There is nothing quite like a May Bank Holiday. Whether you are heading out to capture a wedding, filming a passion project in the spring sunshine, or simply taking the time to explore a new landscape, a three-day weekend is the ultimate gift for a creator.
At Hireacamera, we want to make that gift go even further.
If you’ve hired with us before, you’ll know our golden rule: Sundays and Bank Holidays are always free. When you combine those two, the May Bank Holidays become the single best time of the year to hire gear.
3-for-1 for all your latest projects
When you book a hire over the May Bank Holiday weekends, the calendar works heavily in your favour. Here is how the "Hireacamera Hack" looks in practice:
By booking a Saturday-to-Monday slot, you effectively get a 72-hour rental window while only paying for a single 24-hour period. It is the most cost-effective way to put that high-end cinema camera or specialized macro lens through its paces without the pressure of a ticking clock.
What’s on Your May Wishlist?
With three full days at your disposal, you can finally take on those projects that require a bit more setup and patience.
-
For the Cinematographers: Take out the Sony FX3 or Canon EOS C70. Use Saturday for your rig setup and tests, Sunday for the main shoot, and Monday for those crucial b-roll pick-ups—all on one day's hire fee.
-
For the Wildlife Photographers: May is peak season for nature. Grab a super-telephoto like the Sony FE 200-600mm or the Canon RF 100-500mm and spend the entire long weekend in the field.
-
For the Hybrid Creators: Test the phenomenal stabilization of the Lumix S5IIX or the high-resolution prowess of the Fujifilm GFX 100II. A three-day window gives you enough time to truly master the menus and customize the buttons to your shooting style.
