Why Finding Gear Last-Minute Makes Sense
Many creators — whether vloggers, podcasters, interviewers, or Web3 video teams — decide to upgrade or supplement their kit just before a major event like TOKEN2049. Whether you forgot a mic, want a second camera for multi-angle shots, need extra batteries, or want printed signage or business cards, doing this last-minute can still work if you know where to go. Singapore’s photography and electronics scene offers both physical stores and reliable rental services — as long as you move fast.

Top Camera Stores & Rental Spots in Singapore
Alan Photo — Cameras, Lenses, Audio & Studio Gear
Alan Photo is one of Singapore’s largest camera stores. They sell a full range of cameras, lenses, microphones, and studio lighting gear. Their inventory is suited for creators needing a serious video setup, and they even provide test-rooms to try lighting and grip equipment.
If you want to buy gear outright — such as a new camera, mic, or spare battery — Alan Photo is a strong first stop. Their staff can help you pick gear that fits your shooting plans, from handheld vlogging to interview-style setups.

CRC Singapore — Rental House for Cameras, Drones & Studio Gear
If you prefer renting over buying (often more cost-effective if you only need gear for a few days), CRC Singapore is a trusted rental house offering cameras, drones, grip gear and studio lighting. A good option if you want professional gear temporarily without committing to long-term ownership.
Renting is ideal when you plan to shoot high-quality interviews, panel recaps, or event coverage without carrying all your gear long-term. Just check availability early — demand can surge before big events like TOKEN2049.
JustRentLah / Renticulous — Flexible Rental Services for Creators
For maximum flexibility and convenience, JustRentLah and Renticulous are good options. They list a variety of gear: cameras, gimbals, wireless mics, lighting kits — many geared toward creators, vloggers, and travel shooters.
If you’re travelling light and want a plug-and-play setup for a few days, these services can save you time and money. Their online booking and delivery options can make last-minute gear pickup much easier than visiting brick-and-mortar stores.
Where to Buy Accessories or Print Materials
Sim Lim Square & Surrounding Electronics Hubs — For Last-Minute Accessories
For quick buys like extra SD cards, battery packs, microphone cables, or memory-card readers, many electronics shops around Sim Lim Square stock photography accessories and basic video-production gear. While Sim Lim has had a mixed reputation for depending on the shop, some stores remain reliable for last-minute buys.
If you use this option, aim to go in the morning, inspect the product carefully before payment, and don’t hesitate to ask for receipts — this reduces the risk of issues.
Specialist Stores for Preloved or Budget-Friendly Gear — For Tight Budgets
If you’re on a tight budget or want backup gear without spending too much, stores dealing in used or pre-loved camera gear — such as some camera-resale shops — can offer decent deals. These can be useful for spare lenses, tripods, external mics, or lighting stands.
While used gear may lack warranties, it can still serve well for a one-time content shoot during TOKEN2049.
Last-Minute Tips Before You Go
1. Check Inventory & Rent Early
Rental shops tend to book out fast around major events. If possible, secure gear 3–5 days before TOKEN2049 starts. Confirm delivery or pick-up time and make sure you test everything — cameras, mics, batteries — before heading to the event.
2. Stick to Reliable, Well-Known Stores
When buying or renting last minute, it’s safer to rely on shops with solid reputations — such as Alan Photo, CRC, JustRentLah, or Renticulous — rather than unverified vendors. This helps avoid hassles with faulty gear or poor after-sale support.
3. Bundle Smart — Get Essentials Only
Focus on essentials for event content: a reliable camera, spare battery, external mic (for clarity in noisy halls), and a compact tripod or gimbal. Over-buying gear at the last minute may become a burden during travel.
4. Print Materials in Advance
If you need printed posters, roll-ups or branded content for meetups, try local print shops or online print-on-demand services a few days before the event. Waiting until the last minute can result in delays or quality compromises.
When Renting Makes More Sense Than Buying
- You only need gear for the event duration — not long-term projects.
- You’re travelling light and prefer not to check bulky equipment on flights.
- You want access to high-end gear (like drones or cinema-grade cameras) without the high purchase cost.
- You’re testing a new format (interview, panel debrief, documentary) and not sure about long-term usage.
Renting from stores like CRC or JustRentLah gives flexibility, saves money, and reduces logistical hassles.
Final Thoughts
Even if you checked the calendar late, it’s still very possible to get quality content gear in Singapore on short notice — you just need to know where to look. Whether it’s a reliable store like Alan Photo for cameras, a flexible rental house like CRC for cinema gear, or JustRentLah and Renticulous for creator-friendly kits, you have viable options.
