Gear inventory

What the studio owns, what each event needs, who has it now, what it costs when it breaks, and where each shoot is copied. Everything here is a warning or a step. Nothing stops you working.

Start the 30-day trial

No card needed. Every feature during the trial.

One list of everything you own

  • Camera, Lens, Lighting, Gimbal, Drone, Audio, Memory card, Drive and Accessory, each with its serial number, condition and status.
  • Several of the same, such as memory cards: up to 50 at a time, each with its own number and label.
  • Gear a crew member owns can go on the list under their name, and counts for them on the events they work.
  • Kits, such as Wedding kit A, to put a whole set on an event at once.
  • Price, bill, warranty and insurance are seen only by those who see money. Your crew see the gear without them.

Gear on each event

  • Put gear on an event from the project's Gear tab.
  • Cameras and drones are compared with the crew plan, and the tab says how many are short.
  • The same item on two events that overlap, or on the same day in different cities, is a clash. You see a warning, and it is still saved.
  • A project with no gear on it is asked nothing about gear.

QR labels, check out and check in

  • Print a sheet of labels. A label opens the item's page for a signed-in member of your studio. Anyone else learns nothing from it.
  • Check an item out to a person, with its condition and a photo if you want one. Check it back in the same way.
  • Gear still out after its event keeps the project asking until it is back.

Care, damage and loss

  • A service log on each item, with a rhythm such as every 6 months. The Care tab lists service due, and warranties and insurance ending within 30 days.
  • Anyone who uses gear can report damage or a loss, with a photo.
  • A cost can be recorded as money out in your money book, linked to the project, so it counts in that project's profit.

Where each shoot is copied

  • Record which card or drive holds each event, and tick when someone has opened a copy and checked it.
  • The project asks until an event has two copies and one is checked.
  • isodesk records what you tell it. It does not read the card or the drive, and cannot tell if a copy is good.

Short of something, or done with it

  • Short of a camera or a drone on a date? The shoot shows rental kits from CineRentals, which is in the same group as isodesk.
  • Camera exchange (coming soon): sell or trade in a camera you no longer use.
