Q: Are power distribution strips, laptop power bricks, or multiple cables included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers a single standalone fused electrical power cable in your chosen length only (priced per piece). It is intentionally designed to offer highly flexible, low-overhead utility allocations for production crews, capture assistants, or DIT teams who already manage their preferred electronics and simply require certified, tidy power lines to organize their gear. If your crew requires an independent power block or full computer desk setups, please remember to add our high-speed readers, ASUS displays, or Mac mini M4 compute modules to your Hong Kong gear allocation.

Q: What is the main technical advantage of renting a short 30cm power cable instead of using a standard long household cord on set?
A: Excess cable length is the number one enemy of clean, safe on-set data management. When you bundle standard 2-meter or 3-meter cables inside a compact rolling DIT cart or a tight field kit, you create massive nests of wire clutter that trap heat, block airflow, and invite accidental cable tug disconnections. Our 30cm short option offers an uncompromised direct line that bridges your device straight to your power strip with zero extra slack, optimizing hardware ventilation and keeping your mobile workstation exceptionally clean and efficient.

Q: What common film and video production gear uses an IEC C5 “Cloverleaf” socket? Will this fit a heavy cinema camera or a standard Mac mini?
A: The IEC C5 connector is a grounded 3-prong plug shaped like a three-leaf clover or Mickey Mouse ears, used universally for mid-range electronic power adapters. It is the exact standard port profile found on most professional laptop power bricks (such as large MacBook Pro or PC workstation adapters) and specific external monitor power blocks. However, it will not fit an Apple Mac mini (which uses the flat 2-prong IEC C7 wire) or heavy studio lights (which utilize the thicker 3-pin IEC C13 kettle-lead socket). Please carefully verify your hardware’s exact power input terminal shape before booking.

Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.

Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.

Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
