To clarify this is my personal kit for small jobs (interviews, broll, etc). For larger jobs, usually just go the rental route (1-Ton, 2-Ton G & E, etc) as needed by the job. For those types of jobs I usually only bring the basics - light meter(s), Gaffer's Glass, iPad, and the F&V R300se since it makes for a small compact eye light or if i just need a little fill. Anything else is usually supplied in the rented gear.

I just updated my "All-in-One" Kit, which I guess is my 'one-man band' kit...the main items below: *1x F&V R300se Daylight Ring Light (this is usually in my camera bag as it can be mounted to camera) 1x Falcon Eyes 18D Daylight FLEX LED Panel (replaced old Lowel Rifa-Light) 1x Yongnuo YN360 BiColor/RGB LED Wand (good as a kicker or back light and also RGB for color effects) 1x Lowel-Tota (the 'oldie but goodie') 2x 5x7 Collapsible Double-Sided Backdrops (one is Chroma/Gray and the other is Black/White which can be used for bounce or negative fill) 1x 5x5 Overhead Frame w/ Skins 2x Reverse-Leg Light Stands 5x Compact Light Stand (< 30" collapsed height) Xx Spring Clips (#1, 2, 3) 3x Drop-down Scissor Clamps 1x Gaffer/Gator Clamp 4x Stingers 6x Sandbags (empty bags that I fill with whatever) Xx CTB Gel for the Tota, Gaffer's Tape, Trickline, Zip-ties, LED "twinkle" lights, etc All this fits inside this case...I hope to post pics soon on my blog...hope this helps!
