    You can't make money enough to live, let alone improve your package… Just hurting yourself and others around you.
    Can't believe I get paid to do this.
    If I don't own it I rent it...

    I have a feeling people renting this cheap don't really care, but yes, those are sad realities.

    Is the market really this bad or is this just the case of someone trying to make it happen no matter what?

    I'm apt to believe the market is quite bad. RED has saturated the world with high end gear. Gear that often sits unused. The people that successfully rent do so because of long standing relationships that transcend the equipment, forcing the new entrants to deeply discount to build their base. I'm amazed at how weddings and webisodes are now being shot in 4 & 5k. I think single owner rentals will be a thing of the past. Soon we'll see owners throwing in the kit for free just to get a "producer" title or DIT gig.

    . . . said the film merchant to the digital industry customer 3 years ago. Everything changes boyz - you are the new film guy so get ready for brutal competition which sorts by lowest price.
