AspectReady.
Professional Equipment Audits & PAT Testing for Production Companies
Own your kit? Let’s make sure it’s ready.
More and more TV and film production companies are investing in their own gear, to work flexibly, and to have full control over their productions.
But the reality is this: if your equipment isn’t properly monitored or maintained, those benefits can disappear fast. That’s where AspectReady comes in.
What is AspectReady?
AspectReady is a dedicated in-house equipment audit and compliance service built specifically for production companies and alike that own filming equipment but don’t have a full-time kit manager.
We check, document and test your kit, so you always know it’s complete, compliant and ready to go.
Why it matters
Without regular checks, even the best gear can become unreliable:
- Parts go missing
- Firmware becomes outdated
- Cables get mixed up or damaged
- Key components get overlooked
- Mains powered items goes untested
And because responsibility often sits with someone who already has another job, kit maintenance becomes an afterthought, or worse, never happens.
What you get with AspectReady
Equipment Audit & Asset Register
We document your entire inventory, listing each item by make, model and serial number and create a carnet-ready register for overseas travel or insurance.
Firmware & Functionality Checks
We ensure your cameras, audio gear, lighting and accessories are updated where possible, tested and fit for purpose. If something’s not right, we’ll flag it.
Missing Components & Compatibility Gaps Identified
You’ll receive a list of missing or problematic items, with suggestions and optional quotes to restore full function.
