# ABP Loans Desk

The ABP Loans Desk is a fully equipped media loans facility. We provide students and staff with a wide range of bookable digital media equipment, from digital SLR’s, Video and Sound Recording Kits, Photographic Lighting, Tripods, a Photographic Studio Space with Professional Lighting, Virtual Reality Kit’s, high resolution 3D Scanners, and digital Projectors.

This knowledge base is designed to provide a quick and basic understanding of our key loan equipment. Most knowledge is transferable between similar products such as different brand and model DSLR's however may not be specific to the model you have picked-up. 

If you require more specific information we kindly suggest to search YouTube or google for the user guides, there may be some extra references we think are suitable at the bottom of each guide.
