Shoot planning · v2

Shot-List Generator

Choose the shoot, lay out the route, and send yourself a field checklist. Real estate, creator video, portrait, product, or event.

Shoot planner

Build the route, work the list.

Choose the kind of shoot, add its route items in order, trim the shots you do not need, then use the boxes as your field progress.

Choose a shoot

Start with the job, not a blank list.

Each mode uses a different vocabulary and starter route. Switching modes clears the current draft so two shoots never get mixed together.

Step 1

Tap an option to add it. Tap it again to remove it. Use the small plus for extra copies.

After the checklist, make the shoot easier to repeat

A field list solves the order problem. The next step is matching the route to the guide, the gear, and the rules that affect the shoot.

Gear path

Gear that keeps a shoot moving

Start with the camera and support you can use across more than one kind of shoot. The live gear panel above narrows this further after you build a route.

Before you leave the calculator

Use the result to name the real limit: light, stability, focal length, or focus distance.

Fit check

Read best-for and skip-if before the retailer click, so the item has to earn its place.

Buying order

Compare similar gear and deal history first, then use the retailer button when the choice is clear.

Product links may earn a commission at no cost to you. Use the calculator first, buy only if the gear solves the actual problem.
