Rent a camera, drone or projector near you

Rent a camera, drone, projector or PA set from private owners and rental companies nearby — your deposit comes back.

All about renting electronics

Renting a projector for that one presentation or film night, a mirrorless camera for a weekend of filming, a speaker and a mixer for a birthday, a games console for a rainy weekend: electronics you genuinely use a few days a year. On Huurmarkt you rent a camera, drone or projector from someone near you in the Netherlands who already owns it — a photographer, a musician or a rental company that rents out through Huurmarkt. Expensive gear comes with an ID check: the help centre names cameras, drones and professional audio explicitly, and the owner can require ID verification on the listing — then they know who is taking the camera, and you know the deposit comes back after a correct return. Where Huurmarkt protection is on for a listing, you verify your identity or you book without protection; then only the deposit applies.

Read the guide

You will find camera bodies, lenses, gimbals and audio recorders under Photo & Video Production; drones under Drones & Aerial Imaging; speakers, amplifiers, mixers and turntables under Audio & PA Systems; projectors and projection screens under Presentation & Projection; laptops, tablets, monitors and a games console under Computers, Tablets & Accessories; softboxes and LED panels under Studio & Lighting Gear. What is available right now is shown in the tiles above. The day price counts per calendar day, including collection and return day; where the owner offers half a day, that counts as one day.

Looking for the complete sound and light set for a wedding or company party, look under Events, Parties & Hospitality — individual speakers, amplifiers, mixers and turntables belong here. Mood lighting for the home is under Home, Garden & Interior, musical instruments under Miscellaneous & Special Items, and inspection cameras and laser levels under Tools & Construction. How deposits, cancellations and payments work is explained on the Rent page.

Which camera or lens to rent for your shoot

With photo and video the difference sits in the lens more often than in the body: a fast zoom for a wedding indoors, a wide angle for interiors and landscape, a telephoto for sport. If you rent a body from a brand you do not use daily, ask which mount it has and whether an adapter is included — otherwise your own glass will not fit. For moving image, a gimbal, an external recorder and enough fast memory cards matter more than a pricier body.

Projector, sound and studio light: the room decides

You choose a projector by the room: how dark can you get it, how large should the image be and how many metres sit between lens and screen. A short-throw model stands close to the screen and rescues a small room; in a hall you would rather add lumens. Ask as well whether a screen is included or whether you will project onto a white wall.

With audio the room sets the power: an active speaker with a small mixer is enough for drinks at home, a hall asks for more and for a subwoofer. Studio light follows what you are making: a softbox for soft portrait light, LED panels once film is involved, a backdrop system when it has to look flat.

What to look for when you rent electronics

  • Filters hang off the subcategory: Intended use (Photo, Video, Presentation, Streaming, Gaming) under Photo & Video Production, Computers and Studio; Brightness in lumens under Presentation & Projection; Screen size in inches for projectors, laptops and tablets. Across the whole category you will not see them.
  • Included accessories: the free-text field listing lenses, batteries, memory cards, cables and a flight case.
  • Power supply: under Audio & PA Systems a property, not a search filter — standard socket (230V), three-phase power (400V) or battery; ask in the chat.
  • Requires ID verification: owners can switch this on for their listing, and you tick it in the filters on the search page. The help centre recommends verification from €250 product value and requires it from €1,000, naming cameras, drones and professional audio explicitly.
  • Delivery: some owners offer it — ask in the chat before you book, with the pick-up time and the dimensions of the case.
  • Your own files: wipe your footage, photos and accounts before you hand the device back.

Rent or buy electronics?

Count the days you actually have the gear in your hands. On a Dutch peer-to-peer rental platform on 15 September 2026, mirrorless camera bodies stood roughly between €18 and €75 a day, a basic zoom lens at €10 and a professional wide angle at €95, and a complete professional drone at €85 (market figures, not Huurmarkt prices). If you pick up the camera weekly, buy it. If you need a wide angle, a drone or a projector twice a year, renting is the sensible choice: no purchase standing there ageing, no batteries draining in a drawer, and you rent this year's generation.

Frequently asked questions

What does renting a projector cost per day?

The owner sets the day price, so it is shown per listing. For orientation, measured on 15 September 2026 at a Dutch projector rental company: a basic projector of around 2,800 lumens sits at €20 a day there, home-cinema models roughly between €25 and €85, and only at 4K or six thousand lumens does it climb to €80 and up (market figures, not Huurmarkt prices). On Huurmarkt you pay the day price × the number of calendar days, plus the deposit and any delivery cost; you see that total before you pay, and picking up on Friday and returning on Monday counts as four days. How rental days, cancellations and payments work is explained on the Rent page; more on booking in How to book an item.

How many lumens do I need for a projector?

It depends on the light in the room and on how large the image has to be: in a darkened room a few thousand lumens will get you a long way, in a hall with daylight or on a big screen you want considerably more, and projecting outdoors asks the most. Choose the Presentation & Projection subcategory and the filters Brightness in lumens (100 to 30,000) and Screen size in inches appear; they hang off the subcategory, so you will not see them across the whole category. Ask in the chat how far from the screen the projector needs to stand and which cables, remote and screen come with it. See Search and filters.

Do I need a drone licence or registration to rent a drone?

Registration and proof of competence belong to the pilot, not to the aircraft: whoever flies arranges their own registration and keeps to the rules for the area they fly in. Under Drones & Aerial Imaging, 'Drone registration required' is a filter, so you can search for or skip aircraft that call for it; ask the owner before you book what applies to this drone. Agree straight away how many batteries come along, whether spare propellers are included and which case it travels in. A driving licence rarely comes up with electronics, but an owner can require ID verification. See Renter-owner chat.

What is included: lenses, batteries, memory cards and cables?

That is shown per listing under 'Included accessories' — where the owner notes which lens comes along, or that everything travels in a flight case. Do not assume memory cards, a second battery, a tripod or XLR and HDMI cables are included; ask in the chat before you book, and at the same time how the gear should come back — clean, charged and complete in its case is a normal request. With a speaker or mixer, add the question about power supply. Count what you receive at handover: missing parts on return count as loss. See Item return.

What if the camera or projector breaks or is stolen?

Report it through the platform straight away, with your photos from pick-up and return. For theft, a police report is mandatory: without a police report number a claim cannot be assessed, and missing parts or accessories on return count as loss. Where Huurmarkt protection is on for the listing, the deposit is used first and the risk pool can then top up to €2,000 per report, for a product value up to €10,000; Huurmarkt assesses every report and there is no entitlement to a payout. That ceiling bites in this category in particular: a professional camera or drone kit is soon worth more than €2,000, and the owner can claim anything above it directly from the renter.
