Maybe it's a radio mic kit, an action camera or something else you don't own, just go onto ShareGrid, type in what you are looking for and where and see if someone near you wants to rent their gear to you.
On the otherside, let's say that you have some equipment that you don't use everyday or want to make a little extra cash from, you can post your gear and wait for people to reach out to you to use it.
