GearHost

Loan out camera gear (bodies, lenses and accessories) at any workshop and always know who has what, even through constant swaps. Scan a QR sticker to assign, swap or return, watch a live dashboard of what's out, and keep a full audit history so nothing walks off.

Run the day from your phone: GearHost is a native iPhone & iPad app.

What it does

Scan, don't search

Every item carries a QR sticker: tap to assign, swap or hand it back in one move. No spreadsheets.

Live “who has what”

A running view of everything that's out right now, who has it and for how long, updated as you scan.

Cameras to accessories

Stock each event from a ready-made catalog: bodies and lenses plus tripods, lighting, flashes and more. Use the built-in Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fuji brands or add your own.

Search & filter

Find any item by model, serial or holder, and filter to just what's available or what's out.

Print-ready QR labels

Generate and print a sticker sheet for your kit; scanning a label jumps straight to that item.

Nothing goes missing

A full, timestamped history per item means you always know who had what, and what's still out at wrap.

A look inside

The dashboard you run the day from, your gear at a glance, and the QR labels you print.

One app, everywhere

Web and iPhone and iPad

GearHost runs in your browser via the Hub and as a native app on iPhone and iPad. Your gear, events, attendees and loan history sync automatically across all of them: scan a code on your phone, see it update on the web.

One subscription covers both.

Subscribe once on the web Hub (or via the App Store) and you get access on web and iOS. No second purchase, no separate plans, the same login everywhere.

How it works

From kit table to wrap, under control.

1

Create your event

Spin up a workshop and pick the manufacturer: Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, or add your own.

2

Stock it & print labels

Add bodies, lenses and accessories from the catalog, then print QR stickers for each.

3

Run the day from your phone

Scan to hand gear out, swap lenses and take it back; the record stays straight.

Run your next event with GearHost

It's part of the Shutter Host suite: one subscription unlocks it, plus every other tool.
