For film schools & media programs
A private equipment checkout for film schools, media programs and university AV departments. Students browse what the program owns, see what’s genuinely free on their dates and request it. Staff approve — and students never see a price.

A paper log or a shared sheet tells you what left, eventually. It can’t tell a student on Tuesday whether the camera is free on Friday — so they ask a technician, who is now the booking system.
With ProductionPal
Live availability in a members-only shop. Students check their dates themselves and request what’s free.
Today
Commercial rental tools put a day rate on every item and an invoice at the end. That’s confusing for a nineteen-year-old borrowing a tripod.
With ProductionPal
Students never see a price — no rental rates, quotes or invoices. The education plan lends; it doesn’t sell.
Today
Without a checkout trail tied to a person and a date, a cracked matte box is nobody’s. Repair history lives in someone’s memory.
With ProductionPal
Every checkout is tied to a named student and a date range, and repairs build each item’s service history.

WAITING FOR STAFF
Tascam DR-70D + boom
Student accounts are never seats. Enrol a whole cohort each September.
Students join with your school’s link or their school email domain.
Every checkout and return carries a name and a date.
Purchases and repair spend tracked — the number a department defends.
Import from a CSV or add items as you go, and choose which appear in the student shop.
If something is already spoken for they see it at once and pick an alternative.
Approve and the gear is reserved for those dates; decline with a note and the student knows why.
Checkouts tied to a student and a date range; repairs logged against the item.
You pay for the staff who run the cage. Students are always free and never counted.
Students book gear from a private shop and staff approve it. You pay for the staff who run the cage — student accounts are unlimited and free.

Includes 3 staff seats, then $25 per extra staff seat. Students are always free and never counted.
No. Student accounts are unlimited and free, and never counted as seats. The department pays $99 a month including 3 staff seats — the technicians, faculty and administrators who approve bookings and manage inventory — and $25 for each staff seat after that.
No. Students never see a price — no rental rates, quotes or invoices. The education plan has no invoicing or revenue for anyone, staff included; staff still see what gear cost to buy and repair, because that is the budget a department defends. Schools lend gear rather than renting it.
No. Availability is worked out across every approved booking and every pending request, so a clash shows as the student builds their list. Staff see it on the approval screen too.
No — it’s members-only. Students sign in with an account on your program to see it.
No. The education plan opens with a 14-day trial with no card. After that it is $99 a month for the department, including 3 staff seats.
Nothing is lost. Student accounts, past checkouts and maintenance history stay, so you can look back at last year’s damage before deciding what to replace.
