Kevin Kisling Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi everyone! I'd like to get some thoughts on walkaways and what everyone does with their gear. I've only had a couple and each time I've packed up my gear at the end of the night and took it home. We were at a house, which the homeowner still occupied each night, so it made me wary. If we were on a secured stage, I might have left it and felt more comfortable about doing so. I do have insurance on my gear. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject! Thanks!

Brennan Maxwell Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Each situation is different. I think if you're on a major production with a proper camera truck or on a real stage then I'd probably leave the rig. Trust your gut. Ultimately, do you want to deal with an insurance company and be without your rig until you get a check in the event something terrible happens? That's how I usually find my answer.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted April 16, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I usually ask the ACs, "what are you doing with the camera bodies and lenses?" That is where I want my rig. I've seen "walk aways" where Production has the Cameras locked up. Others are truly left in place as is with a space blanket thrown over them. Also, make sure you have an insurance certificate from the Production naming you so its on their dime should they underestimate the security. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
