Hot Rod Cameras is easily one of the coolest spots in town. I've picked up a few pieces of gear…read morefrom them over time, and every single experience has been solid. The team actually knows what they're talking about. No ego, no upsell pressure, just real conversations about what makes sense for your workflow. What I respect most is how tapped in they are to the "new new." They're consistently carrying and releasing the latest gear before most places even catch up. If something innovative drops in the camera world, they either already have it or can get it fast. That matters when you're trying to stay current and competitive. The vibe is professional but relaxed. It feels like a place run by people who actually work in production and understand what it's like on set. They get the urgency. They get the details. And they treat you with respect whether you're buying something big or just grabbing an accessory. If you're serious about camera gear and want knowledgeable people who are cool, helpful, and ahead of the curve, this is the spot. Probably the coolest camera shop in town.

SHARING PSA FOR ALL CUSTOMERS AND RENTAL HOUSES!…read more I contacted my rep at Studio Depot for a set of 10' speed rail which I was able to purchase at a discounted price. I was initially very satisfied with the order and requested that it be fulfilled. I provided my FedEx account number to the representative and authorized him to charge the account for the shipping. However, the representative failed to inform me of the shipping charges before completing the order. After days of waiting, I figured the order was sitting in the shipping cue since I was never provided a shipping cost or tracking number. The shipment arrived out of the blue; and about a week later, I was hit with a $1,507 charge from FedEx which I initially figured was fraud. Come to find out, there was either negligence in the measuring of the package, or ignorance of courtesy, that resulted in an automatic "Ground Unauthorized Package Charge" from FedEx in the amount of $1,250. That meant that the total cost to ship the item without the extra charge was $257, which in and of itself should be reason enough to inform me that the shipping would cost more than the item itself. Nevertheless, were I made aware of any such shipping cost, I would have happily driven from our location in Santa Barbara to LA to pick it up myself. Hell, I'd even bike there. Since then, I have reached out, pleading for a resolution, and the issue has simply been neglected. LONG STORY SHORT: IF YOU ARE PURCHASING ITEMS THROUGH SALES REPS AT THIS COMPANY, explicitly request that they inform you of the shipping charges especially for larger items. I certainly hope that this company increases its transparency with its customers in the future. Don't waste your time or money here. I still hope to see this resolved.

This place is pretty sweet. I have mixed feelings about the new location, it's a bit more…read moreindustrial but the inside is more crowded. The floors aren't carpeted & product is kinda just crammed together. However that def won't stop me from coming here. Just like the older location better that's all! Yes they are a bit pricey, but there's not really a huge market for film equipment. Today's trip I scored some black A Clamps. I know it sounds pretty goofy to get excited about a clamp, but at the same time it's fun to collect smaller items that don't cost an arm & a leg for your studio! Plus, it saves me the hassle from having to spray paint all the clamps anyway! Also I got 20% off my purchase, not sure why, but yay! I will always come back here when I can. The only shitty part is they are open on weekdays only :(.

We didn't have time to order online and get it before departure so I started to call around. Had a bad experience here before, but called and they were nice (other people working), had a few options, good prices as well. So we drove over, parked in front (they have a few spots for customers) and they had the tripods put aside for us to check. They were nice, patient, nice to talk to. We tried them and settled on one. It was used, but in good condition. So we bought it. It's good we gave them another shot since they are one of the last standing camera stores in the Valley!
