Sydney · Cameras & drones
Something better than your own.
Gear Envy is a Sydney marketplace where creators rent cameras and drones from the people who own them — for the job you have, without buying the kit.
Every renter ID-verified · Every handover photo-documented · Bond held, never charged
Launching first — Sydney, lower north shore & northern beaches
Join from anywhere — the waitlist is open to all. At launch, listing and booking unlock for the launch postcodes first; everyone else gets in as new areas open.

List your gear03 · For renters
Stop wanting it. Start shooting with it.
- 01
Find the kit for the job
Browse cameras and drones from verified Sydney owners. Pick your dates, see the real daily price upfront — no hidden extras.
- 02
Book and pick up locally
Reserve in a couple of taps, then collect from the owner. Every handover includes a photo condition check, so both sides know exactly what's what.
- 03
Shoot, then hand it back
Do the work. Return the gear in the shape you got it. Try something different next weekend — that's the whole point.
04 · For lenders
Your kit could be working weekends.
- 01
List in minutes
Photograph your gear, set your daily rate and availability. We guide pricing so your listing stays competitive.
- 02
Approve requests — or go Instant Book
Renters are ID-verified. Review each request and approve or decline — your gear, your call. Keep your calendar current and switch on ⚡ Instant Book to get surfaced to renters who need gear sooner.
- 03
Get paid on return
Hand over, hand back, get paid. Gear Envy's 15% commission covers the platform, payments and the Protection Plan process — you keep 85% of your listed price.
05 · Trust & safety
Handing over a $4,000 camera should feel boring.
Verified IDs
Every renter completes ID verification before their first booking.
Bond holds
The owner sets a bond on each listing — a temporary pre-authorisation, never a charge, released after the gear comes back in good condition.
Photo handovers
Timestamped condition photos at check-out and check-in, stored on the booking.
Protection Plan
Every booking includes our Protection Plan — see how it works. A platform feature, not an insurance product.
06 · What's next
Cameras first. Then the good stuff.
Once the camera and drone catalogue is humming, Gear Envy opens up to the rest of the shed. On the roadmap — not available yet.
