GigBag Gear Checklist Manager 4+

For musicians, filmmakers, photographers, and videographers.

More than just a checklist, GigBag is a database of all your equipment, synced to the iCloud and across all iOS devices logged into your account.

One of GigBag’s standout features is its ability to group equipment:
By Category …cameras, lenses, tripods, microphones, audio mixers, lighting, etc.
By Rig …Full Band, Duo, Major shoot, corporate kit, etc.
By Custom … e.g. actions such as Planning, Preparation, On-Site, Post Production

This organizational structure mirrors the needs of professionals in the film, photo, and music industry, where professionals manage a wide range of instruments, amps, and gear. Whether it’s a guitarist tracking down specific pedals or a filmmaker locating a critical lens, GigBag Checklist adapts to fit each user’s unique inventory and To-Do needs.

The in-depth item profiles within GigBag Checklist are extensive . For every piece of equipment, you can store essential details such as brand, model, serial number, value, and even an image and/or technical schematic. Additionally, there are two customizable text fields that can be used for critical reminders and quick-use guides.

The CheckList view is a particular favorite, especially for its versatility in pre-event checks. As each piece of equipment passes a “sound check,” it automatically drops off the list. Once all checks are complete— for example, checking out all equipment— you can reset the list to check-in everything, or focus on another setup stage/checklist. This makes it easy to prepare for multi-step processes without losing track of what’s been covered—a function that’s as useful in music setups as it is in film.

GigBag’s “event planning” capabilities can be another game-changer. As well as a database of gear, you can develop a database of events/actions.

Recurring events, like routine shoots or performances, can be saved as Checklist templates. This way, frequent setups become smoother over time, with each template refining your prep and setup process for specific events.

GigBag Checklist goes beyond simple equipment tracking. It’s a powerful tool for managing complex setups, improving efficiency, and reducing stress during production. For anyone who manages substantial gear inventory and needs to keep organized when under pressure—whether in film, music, or live events—this program is an investment that will pay off in saved time and smoother setups.
