metItem for Film & Video Production
Gear & rental tracking for film & video.
Track every camera body, lens, light, and cable across shoots and crew. Check kits out for a production, check them back in, manage rentals, and know exactly what's on the truck — before you're on location without it.
No credit card required — free plan available
Sound familiar?
Three problems we hear from every film & video production team we talk to. metItem is built specifically to fix them.
We're on location without the right cable
Gear gets packed in a rush and something's always missing on set — a specific cable, the spare battery, the right mount. Now production stalls while someone makes a run.
The rental never came back
Rented or borrowed gear gets mixed in with owned kit and quietly disappears, or comes back late and racks up extra rental days you end up eating.
What's the replacement value of all this?
Insurance, production binders, and end-of-shoot checkouts need serials, values, and condition — scattered across cases, emails, and someone's memory.
Built for the way film & video production actually work
No bloat. No 40-tab settings panel. Just the features that turn tracking into a habit instead of a chore.
Check kits out to crew, shoots, or trucks
Build gear into kits and assign them to a production, person, or vehicle. Check-in/out shows who has what and what's overdue, so nothing walks off between jobs.
Rental tracking with return dates
Flag rented gear with its return date and vendor. metItem reminds you before it's due, so you stop eating late fees and extra rental days.
Serials, values & condition for insurance
Every item carries a serial, replacement value, photo, and condition note. Pull a clean asset list for insurance or a production binder in seconds.
Barcode + QR labels that survive the road
Label every case and item, scan to pack and unpack. Pre-shoot kit checks take minutes, so you catch the missing piece in the shop, not on set.
What teams like yours say
“We stopped showing up to set with a hole in the kit. Pre-shoot we scan every case against the list — if something's missing, we know in the shop, not two hours into the day.”
“Mixing rentals with our own gear used to cost us in late fees and 'lost' rentals. Tracking return dates in metItem basically eliminated both.”
“Insurance renewal and the occasional claim used to be a nightmare of digging for serials. Now it's a CSV export with values and photos already attached.”
Names and studio details anonymized at the request of the customers quoted.
Nothing missing when you hit set.
