i say just get another smaller case for the extra stuff like the cables and whatnot - i dont want to be fumbling with all the extra heavy stuff hanging on the outside
@@edwardcrockett I was wearing glassed too, the lens shattered and a fragment ended up in my eye too (not discovered in the initial reconstruction and caused a hemorrhage a year later-more painful than the accident itself), so lesson #2, make sure your lenses are polycarbonate. 8 surgeries (including 3 failed cornea transplants) later I am still blind in that eye.
I'm a fan of the doctor bag or tool bag approach, take the whole camera package assembled as ready as possible (minus battery or mic if needed) and just pull out. If you value speed over anything else this is the way.
Yeah that’s definitely a great option! The only downside I’ve ran into with that is that when you pack those bags down they can get insanely heavy and I like being able to wheel it around ya know?
Interesting experiment, definitely loved the cargo strap idea, but if you're on public transport - that's too much stuff. If you're in a car, this will be tricky to get in/out, so a bigger case or a combination of case and tripod bag would be better. I like a combo of the small peli and a big tripod travel cases, you can put tons of stuff in there besides the tripod. Anyway, cool video, made me think, keep 'em coming! Where do you get the music for these edits from? Always nice tracks, not too distracting, but also not boring, etc.
I need to do my flight case video. I can get three stands, light diffusion, two lights, audio rig, and extension cables, while keeping my camera/lens in a backpack, on me at all times.
I used to do a set up where I would use one stand for a light and soft box that i would also clamp my boom pole to. didn't always work, was kind of limited in how you could position the light. All the cables would usually go in my backpack, which I needed for laptop and other bits. I reckon you were quite strict with the rules on this one but i reckon realistically you would be travelling with the peli and a rucksack. I liked the bungee cord set up on this though. what were the bungees? they looked great really hard core, also what were the metal loops you drilled in for the bungees to attach to they looked great.
i knew 6 seconds in that all of that was not going to fit in the case lol It's a good experiment though, but if i ever have to bring that much gear (i haven't yet) i think i'd just get a cart that fits in my car, and fit gear into camera and tote bags to easily move from car to cart and back.

Yeah I totally get that! Whatever works best for everyone is the way to go!
I am blind in one eye because of a bungee cord mishap-don't be like Tom, use static straps.
Oh gosh! Yeah I wear glasses but that was definitely on my mind when I was stretching those things 😅

I’m honestly just really stoked you fit as many stands as you did on the outside of the case. I don’t know how I’ve never thought of that 😭
Ayyyy haha I honestly wasn’t sure if it’d work but it working out great honestly 🤯
It's so awesome how small lights have become. I still use my godox 60w light and its huuuge :D
It’s honestly crazy how small lights have gotten! Unreal🤯

lovely bit of kit there man 🤙 loved the drill shots too
Hahaha thanks so much 🙏
Compact and convenient. What is your deciding factor for bringing your 300c light?
That’s tough! It just depends on the shoot! They are amazing lights though!
“Son of a nutcracker” 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hahaha I say that all the time 😂 had to leave it in!
I don't know who needs to hear this but, less is more lol. Nice video Ed !!!
Yooo thank you so much!🙏🙏
May i suggest carbon fiber reverse folding light stands?
Theyre pretty light and they fold down more compactoy than traditional light stands.
That’s a great idea! I’ll look into them!

I actually linked the whole kit in the description but yes I feel you! It’s not a perfect solution but still pretty helpful in the end!

Damn bro that BM6K is gargantuan... i don't think I'd be comfortable with all that. S5iiX spoiled me
It’s so big! Actually looking at getting the S5IIX as a b cam so that could be a good addition to the set 🤔
