I tryto wear all black. It hides you in reflections and often with these sensitive cameras a backlight hiting you will add fill and or a color cast if you wear bright colors. Seriously.

I operate in the nude. I feel very natural that way.

Hey Rick, You probably already use a tool belt, I always do when dping, which usually means Im also rigging lights and such, anyways, I use a vinyl toolbelt, with standard tools, clips, clamps, and I even have enough room for a gobo or two. I took a wire and ran it through my gaffer and electrical tapes, it hangs off the belt. (different sizes, colors) so I have easy access. saves a ton of time.
As far as clothes, I walk around set in a g-string and sandals. haha, naw--seriously though, I like cargo pants, big pockets, loose fit, I use one of those little landscape pads to kneel on (about 8"x 12"long) It can hang off my tripod when not using it. Knee pads, or better known where I live as (provincetown sneakers, anyone thats been to Cape cod, will understand, lol) are not very practicle, it seems when getting up and down a few times, they ride up, and and bring your pants up too. I like to use any type or natural bug spray, im not to keen on spraying deet into my skin. Shoes, anything light weight, and comfy, usually sneakers though, or boots in the winter. Shirts should be fairly tight fitting, you dont want loose sleeves hanging down, hitting hot lamps, or getting caught on things. ALWAYS bring a change of clothes though, So many times I forgot to check the weather and the skies have opened, working in wet clothes sucks bad.
I imagine you know all I posted, but I figured my info might help a noob
