Another great post which only leaves me with questions. Today what would the relationship between the light meter reading and camera settings. Thank You Again.
Hi Timelesstruths! For camera operators, a light meter has but one use - giving you the camera settings for middle grey, or in other words, your scene. As a DP or Gaffer, I use my light meter to take readings all over the set and it allows me to adjust lights without ever having to walk up to a monitor or camera - thus working faster and staying out of the way of other crew members, or people crowded around the monitor. I also shoot some film photography, so my light meter is the only way I can get accurate exposure settings when shooting on film. Great question, thanks for asking!
I too have done a lot of research and refinement of my belt. I'm doing mostly camerawork so it's a little different but the biggest game changer for me was getting a tactical style belt with a weight belt for freediving threded through. Having the tac style is way more comfortable for long days (since its designed to carry heavier stuff) and keeps me from forming that gross band of sweat around my waist since it's got some breathable padding. The dive belt is amazing because you don't have to re-velcro or mess with any adjustments when you are wearing it outside of a coat/sweatshirt. Love the content and so nice to see advice and tips from another working professional. Not enough time on set to deep dive this stuff. Best resource I've found was the Zamboni Belt writeup on News Shooter: www.newsshooter.com/2017/07/31/the-zamboni-belt/
Blu Tack. Enjoy the content you put out (and how chill), Dale!
Thanks KC! Agree. I used to have blue tack in my kit. Handy to have for sure! Thanks for the great comment. -D

Hi Sid! Thanks!

Hi Shaoba - just search for Jewellery holder on Amazon or eBay. Good luck!
Is that the 15" or the 18" Husky bag? I'm looking for a bigger bag myself. :)
I think it's the 18" - just big enough. If I add anything else though, i'd need to find something bigger.
nice!
