cameras weigh more than that 1k :)

This injury could have occurred on a union shoot too.

Depends which ones you buy. The Led T-8 bulbs are relatively cheap but you also need their wiring harness. The QED Crossfade are more $$ 4' Bulb is $275.00 Rainbow 4' is $599.00

http://acegenerators.com ACE carries the 50amp Twist Lock cables and lunchboxes. I'm sure other shops have them too.

Why dont you rent the extra 50amp cable?

Good read. Covers Why and When and also exemptions to the rule. http://www.lightingandsoundamerica.com/mailing/plasaprotocol/pspring12_shadowandlight.pdf

he wont be using stands when he goes to use this set up- he will have fixed height grid. This photo is just to test the rig. he is also in Eugene OR, I imagine he doesn't have access to a lot of grip like stirrups.

Drill a hole through the speedrail and run a safety rope through it and tie off to the grid.

Yup- all of ours are marked with an arrow.

can it be done- yes. will it be expensive- yes. It will be proprietary so if your ballast goes down your entire kino goes down since you can't rent just a ballast that would work on your new pinned kino. Might as well just convert to Quasar tubes but that is $$$ too.

You add more ambient light to the room with a couple of the Work light halogens 250watt/500watt. It will look very bright to you but in camera it will still be dark. You can also use a dimmer on the work lights.

Well I was close :)

My 4 sources here all say Italian made Mag ballast but can't recall manufacturer. I worked at a rental place in the early 90's that had these and I believe we dad these paired with Arri 1200 Fresnels. My repair guy said the Italian company pretty much made all the ballasts during those years. Arri, Desisti, Strand.

30 year old magnetic ballast. I just can't recall brand or who was the original manufacturer.

To me: Ambient lighting is overall brightness or dimness of the scene. A dark bar. Accent lighting would be specific lighting on subject Streak of light across eye of person in bar or say a strong backlight.

Manfrotto Megaboom Combo stand or a medium roller.

Our Big bens have a bolt hole so you can secure the pipe/speedrail. Pick is of a Baby but same thing on the Jr. That Monfrotto clamp looks like it has enough meat on it to drill a hole and Tap it to accept a bolt or better a T-handle bolt.

Baby Grid clamp https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/33137-REG/Matthews_425157_Baby_Grid_Clamp.html or Baby Pipe clamp https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/33212-REG/Matthews_429618_Baby_Pipe_Clamp.html but as mentioned a Cardalini should hold in place as well. If your friction tape is shot pick up some skateboard grip tape 5-10 bux- sheet will cover quite a few Cardalinis.

and a safety cable

One man grip team: Look into the Sunbounce Sunswatter Big. https://www.711rent.com/en/rent/paris/grip-butterflys-reflectorsflags-sunswatter/ http://www.sunbounce.com/index.php?id=88&L=1 a Flag Pole harness is a good accessory so the extension pole can sit in it. https://www.amazon.com/Parade-Flag-Carrier-Double-Belt/dp/B00IKRA8ZW

You can remove rental labels easily and who on set is going to check the serial numbers on cameras? Stolen gear is fenced or sold to unsuspecting people. have you checked every serial number on equipment on set?
