3. Booking Process: How to Rent in Phuket
1. Advance Planning
Spielben maintains a tight but robust local inventory. For most standard productions, you’ll find what you need in Phuket. However, if you’re looking for something highly specific—say, two sets of Master Primes or a Phantom Flex for high-speed motion—we’ll fly it from Bangkok.
We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance for non-standard gear.
2. Documentation & Payment
To confirm your booking:
- Provide a valid passport or Thai ID
- Make full upfront payment
- A cash deposit is required, especially for high-value equipment
Spielben offers an invoice and contract outlining your gear list, pickup/delivery times, terms, and liability.
3. Crew & Equipment Monitoring
Most rentals are not dry-hire. However, some high-end gear or heavy gear may be accompanied by a technician. Spielben reserves the right to include a gear monitor for complex setups.
Please be advised: Late returns may be charged, and any damage will incur fees based on repair or replacement costs.
4. Lighting, Grip & Power Options
Spielben’s Phuket warehouse stocks:
- Aputure 600C, 600D, 1200D
- LED tubes and softboxes
- Grip packages (C-stands, arms, flags, diffusion)
- Generator: 3KVA mobile unit
If your production calls for something niche—an ARRIMAX 18/12 or Lightbridge CRLS—we’ll arrange delivery from our Bangkok partners.
