It depends on your market and booking frequency. In high-demand cities like Los Angeles and New York, the Sony a7R V is one of the most requested cameras on rental platforms. In smaller markets, finding consistent bookings is harder. Use the calculator above to model your specific scenario.
Full Kit listings command $175-$325/day compared to $75-$175/day for body only, but require a $5,500 upfront investment vs $3,898 for body only. The higher-tier listing typically has a better ROI per dollar invested if you can maintain consistent bookings.
Sharegrid charges a 15% service fee on all bookings. Multi-day rentals also typically receive a 10-30% discount off the daily rate. This means your net earnings per day are lower than the listed rate. The calculator above accounts for the 15% platform fee.
