metItem for Photographers
Gear tracking for photographers.
Track every lens, body, light, and battery. Check gear out for a shoot, check it back in, and know exactly who has what — no more spreadsheets, no more lost equipment.
No credit card required — free plan available
Sound familiar?
Three problems we hear from every photographers team we talk to. metItem is built specifically to fix them.
Where's the 24-70?
Gear gets lost between shoots, left in a rental car, or forgotten on a client's set. Spreadsheets don't tell you who picked it up last.
Did the assistant return the wireless mic kit?
Crew members borrow gear and forget to return it. By the time you notice, you're at the next shoot without the audio you need.
The insurance audit is tomorrow
Your $50K of bodies, lenses, and lighting needs serial numbers, purchase dates, and replacement values — and they're in three different places.
Built for the way photographers actually work
No bloat. No 40-tab settings panel. Just the features that turn tracking into a habit instead of a chore.
Barcode + QR labels for every piece of gear
Print a label, stick it on the case, and your phone scans it in two seconds. Adding a new lens to inventory takes 15 seconds, not 5 minutes of typing.
Check-out and check-in for shoots
Assign gear to a specific person, project, or shoot date. Returns auto-restore quantity. Late returns surface in a dashboard so nothing slips.
Photos + serial numbers in one place
Every item gets a photo, serial number, purchase date, and replacement value. Insurance audits go from a weekend project to a 30-second CSV export.
Low-stock alerts for consumables
Set a minimum on batteries, memory cards, and gels. metItem emails you the moment you drop below — no more midnight runs to B&H before a Sunday wedding.
What teams like yours say
“I used to lose a couple hundred bucks of gear every year — cables, batteries, the small stuff. After we labeled everything and put it in metItem, the studio-wide loss for the year was one lens cap.”
“Check-in/check-out changed how we run shoots. The second assistant scans gear out of the cage, scans it back in at end of day. If something doesn't come back, we know before the client van leaves.”
“Insurance renewal used to take me a full day of digging through receipts. This year I exported a CSV from metItem with serial numbers, dates, and values, and the broker had everything they needed.”
Names and studio details anonymized at the request of the customers quoted.
Stop losing gear. Start tracking it.
