It's the primary of two bodies and the most valuable item in a 23-piece kit — and it has no receipt, no serial recorded and no photos on file. Your A7III has no recorded value at all. Fifteen minutes of admin would make both claimable.
Drop the manual, extended-warranty PDF, or a customs declaration here. Anything you'd hate to look for later.
Accepts PDF, JPG, PNG or HEIC — most insurers want a PDF invoice, so that's read the same as a photo of a paper receipt.
Drop a photo or PDF here and Spool reads the vendor, date, invoice number and amount off it — the way it did for your Rhino cage, side handle and VB99 battery.
Spool has the make, model, serial, shutter count, box and accessory list, purchase date and six sample frames. It writes the post; you price it.
Across both bodies you own 12mm, 16–35, 28–70, 35mm, 70–180 and 70–200. The Tamron 70–180 and the Sony 70–200 do nearly the same job, and the Sigma 28–70 sits between the pair you already carry. Nothing is missing from your range — what's missing is a reason to carry three of them at once.

Most bodies and many lenses write their firmware version into EXIF. Spool reads it off frames you already imported — no connection to the camera needed — and compares it against the current release.
Version checking needs a maintained reference of current releases per manufacturer — a small, slow-moving table, unlike price feeds. Items that never write metadata show as unknown rather than guessed.
A SmallRig VB99 Pro is linked to this body. Cycle counts only appear if the body reports them — Spool won't ask you to log them by hand.
Spool recognizes a card by its volume name and the folder structure the camera writes, then remembers which body it belongs to. Second insert onward, it knows before you tell it.
Write speed is measured during your actual imports — not read off the label. Cards slow down as they age and fill; the number here is what your card really does in your reader.
The A7V writes 4K120 at roughly 100 MB/s sustained. Your V30 card measures 62 MB/s — fine for stills and 4K30, but it will drop frames on high-framerate video. For that you want a V90 SD or a CFexpress Type A card in slot 1. Card class markings are the confusing part: V30 / V60 / V90 is the number that matters for video, not the UHS-I / UHS-II logo or the "170 MB/s" read speed on the front.
Advice is scoped to bodies in your vault. Spool won't recommend a card format your cameras can't take.
Repeated read errors, sudden speed drops or a card that keeps needing a reformat get recorded against the card, not the shoot — so you can retire it before it eats a job.
Teal means it's in your vault.
Your range is covered end to end, 12mm to 200mm. The honest recommendation is the opposite of a purchase: the Tamron 70–180 duplicates the Sony 70–200. Once usage data exists you'll know which one earns its place, and the other is worth listing.
Put an item on watch and Spool tracks its street price, tells you when it drops below your number, and shows what it's done over the last year. Recommendations stay tied to what's in your vault — it won't sell you a mount you don't shoot.
Your own notes on this body — custom button layout, which card slot you use for what, quirks worth remembering before the next job.
