ATV Video Center

Bad service and bad equipment. Outdated and extremely slow. We rented a teleprompter and it didn’t work and they still refused to refund us. Don’t recommend this place.

I used ATV for their services for a slideshow at my grandfather’s funeral in June. They were nothing short of amazing. So helpful in a time of need. On incredibly short notice (like, the night before) they helped me to get everything together for the next day. They were knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and friendly. They were on time, set up and tested the equipment, and made sure I could contact them with any questions. Thank you ATV for your great service that added to a beautiful and memorable ceremony for my family. Highly recommended!

These guys are great. Rented a HD projector for our Super Bowl party. Advice was great, machine was perfect and the whole experience was awesome. Use these guys!

I think one thing I should say is test EVERY thing you rent prior to leaving the shop. Take pictures and make a note of any damage. They will tell you they do that, but protect yourself and them really and ask to do it together. Otherwise it’s just your word against some wharehouse guy and there will be no way to protect yourself other than the pictures you take. Prices are reasonable but cover yourself and take the time to ask to have everything tested in front of you and take pictures of any and all damage. This is for everyone’s protection and not to be a jerk. The warehouse won’t hesitate to say you damaged something so protect everyone involved and take a moment to see it for yourself. Also they have an emergency number on the paperwork, if you have a problem after hours and you call the main number it will not direct you to the emergency number to call. So you may want to make a note that the number is there.
That being said, they have a good selection and fair prices and the lady at the front desk and the owner/​manager are both quite nice.

I’ve rented from ATV for about a dozen occasions now and can safely say they deserve the full 5 stars.
Why? A combo of reasons. The service is always spot on and there is never an employee who doesn’t know what they are talking about. They also are more than willing to help carry equipment out to your car for you. Second — they remember you. It only took a couple visits before they knew my regular order and made sure to have it waiting.
I understand they have some specific requirements (one reviewer complains that they they wouldn’t help him because he didn’t have a credit card) but with so much expensive equipment in one place and they being the only ones to offer such rentals, it’s understandable that they will take great lengths to protect their merchandise. I’ve never been here where they haven’t gone out of their way to help me or explored all options to make my rental a reality.

My organization has worked with ATV for several years now, from equipment purchases to camera calibration.
Recently, I worked with them on an independent production. It was my first experience with their production team, which included Grant, David, Jason, and Payton. I must say, the experience was wonderful. They listened to the vision of myself and the director and went above and beyond to execute accordingly. Furthermore, their technical expertise has been invaluable. I appreciate that they were not just focused on the job at hand, but the entire project /​outcomes.
The most important aspect of working with them is the incredible attitude and team work they brought to the project. Even though it was two long, hot days, they had upbeat, positive personalities. Not only was there incredible synergy within their own team, but they also interacted well with the whole team — including talent, director, producers and PAs.
I highly recommend their services.

I know nothing about audio video stuff so I’ll make this brief. We rented a projector for a wedding. They were polite, speedy, helpful, explanative, and seemed to really know what they were talking about. I returned the projector after said wedding, and forgot the power chord. They were super cool and gave me plenty of time to get it to them… without charging me a late fee. I felt like their prices for rental were a little high, but then again, what do I know. If I’m ever making a snuff film or fulfilling my dream of becoming a crime scene photographer, I’ll be going back to this place for rentals and advice.

I have used ATV for years and had reasonably good service. I went in today and because I did not have a credit card, only a debit card, they would no longer rent to me. I am a small business with business liability insurance, but there was no mention of using my insurance as surety, only a credit card, which made me feel as fi they thought I was going to steal the equipment. It is against my beliefs to have a credit card therefore I will no longer be using ATV. They were inflexible, and did not seem to have any concern for a long time customer.

I’ve used these guys both professionally and for a fun weekend project, and they’ve always come thru with what we need. Lights, projectors, dollys and track — good solid equipment for video work. Their warehouse of good quality rental stuff means I don’t have to buy the equipment myself. And to be honest I wouldn’t buy it myself, so without these guys I guess I’d have to do without…
