anywhere else!!

Chris is the man. He is so friendly and professional, and is really talented - he has a great background in music, songwriting, photography and video. As the lens I was looking for wasn't available (person who had rented it could not return it on time), Chris hooked me up with an upgrade at no extra cost. He also made it extremely easy through the entire process and also shared some awesome stories from his previous gigs. Thank you so much, Chris. It was a pleasure and we will meet again.Be vocal for local ?
