who excel at providing a personal service to attract and keep loyal customers.
Which works best for you? The Pro Moviemaker Gear of the Year Awards are the perfect place to let the world know which retailer makes a massive difference to you and your work. When it comes to rental houses, some are niche and specialise in one thing – perhaps lenses. Others are massive and can offer you all the kit to make blockbuster-budget feature films. Think lighting trucks packed full of gear, catering trucks and generators to power huge lights. Some, like VMI, are incredibly environmentally conscious and focus on their green credentials to differentiate themselves from rivals. And others offer a specialised service that’s aimed at independent filmmakers. But which has helped make your life simpler? Cast your vote right now and ensure your voice has been heard.

filmmakers have for equipment. The very best don’t simply sell boxes of kit but listen to your needs and offer help, education, rental or repair. Some have YouTube channels with advice, or offer workshops and seminars as well as try-outs of the products they sell. Two of our service categories are for retailers – one for dealers who specialise in new and another for used equipment. Some of the largest dealers are CVP, Wex, B&H, Adorama, KEH and MPB. These companies have grown because they offer more than just great value. They are often staffed by experts there to help you get the right stuff, often offering value-added extras to make the difference. Some of the nominations are much smaller, niche companies
