Hi,

Are there cloths that don't fly much in the wind when you tie them on ropes to cut down the sunlight. I heard its called perforated cloths. If there are such cloths what all types do they come as? (Black, Satin, Silver, etc) Are they available in India?

How would anyone posting advice here know the answer to that?  Unless of course, we have worked in India.

This is the part where you go off and make some calls or emails to grip rental businesses.

The first time you have a fully loaded grip cart or hamper of feeder cable try and roll off the edge, you'll wish you went for a bigger gate.

Give these a look: https://www.palfingerusa.com/

Internally the same, same blade width and thickness.  More than enough brass in the blade to carry the 20A and then some without melting down.  As Ed stated, the blade configuration is to prevent the unknowning from plugging a 20A into a 15A circuit.

OP hasn't reported back since the 10th of May??

Camera sitting on a soft mount on an amusement part ride, held only by straps? A bad trip for camera, camera op. and any and all patrons of the fairground. The idea screams out for a rigid speedrail rig.

There are also lavender silks as well.

Double ended halogen 500w?  Yes you can substitute a 300w globe of the same length.  Why not use ND or a scrim to knock down the output? Make certain the color temp isn't too low, as close to 3500 as you can find.

A lower voltage globe will have a very short and bright lifespan.  Don't do it.

Don't expect an answer from the guy.  He joined in Feb, but hasn't signed in since Feb 17.

Are you hanging that angle iron as  well?  I wouldn't be using those quick-grip clamps for that purpose.

It's not the wattage of the lamp, the socket will handle over 500 watts. It's the heat generated and the inability of the wiring to handle the heat of the bulb without melting. For short duration a 250w photoflood would be fine.

Remote head, maybe mounted to high-hat mounted upside down, affixed to a pair of wall spreaders spanning the hallway.

What do you want to know?

2x4 foot  flouro drop-in, lay-in, troffers, in a 30+ foot dolly move, you'll have 4 fixtures to re-lamp.  16 Kino tubes, possibly rent them.  177VAC is the ballast voltage, not the lamp voltage.  Store bought tubes or Kinos in those fixtures won't be a problem.

You aren't using a food stylist either. That is a factor which does affect the interplay of the light with the food being shot.

 

I think he is asking what the rate is at 1 and at 2

 

there are 10 to choose from.

Why would you ever need to know since the adjustment is by eye?

As described in the manual:

Frequency Selection
This feature allows fine-tuning of the frequency of the SkyPanel’s light output to adjust for slight flicker or roll bars that might occur when shooting at uncommon frame rates or shutter angles. Pick from 10 different frequencies that could reduce or eliminate small amounts of these image anomalies, while maintaining full control over intensity and color tuneability.

Your first image looks like a plastic knockoff of the Kant-Twist clamp. What does it do that any of the existing grip gear doesn't?

Use the casting and pins from a shabby looking used C-stand, substitute aluminum tubing from a metals supplier for the steel tubing.

Thank you David and Adrian! I'll check in with the Rag Place, pick up a 6x6 frame and go from there.

Try Highlight Film Works, local manufacturer of rags, appleboxes, etc., in Yonkers, NY area. Email is easiest: Phgrip01@aol.com He'll make any size flag or rag you want, with any fabric he has available. His 4x4 Ultrabounce floppies are great, better build quality than others. He does re-covers and repairs as well.

Wow somebody has a very stilted viewpoint of the state of lighting today. Since Kino has the bulbs manufactured to their specs, I'd think that they wouldn't want to cause a riot by suddenly making every Kino head obsolete.

A 1x1 Bi-color Astra Lightpanel is still neraly $1000, a Celebrity 250 $2800.

Funny! I know someone else who received a similar message.

People hire you hire because of your skills and experience. People who hire you because you own a certain piece of equipment, usually they are they type of cheap-ass people you want to avoid.

If your camera comes loose at speed from the G forces, it's toast anyway, but you don't want to kill anyone. As stated above, safety the camera separately from every thing else and to it's own anchor point.
