Loop Equipment Center
Loop Equipment Center Inventory
The Loop Equipment Center, located in the Lower Level of the Daley Building, is home to a large array of production equipment available to students. Also known as "The Cage," the Loop Equipment Center is stocked with many different models of digital camcorders, DSLRs, lenses and camera accessories, field audio equipment, portable lighting, and light grip gear.
The Loop Equipment Center staff are fellow students, knowledgeable not only about the equipment but also the practicalities of student productions. They can help you schedule equipment rentals and, during slower periods, offer some instruction in the operation of the equipment.
