CCAM Equipment Checkout
The CCAM Equipment Checkout offers advanced media production equipment, including video cameras, lighting, and sound kits, to check out at no cost.
It is open to Yale students who are:
- currently enrolled in CCAM Sponsored Courses,
- working on a filmmaking (only) CPA (Creative and Performing Arts) Award project, or

Please note that the amount of equipment is limited and will be available a first-come, first-served basis for these users only.
The Equipment Checkout operates only while Yale College courses are in session (view the current Academic Year calendar here). It is closed during all recess periods, and no exceptions will be made.

- Graduate students enrolled in School of Art courses should use the School of Art Equipment Loan Office (ELO).
- Undergraduate students enrolled in Art major photography courses should contact their professor to secure equipment.
- Undergraduate performance projects being advised by the Undergraduate Production team can access gear from the UP Inventory and Equipment Catalog.
Film at Yale
Film at Yale is a website that connects and supports students, faculty, staff, alums, and community members through film. Here, you can learn about screenings, events, festivals, and other film-related events on campus. You can also explore curricular and other resources related to creating, learning about, and experiencing the art of film. As filmmaking is one of the many creative practices CCAM explores through our work, we are pleased to promote Film at Yale among our community.
