Haha we did the same Peli hack. We managed to attach removable trolly wheels with a clip on mechanism on one of the pelis. Allows us to stack three on top of each other. Really handy in Mexico where they don’t give you trolleys
I also used to have the think tank production manager 50. It holds a lot but weighs a TON when fully loaded. My preference nowadays as I’ve gotten older is more cases overall but each case weighs less. More cases, but smaller cases helps when Tetris-ing cases into vehicles as well.
Those lightstands were designed by Manfrotto originally. Rental companies use to propose them some 20 years ago, and this is how I discovered them... then bought three. The stacking/locking system is a marvel of engineering, and has no weakness whatsoever. "Impact" seems to be some shop-brand (I don't know which, but someone surely will) and probably has some agreement with Manfrotto to use the latch/lock system under licence. Perhaps they are manufactured by the Italian brand, possibly. I don't know about the durability of those "Impact" versions, but my original Manfrotto are almost 10 years old, and show absolutely no trace of wear or fatigue or deterioration of any kind. Highly recommended, especially for those who move a lot with their gear.
Can you make a video about checking all this gear through airport, break down of weight costs and how you would use the media pass to get all this onto the plane please?
Ok.... I came back to this particular video to ask this question...... Am I wrong for wanting to put a couple of np-f Batteries in my 15 year old Son's carry-on? Asking for all my friends😉😏😅

That's one hell of a kit, looking forward to your tentacle sync video! Curious why you're not a fan of them and what you'd recommend instead.

'marvel of engineering'.... great line! Well put!
Bro the think tank bags are the best! Been using them since 2015! Absolutely love them

I didn't want to comment first. Had to give the other viewers a chance. Nice video! Lot's of little nuggets throughout.
Think tank definitely needs to reinforce that lid. They’re skimpin
Good stuff man!!! Lessening the load is the cheat code of all times!!! Good stuff bro.
What are the connecting light stands though 👀 I'm looking through your gear list and cant find them 😩
They are impact link air cushioned light stands. So sick!
Great video!

@@Paul.Billingsley nothing wrong with it lol.
My question is on a wedding day what is the average they are paying, by they I meant the couple.
i dont see the light stands or those quick arms you talked in the video in the gear kit.
Just updated the kit! Sorry about that
you mention the weight for your checked bags, but what are the weight for your carry on? because if i remember they cant be over 50lbs correct?
Correct. My carry ons are about 30ish lbs
@@JustinPorterMedia love ittt
I would love to chat gear sometime man, we would hit it off.
you gotta video on that media pass
That's coming next! Stay tuned
How's that 24-105 working out for you on the V-Raptor?
I love my Thinktank bags
They are so good. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@JustinPorterMedia I don’t know you but I saw where you started via Social and I’m so proud of you!
Do you get discounted rates for overweight bag fees with that media pass?
Yes you do 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Legend!
if you had to start from zero with intent to start filming weddings in 2024 what would your gear kit look like while keeping budget in mind?
Yoo🔥you need a patent on this style of packing😂
I thought you had a raptor and a kx. oops
Raptor was a loaner shoutout to RED. I bought the KX and the OG Komodo though when I switched
Another great video.
