Shoot Checklist
A customisable checklist for every shoot type, never forget a lens or accessory
Nothing is worse than discovering on location that you left a lens or battery at home. Build a checklist for each shoot type, tick off what you need and head out with peace of mind.

Shoot Checklist: how it works
The Shoot Checklist keeps track of what you bring to a shoot, organised by shoot type. Set up a template once for a portrait session or product job, and next time everything is ready to review. Useful when you switch between different assignments regularly and want to skip the mental inventory.
How the checklist works
You build templates per shoot type. A wedding job needs different gear than a studio product session, so you manage those lists separately. Each template is fully editable: add items, remove them, or rename them to match your own workflow.
On the evening before, you run through the list and tick off what goes into the bag. The tool does not carry over ticks from previous sessions, so every shoot starts clean. That way you avoid treating something as packed just because it was there last time.
Where this saves you real time
If you shoot the same type of job repeatedly, a template pays off fast. You think it through once, lock it in, and from then on it is just a matter of checking boxes.
Photographers who work with assistants or second shooters can use the list as a shared reference. No more messages about which strobes are coming or whether the backdrop stand fits in the car.
Frequently asked questions
Can I create a checklist based on location instead of shoot type?
The tool uses whatever names you give your templates, so calling one 'Outdoor urban location' works just as well. You decide the structure.
How do I make sure I do not forget a lens when I accept a last-minute booking?
That is exactly when a saved template helps most. Open the right type, run down the list, and grab what is missing. Faster than trying to reconstruct your usual kit from memory.
Does the checklist handle multiple camera bodies with separate batteries and cards?
Add as many items as you need, including two bodies with their own accessories listed separately. The list reflects whatever you put in it.
