What other accessories need to be added to this list? There definitely is much more and I plan on doing another video talking about additions. Let me know what you think and if I use your suggestion, I'll definitely shout you out in the next video!

As a recording engineer and live sound engineer, I have XLR cables in 10 colours. 5 x 10 meter, 2 x 5 meter 2 x 2 meter and 2 half meter lengths. They have served all my needs for over 30 years. Plus various short XLR to Jack flyleads and other adapters. The long cables I store and transport in a large plastic crate with wheels, actually intended for a bunch of power tools, and the short cables are in a large sports bag, again with wheels at one end.

Great tips and thanks for the info.

I have that same Furman strip! Good idea about the multi-plug strip, I have one and never tried using it!

[@djkanoya]

I think I use that multi tap every time for something. 😂

[@P4boot]

Lol 5:02 I feel attacked. I’m buying cases and bags soon. 😂.

Great video. I would also recommend Velcro Strips and Gravity Clips to clean up your cable management.

[@djkanoya]

Great recommendations.

[@AndrewLumsden]

Better to use releasable cable ties instead of velcro. They will keep the wound loops of cable the same circumference, whereas with velcro, the loops can slip around and form large unwieldy loops and tight loops that can then get tangled up with other loops of cable.

i also ordered usb-c to rca for my phone and laptop

[@isaacrayc]

Not to hate but the 1/4” to 1/8” you should is a mono cable. It will not carry stereo sound and will not sound right coming out of the speakers! Just FYI

[@djkanoya]

Thanks for the clarification ... I probably should have been specific on the cable type and not just the size.

Great video, which Arriba bag do you use for the S1 Pro?

[@oldschooldjernie]

Turn arounds are great, I have them in my bag that I use when I work in tv news. At this shoot I was glad I had one for the audio feed. ruclips.net/video/ZclHt3hX4Nk/видео.html
