Camera List
Make the camera list before prep, then send the rental house an order it can quote and pull.
Make separate lists for main unit, splinter unit, or specialty cameras. Set the prep and return dates, add the camera crew, and write down the quantity, make, model, and notes for every item.
What goes on the list

From tech scout to final order
Review the Camera Order Before It Goes to the Rental House
Tech scouts often uncover equipment the camera package didn't account for. Review every addition before sending the final order to the rental house.
- Review the item, make, quantity, unit, and notes for every line.
- Separate main unit, splinter unit, and specialty camera equipment.
- Keep location-specific camera additions with the rest of the order.
- Print the camera order or email it directly to the camera department and rental house.
