Founded in 2025 in Duluth, Minnesota, The Equipment Pit LLC was created to give filmmakers and content creators access to professional-grade gear without leaving the North Shore. Born from a passion for storytelling and hands-on filmmaking, The Equipment Pit is more than a rental house—it’s a hub for creativity and collaboration.

We offer a full range of production equipment including cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, and audio gear—all meticulously maintained and ready to roll. Whether you’re shooting an indie feature, a commercial project, or a student film, our mission is to make sure you have the tools you need to bring your vision to life.

At The Equipment Pit, we believe great filmmaking comes from community. That’s why we’re committed to supporting local artists, production teams, and visiting crews with transparent pricing, flexible rentals, and reliable, professional service.

From pre-production planning to the final wrap, we’re here to keep your project running smoothly. When you rent from The Equipment Pit, you’re not just renting gear—you’re joining a growing network of filmmakers who share your drive to create something exceptional.
