Equipment

Your gear is a business. Track it like one.

Monitor every camera, lens, and light across projects. Track investment payoff, co-ownership splits, and rental income as your equipment earns revenue.

More than an inventory list

Most equipment trackers are glorified spreadsheets. Production Slate treats your gear as a business asset — tracking purchase cost, depreciation, rental revenue, and payoff progress so you know exactly how your investments are performing.

Master inventory

One source of truth for every piece of gear you own. Pull from it into any project without re-entering specs or rates.

Investment tracking

Log purchase price, date, and category for every piece of gear. See total invested and how much has been earned back through rentals.

Co-ownership splits

Bought gear with a partner? Set ownership percentages and track each person’s contribution and payoff progress independently.

Rental income logging

Record rental revenue per item. See which gear is paying for itself and which is sitting idle.

Portfolio dashboard

A bird’s-eye view of your entire equipment portfolio — total invested, total earned, payoff percentage, and ROI per category.

Sub-components

Some gear is a kit — a camera body has a battery plate, a viewfinder, a top handle, and 4 lenses. Track each component under its parent so nothing gets left at the rental house.

Equipment quote PDF

Generate a branded equipment quote PDF with day rates, sub-items, and totals — ready to send to producers as a sub-rental package.

XLSX bulk import

Migrate from your existing spreadsheet in one upload. Auto-detects headers, maps categories, and creates everything in one batch.

Connected to your productions

Your equipment isn't separate from your productions — it's part of them. Production Slate connects your gear to your project budgets and lets you share your kit with trusted collaborators.

  • Equipment day rates auto-populate budget line items for each production
  • Categorize by camera, lenses, lighting, audio, grip, and more
  • Track owned vs. rental vs. sub-rent costs per project
  • Share your equipment list with other Production Slate users
  • Import equipment purchases from XLSX spreadsheets in bulk
  • Revenue reconciliation tools for matching income to specific gear

Whether you're a solo DP with a camera and three lenses or a production company with a full grip truck, Production Slate scales to your gear.

Owner-operators

Track your personal kit, log rentals to productions, and see exactly when each piece of gear pays for itself.

Split ownership between partners. Each person sees their share of costs, revenue, and payoff progress.
