5 Unusual Filmmaking Tools for 2025

[@REMY.C.]

- swiss knife with solid blade, 2 or 3 types of screwdrivers or a pocket multitool.
- blower and a big makeup brush or a photo one, never go out without those unless I take a single lens.
- cables and usb battery, size depends on what I'm going out with.

Was thinking of getting one of those smoke machines. You definitely sold me on it

That light is crazy, usb-c power must be so handy. The little softbox is cute af haha

8:30 I am using the Ulanzi L023, it is 50W and it has internal battery which lasts 50min at max output... :D. I also made a custom spot modifier for it on a 3D printer and it is my favorite tool from that year.

He's back! Love it mate, can you travel with the smoke ninja or you put it in your hold as it's got liquid in?

[@jok7837]

Hi James - you say get a smoke genie - but in your hand is the smoke ninja. They are different products - is the smoke ninja good enough for video - ie give enough output or is the more expensive genie better for longer output? Be great to hear your take.
