Kit register for insurance
Every camera, lens, light and stand you own, with its serial number, when and where you bought it, what you paid and what it would cost to replace. Ready as a tidy PDF or a spreadsheet whenever your insurer, or a claim, asks for it.
Photograph the receipt and it is read for you. Say it is kit, add the serial numbers, and each piece goes on the register with the date, the supplier and the price.
Kit bought years ago goes in the same way, from an old receipt or none at all. Older receipts can be marked as already claimed, so nothing is counted twice for tax.
Choose the columns your insurer wants and group it by category with subtotals. Make a PDF to send, or a spreadsheet your broker can sort and add to.
One per piece, so two of the same light are two lines with two serials, and a theft report lists exactly what went.
Keep what you paid next to what it would cost to buy again today, so the sum insured is based on fact, not a guess.
The supplier and the date bought, with the receipt kept alongside, so proof of ownership is one click away.
Note when each warranty ends, and see it before you send a faulty piece for repair.
Sold, lost or written off kit is marked as gone and left off the printed register, or kept on it if you prefer.
Each piece gets a code that prints on the register and on its label, so the list and the kit on the shelf always match.
Code, brand, serial number, what is included with it, the date bought, who from, the price paid, the replacement value, the warranty date, the status and notes. Pick the ones you need each time.
Yes. The same register comes as a PDF or as a spreadsheet that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, with real dates and totals that add up as you change it.
No. Kit can be added without a receipt. Where you do have one, it is kept with the piece, which helps if you ever need to prove ownership.
Yes. The register and the printed list are part of Solo. Pro adds labels, scanning kit in and out, and rental tracking for kit you hire out.
Insurers ask for different things, so check with yours. The register gives the details most ask for: the item, serial number, date bought and value.
BidWrap is free while it is being tested by a small group of photographers and videographers. Ask for an invite and have your kit list done before your next renewal.
