Thank goodness Helix is still here. A much smaller version of what it use to be, but still good quality service, and Great camera equipment. Yes, they even have a rental department. Valerie was as helpful as they come. She listened to my not making sense of what I was looking for, and came up with a great solution, and she even put it all together to see if everything fit, and worked like it should. It did, and it was under a hundred bucks. Unheard of in the camera world. I have a great tripod setup thanks to Helix Photo. Next will be the camera Backpack???

Traded in some gear for a new lens and they were fair with the trade ins so I’ll definitely be returning. I use to go often when they were in Chicago and they were nice back then as well.

I had a great experience working with Valerie at Helix Camera. She was able to source the camera I wanted within days even when every other camera store in the country seemed to be back-ordered or out of stock for months. I'll definitely be trusting Helix with all my future camera needs.
