Seconding this!

It's a homemade flag basket. I keep some scrap gel cuts and and wag flags in there as well as a regular assortment of flags, nets, etc.

@@JesusMartinezCreates You can fit a good amount of stuff in a connect! Some of the ACs around here have connects with camera carts they roll out for each job. Pretty awesome. Yes, I’ll probably make a dedicated video of it eventually. I have a brief walkthrough video of in a previous video. I think it’s titled “Loading a grip van” or something like that.

@@cfl4286 Oh I am using it as a G&E got about a 1 ton in there and then my pelicans for production. Its too tight though, I can only fit 3 combos and 10 cstabds plus a couple air stands. I want more room and eventually a 2400 nanlux

@@JesusMartinezCreates you and me both on the 2400b haha! Would love to replace my 4K with one. Yeah, the connects do get a little cramped for G&E stuff. But hey, make that connect work for you! Pay it all off (if you have a loan on anything) and then upgrade to a larger one :)

@@videopromike Much appreciated!

@@VLK2024 It’s coming :)

@@creativegreatsvisuals you could do it that way an achieve similar results. Magic cloth is a DP favorite so I like going that direction more. About spill, you may have a little less spill that way. We weren’t worried as much about spill in this scenario since there was already a lot of ambient daylight in the room.

@@creativegreatsvisuals yes, any panel is going to be easier and faster to set up than a Mat light. Mat lights usually require some assembly no matter the brand. They’re both the same size so they’d each require diffusion if you were to use them as key lights.

And since they are so cheap, I'm going to get a second one. So I don't need to switch back between wireless camera feed or control lights.

Would be happy to! It can be rather confusing and expensive, but is totally worth it in my opinion. I’ll put out a video about CRMX/DMX in the next couple weeks.

@@108u9 no idea the total budget! As far as I know it was for one spot. It also wasn’t a very long day, so that leads me to believe it was only one.

Thank you my friend

Hadn’t thought about that! I know there’s several copycats out there. Impact, BHs brand, has their version. Not sure if they’re based in the US. As far as I can see, the kupo version is an improvement on the cardellini design. Time will tell how it holds up long term. Something that I forgot to mention in the video, it also doesn’t seize up or bind near as much, which is a huge plus. Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed!

Short films and self funded stuff probably not often. Producers pay for this without blinking an eye for commercials and movies though :)

Thanks you!

Absolutely! For one, the C Boom goes out longer than an impact arm (Not that I recommend going full extension all the time LOL but it can do it with a lightweight unit). But the biggest benefit for me is that if I don't use the C stand as a boom, then it's still useful to me as a c stand. Whereas a boom arm is mainly only useful for that one thing. So it really comes down to a matter of space savings. I have a van, so converting a stand to a boom is very valuable to me. If I had a large box truck then I'd probably carry a couple baby and junior boom arms just for the simplicity and speed :) hope this helps!

@@cfl4286 Good points! Thanks for the explanation

I’m searching for the Kupo plate to pipe clamp you’ve shown, but I’m having a hard time finding it. Can you help, what is the name for that? Or even a link to maybe B&H or another option. Thanks in advance for any help.

@@pbellajr search for Kupo KG044011 on BH and it’ll come up

@@cfl4286 perfect 👍🏼

Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much :) Got some really interesting videos coming up that I’m excited to put out there!

It was a little over a meter away. I don’t remember the output level, but can tell by looking it was probably about half brightness give or take maybe 10%. Those novas are bright.

@@cfl4286 Thanks, yes they are. I have 2 p300c's. I also have a Forza 720B and 2 Forza 300B's along with older Forza 500. I was thinking of getting a p600c that is why I was asking. I notice you use it a lot as your key. I just came across your channel the other day and subscribed.

@@RobertJohnPhotography nice kit! IMO the P600c is the best soft panel on the market. It is good as a key with the aputure softbox as long as you can keep it close to the subject. Farther away and it’s best to diffuse it with a 4x4 or something like that. Thanks for the subscription!

@@cfl4286best on market ? No the new Arri sky panels are but very expensive so nova 600c is best quality option for most

Any of those options would work! I tend to go with the legs because they're already on there, but yeah a lollipop would work just fine or a menace arm junior receiver would work great too since it has the ring built in. For me it's the speediness and the simplicity of it, so leaving the legs on is a good option provided you're not working in tight spaces with low ceilings. If so, then it's better to go one of the routes you mentioned. Several years ago, when I was just hooking the ratchet to the base of the C Stand, I had it pop off and swing down. Fortunately, no one was underneath, and it was only a small lite mat on it, so it didn't come crashing down with a ton of force. Mostly just freaked me out and made me realize I wasn't being smart. Since then I've been very particular about having a solid mounting point like on an actual menace, sometimes to the annoyance of the guys I work with, haha.

Thanks brother! High roofs are the bomb. I love being able to stand up haha you’re in Arkansas too, right? I’m up in Bentonville. Love your channel!

Pipe clamps with junior receivers. You can get them at modern studio or matthews SE

Always more to learn! Stay tunes and I’ll be coming out with more video vlogs and instruction videos. Menace arms, wall spreaders, large frames, tenting windows, condor rigging. all that kind of stuff I’m planning to get to eventually! Hopefully it’ll be helpful to everyone.

Just subbed!

Thank you sir! Love your channel. You’re a huge inspiration!

It’s project dependent. Usually between $600 and $800 per day for labor. On a feature film or longer form project the rate goes down to $400 or so. The van and equipment prices are all additional and listed on my website!

Thank you! Its a pipe clamp bolted to an ear. This one is from Kupo, but American makes one as well that is welded instead of bolted. Google C Boom clamp and a few options should come up. Video is being edited now.

@@cfl4286 Brilliant. Thanks so much!

@@cfl4286 Feel free to just address this in the video if you prefer, but could you support weight with the c-stand fully extended? approx 10ft? Looking at an impact boom and maxes out around 5 feet and is $60. Will either buy that or the c-boom clamp. Thank you again

@@ericdargan yes, it can go full extension. You would just need to counterweight it properly with a shot bag and ratchet strap, and also make sure not put any light on it that’s heavier than a couple pounds (LIte mat, 60 watt LED, etc.). Any heavier you’ll bend it. Are you talking about an aluminum impact boom? I would steer clear of that. For dedicated boom arms you need steel to safely arm a light out over talent. A Menace arm is the only exception, but is made with Schedule 40 speedrail w/ a menace arm hardware, and is supported by ratchet straps to keep it from bending. Also, for any boom you need a combo stand for the base. Definitely not something you want to do off of a C Stand or Baby Stand. Hope this helps!

180? Nah man it works great with the 50mm I have on it right now, which I guess is close to a 30-35mm with the 2x stretch.

Caleb Hoenshell I’m just giving you a hard time. 😂 so what’s the final focal length?

@@KAREKINFPV probably somewhere close to 35-40! My 58 mm Helios is somewhere near a 40mm full frame equivalent. I'll probably make a video in the next week or two about it. I'm looking at getting a 35mm takumar as a taking lens for a wider option as wider lenses look the nicest to me :)
