New Site to Register Gear/Serial Numbers, Report Stolen Gear, Look up Serials

[journal]

I thought this site I just signed up for may be useful to people on this forum.

 

It's called Lenstag (so obviously originally thought of for photogs/video people, but I think applicable to all production gear).

 

I haven't gone through and registered all my gear yet, but I like how it has the options to report gear stolen by serial number & to "verify" gear by taking a picture of the serial on your gear and uploading it.

 

Thought you all may dig it.

It's a great idea!

I typically call the manufacturer to check a serial number of used gear from a questionable source, in the hope that if it's stolen, the victim will have reported it.

It'd be nice to have a central database.
