Equipment Loan Service
General Information
We offer a comprehensive range of video and audio equipment that can be borrowed. This equipment is exclusively available for internal university use, such as recording lectures, student projects, or private non-commercial activities. Borrowing AV equipment is free of charge for students, while costs for borrowing vary depending on the respective items for staff members (see price list). External individuals are not eligible for borrowing. The user is liable for any damages, so we recommend considering an insurance if necessary.

Camera License
To borrow video and audio equipment, successfully completing a camera license or participating in an AV workshop by Stefanie Müller is necessary. If you have not attended an AV workshop, you must obtain the camera license. Then you will have unrestricted access to the online reservation system. Please contact us via e-mail for more information. For borrowing video backpacks for lecture recordings or lecture streaming, a camera license is not required.
The camera license test includes questions about proper handling of cameras, tripods, lighting, audio equipment, and borrowing procedures. The test consists of a theoretical part (online; 20-25 minutes) and a practical part (in-person; 40 minutes). To prepare, please watch the following videos and review the documents. The camera license is an examination; no training will be provided!
