i love mine. with strobe and beauty dish for outdoor family shoots on all terrain it is perfect...but weighs about 20 lbs. so I hire a strong guy to carry and position it.
Hi I am a veteran gaffer in western Canada. I am teaching a pilot course for film lighting in rural communities in BC. I love this video and was curious if i could use it for a teaching aide as part of the online curriculum? John Helme
So after the stand series (are you going to do steal monsters, high lifts ..too?), it would be nice to have also a series about coverings .. "bounces, silk, grids and stuff." I feel like knowing only the half of possibilitys. Also, in your opinion, what is the best way to rig a camera topshot if you are not allowed to drill anything into the wall? And also we are on a low budget. Low means really low not a 100.000 bugs kind of low. It´s a student´s production... Thank you so much.
Cornelia Ohnmacht after the stands, I plan on showing a couple lights I have, how to pack an arri kit, basically some electrical. Everything I've shown on the show thus far has been my personal gear. So I'll have to rent stuff and there will be stuff I'll even have to research before showing as the gear is frequently used, I've just never touched it. Like trusses for example. It will all definitely get covered eventually. As far as the camera situation, are you using something DSLR equivalent or an actual video camera, or film? Also what does your frame look like? Are we looking at a table? Can we see the floor? Do you need to see the whole world? That kind of thing. Because right off the bat I would say start with a wall spreader or tube stretcher. Most grip and electric houses rent it out for about five dollars a day. The tube stretcher might be about $15-20 a day. But really the question lies in what you were seeing in the shot. If you want to look me up on Facebook or Twitter and send me pictures, maybe I can help you from there
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-cam channels.
Well awesome man, glad I could entertain ya!
@@GripTips it’s more than entertainment at this point. It’s a Grip Tips movement. A Grip Tips lifestyle.
I really enjoy your channel. It's crazy how the same things have a different name here in Belgium!

I just bought the Matthews slider stand (80lb capacity). Well worth a look.
Avidcomp oh it's totally on my list. I was browsing them in my local grip house
these tips are gold! thanks the great videos!
Thanks for the tip on the floppy. Holy crap on the shipping though. What are those little ties called that you have your cords tied to the light with?
Time to update your affiliate links! Great channel super glad I discovered it.

Sure John! A lot of colleges do this as I’m finding out. ☺️. Thanks for asking!
What is the thickest diameter when closed? I'm asking for cases (like skb 4213-12) or making wooden racks. Is it like 3-4" or more like 5-6"?
