Why not get a list going of GRIP KIT items, different items people use in their grip kit or as grip equipment that help them get the job done. Anything would be welcome, it'd be helpful to explain what the items does, why you use it, how you use it, and anything else you would like to mention. I especially I am interested in different clamps, there are so many, which are the most useful and how do they work?

Does anyone have an suggestions for alternative lightings and grip kit cases? Also is there any place to buy FOAM LINING? The foam doesnt have to be the same quality of a pelican case, any type of soft foam which can be cut for lights to sit inside.
