End of day: Scan rentals with a quick app or sheet.
Serial numbers
Condition notes
Who's responsible
No more "lost" cameras or lenses. Zero disputes with rental houses! 📸
✅ Hack 2: Bulletproof On-Location Storage
Locked pelicans or cages overnight
Designated "gear zone" away from traffic
Assign a PA as nightly guardian
Theft & accidental damage? Slashed overnight.

Before "action":
