Description

MyGearVault is the best way to “Input • Organize • Protect” your gear!

MyGearVault is a FREE app designed to help photographers and videographers from professionals, to amateurs, to even hobbyists, know what they have and what it’s worth.

Quickly and securely input all of your gear into your personal vault. We’ve made it easy for you to store all the important information about your gear. Store and verify your serial number, picture of your receipt, date purchased and much more. Even if your item doesn’t have a serial number ,you can still add it to your vault.

We know you have a lot of gear, that’s why we help you organize it in a few unique and effective ways. First, each item can be saved into a specific category (i.e. Cameras, Lens, Computers, Data Storage, etc.). When you click on a category, you will see the total value of items based on the gear inside. Secondly, you can create custom kits of gear, like a wedding kit, travel kit, studio kit, video kit and more. This is a great way to know the value of gear you’re taking with you.

Protect your gear. Get piece of mind that your gear has a level of protection when it’s stored inside your vault. For example, if your camera is stolen, simply click the “stolen” button inside the app and your serial number will be entered into our stolen database. If someone tries to verify your lens as their own, we will be notified.

We at MyGearVault understand the importance of protecting your gear. That’s why we’re working with licensed professionals with access to top-rated insurance companies to find a solution that fits your needs. Right now inside MyGearVault you can take a short questionnaire to receive an insurance quote. And in about one business day, you can have full comprehensive coverage from one of our licensed insurance partners.

Great but..

Love this app and have used for several years now. However, since last update the main total spent has disappeared from the all kits view and I’m getting some freezes after adding new items. Please fix in next update!

Good Idea But Confusing At First Use

I didn’t understand certain elements of this app at first, but after adding more kit I soon realised more categories are created automatically as you add more kit. It seemed more logical to me to add kit to categories rather than categorise kit as it’s added, but that just may be my IT brain! There was confusion trying to work out what the difference is between kit and gear, and the ready examples of gear are a little weird. I’m not sure people would categorise their gear in the way set out by the examples. After a while though, I realised it is a very useful app and it’s free so moaning about it in any non constructive way seems very unfair to me. Well done Jared, all in all very good and will only get better.

Disappointing

It doesn’t appear usable in landscape format, so not designed for IPad. Also, requires a login for some reason.

Looks cool but...

There is no way to have a local gear vault as you have to be logged in to use the app ... uninstalled directly. ## edit ## Hi Jared, I understand the need to save MGV in the cloud but we can save apps data directly in iCloud without giving away our email address.

Amazing given that it is free

For UK users this is basically just a useful app for cataloging equipment. The insurance element is still US only. Given that it is free a lot of good work has gone into this app. My only criticisms are that you can only add one photo of an item (it is also possible to add one of the serial number and one of the receipt in different sections), I would like to be able to add more images. Also in order to view all the information you have entered you have to edit an item because the summary page is too brief. Lastly a few more categories (or custom ones) would be very helpful, such as Software and Samples. The app does receive fairly regular bug fixes so it looks like support is continued.

Great idea, still needs work

Having recently been burgled and lost a camera and lens combo, discovering this app was very timely. The concept is fantastic but having had to deal with insurance companies there is a major flaw in the pricing information held for your equipment. Unless I have completely missed it, there needs to be an additional field which allows you to enter a “replacement value“. The price you pay for piece of kit is never going to be the same as the replacement value, as I discovered to my detriment when the insurance company failed to pay out in full for a claim. Currency fluctuations can massively affect replacement values and if you find that you are under insured, the insurance company can take you to the cleaners.

Thank you

Using this a lot now. Extremely useful ap and amazingly helpful particularly on location. I’m a pro cinematographer in constant need of tweaking kits and this is the only real ap out there for guys like me. Can’t recommend enough. Only reason I’ve given 4 and not 5 stars is because I can’t print out the pics stored in the ap with my lists. Heard this was going to update soon. Please hurry to add this feature.

Great!

Have Finally decided that I need to have a record of all my gear, I was going to just do my own spreadsheet......then I found this app which will do it all and more! Thanks Mr Fro 👌🏻

Really cool

Amazing app to have all your stuff catalogued in one place. And a piece of cake to use. Don't know how it would work with the different currencies but would be nice to have a "current market value" estimate built in so you could decide if you wanted to sell your gear to buy new stuff!

Great app although needs more development

Good app for cataloging your gear, seems stable but could do with more development to increase flexibility. Custom categories needed.
