MUSIC VIDEO: Long kit list! Could someone decode?

[Nick Navaro]

Hello

I was on this one-day video shoot which was budgeted around £20k.... I'm trying to learn/decipher what all the kit is.... Would someone be brave enough to write a description under each item of what it is (if not clear) and what it does? It would take some time, but sure it would be helpful for a lot of people... Who actually orders it all? Is it the producer alone? Or a combination of producer/dop/gaffer?

This is the video > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dgimjMhAIk

This is the list! Thanks!

I don't see anything really obscure in this list, and if there's something you don't know Google can usually tell you. Maybe posting specific questions would be a better way to go.

I did ask a couple specific questions. I know what the camera body is, lenses, batteries, flash cards, hard-drive and monitor. Although some of the camera accessories, grip stuff and lights I don't know. And what specific purpose they would have. I'm sure if I googled this lot for example

google will not say exactly what they are what their function is on a video/film set...
