This August Bank Holiday Weekend, we’re giving you exactly that.
At Try The Kit, we have a simple rule: Bank Holidays are free. Because we’re closed on long-weekend Mondays, we don't count them as loan days. This means when you book a trial over the August Bank Holiday, your standard free 48-hour test drive automatically stretches into a free 72-hour trial.
Best of all, there are no promo codes to type in and no hoops to jump through—the extra day is added automatically when you select your dates. All you pay is the usual fully-refundable deposit.
How the August Bank Holiday Bonus Works
It’s the ultimate creative "cheat code." When you schedule your trial to overlap with the Bank Holiday, your schedule looks like this:
-
Friday: Pick up your gear (or receive your delivery).
-
Saturday & Sunday: Your standard 48-hour trial window.
-
Bank Holiday Monday: FREE. Keep testing the kit; the clock is paused.
-
Tuesday: Return the kit by 10:00 AM.
That extra 24 hours is the difference between a rushed test and a deep dive into your next favorite system.
Choose Your Weapon: The Big Three
Whether you are looking to switch systems or just curious about the latest tech, our bank holiday trials cover the heavy hitters in the industry:
Lumix Loan: The Video Powerhouse
The Lumix S5II and S5IIX have redefined what creators expect from Phase Hybrid AF and internal ProRes recording. If you’ve been eyeing the Lumix GH7 for its incredible micro-four-thirds speed, a 72-hour window gives you the perfect chance to put that world-class IBIS to the test on a real-world shoot.
Canon Test Drive: The Industry Standard
Considering a jump to the RF mount? Our Canon Test Drive program lets you get hands-on with the EOS R5 Mark II or the versatile EOS R6 Mark II. Pair them with legendary L-series glass and spend the long weekend seeing how those skin tones and Dual Pixel AF performance handle a full day of shooting.
Fujifilm Loan: The Soul of Photography
For those who prioritize color science and tactile handling, the Fujifilm Loan program is your gateway to the X-Series and GFX systems. Take an X-T5 or the powerhouse X-H2S out for the weekend. Use that extra Bank Holiday Monday to truly customize your Film Simulations and see how the files look in your post-production workflow.
Don’t Miss the Deadline
Our inventory moves fast, especially when there’s a long weekend on the horizon. If you want to spend your August Bank Holiday with a fresh piece of glass or a brand-new body, make sure to reserve your dates early.
