Gear of the Year is here – cast your vote and back the best services of 2026
Behind every successful production is a network of trusted companies helping filmmakers access the gear, advice and support they need. These awards celebrate the retailers and rental specialists that keep the industry moving.
For new equipment, CVP continues to lead with its filmmaker-focused expertise, hands-on demo facilities and huge range of cinema gear. Wex, Park Cameras and ProAV remain major destinations for hybrid creators and professionals alike.
In the used market, MPB dominates with its trade-in system and enormous stock. KEH and Ffordes are respected names for quality used gear, while CVP, Wex and Park Cameras keep expanding their pre-owned offerings.
Rental houses also remain vital for productions needing high-end equipment without an enormous upfront investment, making specialist gear accessible to indie filmmakers and content creators alike.
