For photographers coming to New Orleans:
New Orleans is a small town with a big name. There are no equipment rental facilities so bring everything you need with you. It is possible, on occasion, to rent from individual photographers. Just let us know if we can help with that.

Grip equipment is available from Available Lighting. Their market is the movie industry but they have equipment for rent you might need.
