THE WHOLE TOOLKIT IN 90 SECONDS
From gear list to wheels-up.
Add your gear once, pack a trip in one tap, catch problems at home, and hand your crew the answers. Press play, sound on.
What one tap does for you
23
items packed
Each one lands in its usual case. No list to retype.
5
cases weighed
See every case's weight against its limit before you leave home.
10
batteries spotted
Spares packed in a checked case get flagged so they go in your carry-on.
2
problems caught
An overweight case and batteries in the wrong bag, fixed at home.
By hand, that's a spreadsheet, a luggage scale and a battery-rules search before every trip. With the toolkit you set it up once, and every trip after that is one tap.
How it works
- Once
1. Add your gear once
Type it, import a spreadsheet, or just say it: “FX3, two V-mounts, the 416.” Weights and battery ratings fill in for known models.
- Once
2. Pack each case once
Put gear in your cases one time. The toolkit remembers what usually goes in each case.
- Every trip
3. Every trip: one tap
New job? Pick your cases. Everything packs itself, and weights and batteries are checked.
On the road, it keeps saving you time
Crew stop asking "where's the 85mm?"
Share the trip with a 6-digit code. No account or app needed. They search, and see the case number and who's carrying it.
