Tripod

What is in the equipment kit and how to borrow.

Checking - Out

KSL's current loanable technology collection are found at the Tech Table, directly to the right of the Service Center. Staff will retrieve your desired kit if available and check it out at the Service Center with an appropriate CWRU or CIM ID. 

Available for checkout to CWRU & CIM students, faculty, and staff at the Service Center. CWRU Alumni, CIA, Public or Visiting patrons are not permitted to check out loanable equipment kits. 

Treatment of Equipment

We understand that accidents occur. Please treat the kit as if it were your own. Let us know if you have lost or damaged the equipment. You're only financially responsible for the loss or damages, not the entire kit.

Housekeeping

Think how you'd like to have received the tripod; physically clean. You are passing on the equipment to the next hands. Be courteous.

Post-Use Cleaning

We expect the kit to return to KSL in the state it was checked out in: CLEAN. Staff are NOT responsible for removing mud, dirt, salt build up, sand, or anything of the sort from the tripod or equipment bag. If a kit is returned to the front desk not cleaned, it will be handed back and remain on your account until returned clean.

Cleaning Procedure:

1. Submerge the dirty item (s) in clean water and scrub with fingers or a soft towel to remove any physical debris.

→ If the kit was used in salt water, submerge multiple times and vigorously swish about.

***Salt Build-Up is extremely important to remove because it corrodes equipment easily and reduces their longevity.

2. When item (s) are visually clean, hand dry or air dry completely. 

→ Putting wet or damp items into the kit will result in mildew or mold growth, and the user will be held responsible for damages.
