If you're shooting often, it can be pretty easy to fall into a rut. Maybe that's just me, but when I feel like I have to shoot, which is often, it can be a challenge to force creativity. I don't have access to a studio all of the time, and even when I do that space doesn't necessarily get my creative juices flowing anymore. It's too familiar; feels too safe.
Since launching in 2015, KitSplit has become a popular peer-to-peer rental network for camera gear. But gear owners have been exposed to thefts through the service, and after a recent pair of $3,500+ thefts, KitSplit has just announced a Theft Protection Owner Guarantee, the first coverage of its kind.
I first heard of KitSplit about a year ago and thought it was a great idea. Especially living in New York, everything is so accessible. Browsing through the site and seeing what type of equipment was available, I saw that there were a lot of high-end RED Epic cameras and digital cameras, but there wasn’t a lot of film equipment. I have such a big collection of film photography equipment that I figured why not -- I could possibly corner the film camera rental market on KitSplit.
