The loan equipment benefit in CPS is designed to give members access to backup equipment when their own gear is in for repair, allowing professionals to continue working without interruption.
Higher-tier CPS members, like those in Gold and Platinum levels, are typically eligible for loan equipment. Lower-tier members may not have this benefit or may have limited access.
CPS provides loan equipment that is typically similar to the gear members send in for repair, such as cameras or lenses, so that members can continue their work with comparable tools.
Loan equipment helps professionals avoid downtime, as they receive temporary replacement gear while waiting for repairs. This is crucial for those who depend on their equipment for time-sensitive projects.
CPS policies typically include fees or penalties if loaned equipment is not returned on time. This ensures that equipment is available for other members who might need it for similar repairs.
