You spent years building your kit. When it's not on your own shoots, it can be earning. Cine Tracker helps you keep track of every camera, lens, and light, flag a booking as a rental at your own day rates, and send a clean invoice you can track from sent to paid. Conflict detection means you never rent out the lens you need on Saturday.
Everything below works today, except where marked coming soon, for the shooter who treats their kit like a business.
01
Full Inventory With Custom Fields
Cameras, lenses, lights, audio, grip, and expendables, all organized by category, manufacturer, location, and vendor. Define your own fields per category (serial, firmware, condition notes) and they show up everywhere the item does.
02
Rental Pricing & Invoices
Flag any booking as a rental, set per-item price overrides, add fees and discounts, and send a branded pay page. Clients pay by Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, check, or cash, and you see the moment it's viewed and paid.
COMING SOON Connect your own Stripe account so clients can pay by card and the funds land directly in your bank.
03
Bookings With Real Conflict Detection
Two clients want the same Alexa on the same weekend? Flagged the moment the second booking is submitted, with overlap windows shown down to the hour. Booking calendar, week view, upcoming/out/past tabs, iCal subscription.
04
Reusable Kits & Booking Scripts
Build a "documentary run-and-gun package" once and drop it into any booking. Or write a script like [Camera handheld -tripod 2], and Cine Tracker resolves it against real availability, complete with conflict warnings, every time it runs.
05
Shooting Schedules & Production Budgets
Plan your own productions with a real stripboard covering scenes, shooting days, crew, talent, and locations, plus printable call sheets. Add a department-based budget with estimated vs. actual line items, all linked to the gear booking.
06
Project Invite Links For Collaborators
Share a project with a director, producer, or crew member via a link, no account setup friction. They see the gear list, schedule, and budget you choose to expose, and you stay in control of the inventory.
07
Pickup / Return Windows & Check-In
Lock pickups and returns to specific days, restrict overnight loans, and flag late returns. Returns flow into a review queue so nothing gets quietly checked back in without eyes on the condition.
08
Isolated Database Per Business
Your inventory and client data live in their own database — not shared with anyone else's account, not accessible to other users of the platform. Your gear list and client relationships stay yours.
09
CSV Import, Tasks & Calendar Feeds
Bring your existing inventory in via CSV with column mapping. Track to-dos and prep lists. Subscribe to your booking calendar from Google, Apple, or Outlook with a per-user secret URL.
The Flow
Request to out-the-door. In four fast steps.
01
REQUEST GEAR FROM AVAILABILITY
Requesters browse real-time availability across cameras, lenses, audio, and grip, filtered by category, location, and the class or project they're booking against. They build a kit, pick pickup & return times, and submit.
02
CONFLICTS & APPROVALS, HANDLED
Conflicts are caught automatically before anything lands in your queue. Faculty (education) or staff (rentals) approve in one click — no back-and-forth, no manual cross-checking.
03
CHECK OUT AT THE CAGE
Gear is staged before the pickup window opens. The booking sheet, printable or on-screen, shows every item and kit resolved against live inventory. Sign off, mark it out — the whole handoff takes seconds.
04
RETURN & SIGN OFF
Returns flow into an approval queue so nothing gets quietly checked back in without eyes on it. Condition is logged, gear is cleared, and the record is closed.
