Max, what is your budget for buying some tungsten lights? Do you want a Par style for particular lighting effect? or do you just want some 650 and 1k Tungsten?

Since the quote comes from a script writing blog I would say he is talking about the piece of paper/ sheet of paper where the script is. It's where the film starts. He is a director: You have to take those words and bring them to life.

Those two fixtures seem to be old stock numbers. Mole Cool- Older style par 600 watts

Wattage. Fay= 650 watt globes Par - 1000 watt globes they are both 'Mole Quartz

on the same note- you can find competent folks to run that set up that are not Union

General Liability Insurance here doesn't require a set electrician. That's what the insurance is for. That's why it is prudent to have Liability insurance along with coverage for Misc rented eq, Props, Wardrobe, 3rd party property damage.

Sorry- old eyes, old caliper top riser is 3/4" https://products.msegrip.com/collections/339725-40-c-stand-riser

Matthews C-Stand 1-1/4" 1" 5/8" The Kupo clamps work on 1"-1-1/4"

Any preferences on which brand you guys like for a soft bank on an Arri S60? DoP Choice or Chimera PoP? They both seem to work the same way. TIA

This guy has a similar set up. He has links to Microphone mounts and other clamps. He uses only one Autopole but you could use two. use one Autopole for lights and one for Microphones.

Looks like is can use NPF batteries? Battery Plate 4 x Sony L-Series (NP-F) How much run time do you get using 4 of the $ony NPF batteries? Or even an off brand NPF battery. How much is a little 1000w or 2000w generator cost in Germany? Cost of petrol?

What is a Euromount? Got a link/photo? Just curious.

You can see the back of the Kino in the top of the image.

is this cart really for rocks? 800-1000lbs? A muscle cart with just 20 25lbs sandbags is 500lbs. I wouldn't want to be manhandling any cart more that using Grip cart pneumatic tires/casters. But if you do, your options are the casters with brakes built in to the yoke or build the hand/foot lever brake system used on grip/electric carts where a bar presses against two of the wheels.

Nothing wrong with what yer doing.

never had any problems with the Lowel DP or Omni lights- and that was in a rental environment too.

Hi Ryan, if you need a genny op familiar with setting up safe power around the pool lemme know. We did a few shoots over the years for Speedo swimwear with Hydroflex lighting and the Shock Blocks.

https://hydroflex.com/equipment-rentals/lighting/ they have linear LED and Skypanels now.

Find a local welder who can fabricate a custom cage out of aluminum. Don't see it as being too difficult.

The old tried and true Monopod is an option as well. Certainly not quite as agile

Matthews has something similar: 2-1/2" Double gag https://www.msegrip.com/collections/grip-heads-arms/products/grip-heads?variant=15226067320898

That Mamiya RZ strap mount is pretty specific. I imagine you'll have to find an extra Mamiya strap and figure out some way to attach it to a ReadyRig bungee cords or any of the other brands out there. You are certainly on the heavy side with all the accessories attached to the camera.
