The Second Assistant Camera "Desert Island" Case | Film industry

If I had to travel to a desert island what would I bring? A Pelicase 1510, of course!
This week I traveled back to Berlin (Germany) where I'm currently based.
Although, since I'll soon have another film job in Italy, I only brought with me one case, leaving most of my private equipment back home.
Inside this case, however, there are tools and stuff which I use 95% of the time on set.
Besides, almost all the items I show in the video are safe investments if you wanna start working in the camera department.
I didn’t show kimtech, pancro and kenair simply because I already had some expendables here in Germany available to me so there was none in the case.
A note on this. I guess it really depends on type of project and country rules but ACs usually keep expendables at the end of a job. Unless you are forced to, try to get a hold of this stuff this way. They are expensive.
STUFF I FORGOT
Besides the AIR DUSTER and expendables I didn't talk about. I would add the 3/16th hex key is also one of the big ones which you can come across a lot.
If you are a camera assistant let me know your thoughts! What makes a good 2nd AC kit? Any peculiarities in your country? Share your tips in the comment section down below!
Till the next running, filming or sleeping content,
Yo!
Edit June 2024: grateful for the good reception of this video. As of today, I‘m still sure the listed items are 90% of all you need.
