I used my Arri kit on a shoot last week And I can't belive I ever shot anything without pro lights before! What can I say lighting is everything. Talk about giving the DVX100 something to work with. Can you say sweeeeet! Thanks for all of your tips guys and gals! The produer thought I had done lights for years. This was my first official DP gig! 8)

Re: Arri light kit ROCKS!.
I got a good deal on it! It is the Arri softbank 1 kit.
John just tell her she will be the center of all your attention. You will need someone to practice on! ;D remember what filmmaker58 said" Buy the best, then it will only hurt once. Instead of everytime you pull it out. 8) I love that quote!

IS this the one?
Series D Softbank kits are designed for use with modern digital video cameras. The total wattage has been reduced for these more light sensitive cameras with no loss of control or light quality. Arri Fresnels with their wide flood to spot ratio are easy to control and the Video ProXS Softbank is great for interviews and the ideal size for tight locations. Try using a piece of opal or frost in the filter frame on the Fresnel to completely fill the Softbank and reduce the light level.

Hey John,
I just got an EZ FX jib with a remote controlled pan/tilt head and six foot extension kit.
The moves you can make are so fluid and awesome.
Better warn your wife... (and loan officer)

There should be a 'warning/caution' lable on the side of the camera, like booze & cigarettes. ;D
The first accessory is free.

Re: Arri light kit ROCKS!.
It's not the only downside, they're also less flexible, in that you can never get a good punch of hard light out of any type of fluorescent fixture. Hard light is a vital tool towards shaping a scene, and if all you had were fluo's, you'd never have access to hard light. You can always put a softbox on a tungsten hardlight, but you can't put a "hard box" on a softlight!
So, some of each. Fluo's are by far the most desirable key lights for interviews. Sticking someone under a tungsten 2,000-watt Rifa will melt their skin off, whereas putting them under a Kino Flo Diva will give you just as lovely results, but a much more comfortable working environment.
