See the World at 190° – The Ultimate Fisheye Perspective

Push the limits of creativity with the Canon RF7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM, an ultra wide-angle zoom designed to capture bold, immersive perspectives. As the world’s first fisheye zoom lens covering an incredible 190° angle of view, it delivers striking visuals that transform everyday scenes into dynamic works of art.
Shoot circular fisheye images at 7mm or switch to full-frame diagonal fisheye at 14mm for dramatic curvature and depth. With a bright f/2.8–3.5 aperture range, this lens performs beautifully in low light while maintaining the flexibility creators need for both photo and video. Built-in compatibility with EF-to-EOS R drop-in filters (Clear, CPL, and V-ND) adds even more creative control for hybrid shooters.
Whether you’re capturing extreme close-up action, sweeping environments, or unique cinematic shots, this lens opens up an entirely new visual experience.
Rent the Canon RF7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM for $65/day or $195/week.

Go Ultra-Wide. Shoot Ultra-Bright.
Capture stunning ultra-wide perspectives with the Canon RF14mm F1.4 L VCM—Canon’s brightest 14mm lens ever built for hybrid photo and video creators. Its ultra-fast f/1.4 aperture and 11-blade circular iris deliver beautiful background separation and exceptional low-light performance, perfect for dramatic stills and cinematic footage.
Designed to be compact and lightweight, this L-Series lens balances perfectly on modern mirrorless bodies, while the Voice Coil Motor (VCM) provides fast, accurate, and whisper-quiet autofocus—ideal for video work. With minimal focus breathing and a dedicated iris ring for precise manual exposure control, it offers the performance and creative control professionals demand.
Rent the Canon RF14mm F1.4 L VCM for $65 per day or $195 per week.

Power Your Aputure 700X Anywhere with EcoFlow Delta Pro
Pair the Aputure 700X with the EcoFlow Delta Pro Li-ion Battery — a powerful, reliable solution for on-location shoots without access to AC power.
Since the new Aputure 700X is not compatible with V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries, we recommend pairing it with the EcoFlow Delta Pro to ensure uninterrupted performance
wherever your shoot takes you.
This combination delivers impressive run times:
• Up to 8 hours at 50% power
• Up to 4 hours at full power
Running two Aputure 700X fixtures from a single EcoFlow Delta Pro will provide approximately half the runtime compared to powering one head.
Whether you’re working on set, outdoors, or in remote locations, the Aputure 700X and EcoFlow Delta Pro give you the freedom to create without power limitations.
Rent it today! $250 Per Day & $750 Per Week
