Gaffer Kit

[Whiteside Production]

So what does everyone have in their Gaffers/Grip Kit?
I'm just curious to know...and want to make sure I got everything.

I have yet to use much of it, but I built my kit to be small, but functional.

-I have about 3000 watts of Britek lights with soft boxes
-Three different Lanternlocks to mount Chinese lanterns to C-stands. Nice soft light. I also have a bunch of random bulbs to use with these.
-Cobra 2 Plus crane.
-High Hat dolly with a 6 foot section of track and a 10 ft. section as well
-I don't know if it counts as grip, but I include it in my support kit, but I have a Magicqam stabilizer.
-A ditty bag with lots of little things like plug adapters, gaffer tape, etc.
-Sandbags. I cheaped out and need to upgrade these things. Very, very important.
-About 3 French flags.
-6 c-stands with 4 various heads.
-Cases for just about everything.

I know there is more, but that's the basic list. Just big enough to do most interior jobs, but small enough to fit into the back of a mid-sized SUV. Now all I have to do is get good at using all the stuff.

Best,

J.

Aside from the lighting equipment itself...

Gaffer tape... lots of it.
Sticky back velcro. It has thousands of uses.

The adapters you can screw into a light socket and then plug in an extension cord.
Two 4'x4' pieces of FomeCore, one black, one white.
Stringers (extension cords), lots of stringers.
Wire nuts for quick repairs.
Current tester.
Super clamps.
