Gaffer & Gear 31 - On Set Toolkit

[@Powersfilms]

I love the line, "I keep an extra roll of the cheap shit for people to borrow".

[@DavidMacNeillphiladelphia]

Hey, you watch this channel too??

[@YuriusSan]

Man look. I really appreciate the straight forward detailed reviews and tips on this channel. No rgb amazing looking led background. No purposeless bs talk. No sugarcoating and most importantly. No loud stock dubstep music in a 3 minute intro.

[@bonedna6139]

haha!!! love it!!! Exactly

[@ricklord7144]

Stumbled onto you by accident, Finally a Gaffer POV who explains well, we are more than just a bunch of light movers. We are lighting and electrical technicians who are a necessity on all relevant film sets. 36 years in the Biz and still learning!!! Great stuff!!!

[@MekSMG]

Recently started my own film company fresh from university, watching these videos is the extra information i think all filmmakers should learn!

[@carmasfilms]

Hello, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. My name is Carlos and I live in Guatemala. I work in the video and film industry here, but there are very few professionals who teach and educate us in this field again, thanks por todo lo que enseñas

[@diogoalmeidavisuals]

More stuff in common with my AC bag than I was expecting, cool video.

[@AwesomeShotStudios]

Great tips. I also found that it's good to have some paracord (you can get a bracelet that's a 50' length of wrapped paracord), velcro wraps, black and silver Sharpies (felt-tip pens), and a few band-aids.

[@darkknightwithanidea1845]

Brilliant ! I’d hire you on our set in a heart beat. Practical & so experienced.

[@vontd9]

I have an adjustable colour contrast filter - so I can change the density according to the density of the clouds. It has a small thread on the front that I attached a camcorder UV filter to.

[@rodrigo8269]

Thanks for the video! Really enjoying your content!

[@marcusavanti902]

Good video. I saw you also had some quick release ratchet straps in the back ground. I just added some with some bits of wooden dowl so I can make a mounting for nano clamps to be able to mount small lights to things that are too big for my other clamps to mount on.

[@gaffergear]

I'm steeling that idea

Eclipse glasses is the ingenuity I come here for

[@peterevans8194]

Really interesting video...With regards Fluke, many of their meters are now made in China under contract for Fluke by UNI-T. This company also makes some really decent own brand meters/test kit thatis very reasonably priced in comparison. Apart from their multimeters, One thing which I highly recommend is their little ten dollar USB tester for checking the voltage and amperage output from USB ports, USB chargers ect...I have the basic UNI-T UN658, but they do a couple of others as well which are a bit more fancy. All or in the ten to twenty dollar range on eBay...Also, with regards the power socket checker you have, I have just bought a similar plug-in device that not only has the same functions as yours, but also has an LCD display showing the voltage and frequency..it's not worth recommending a model as I am in the UK, but I am sure similar devices will be available for the Australian market....Again this was only about twenty dollars delivered from China.. When I got it I ran some checks with my Fluke, and the device was spot on....

[@floripilsl2671]

ha! just made my personal christmas list!Thanks!

[@scottbryant6438]

Very handy episode, thanks! Still wondering if the Terra Cotta Warrior is part of the “Advanced Kit” that will be featured in a future episode.

[@dkaasaundra]

"Safety is everyone responsibility and no one cares about you!!" Golden!! Lol

[@JoATTech]

LOL at gaffer tape strategy ... brilliant :D

[@ndangerously]

Is there a shopping list?

[@rebth1st]

This is great. Thank you!

[@SoundSpeeding]

Looking forward to the Volt Stick video! (or have I missed it, and it has already come out?)

[@Photographicelements]

Love your channel! Thanks for all the tips!

[@preproproductions8838]

Where can I find that screwdriver? That thing is awesome!

[@gaffergear]

E bay

[@MaevaBM]

ahah very funny to see that this solution of "2nd set of cheap stuff for the people that will borrow" is in every department, that's how I eliminate my end-of-life Sharpies.

[@terrymitchell2237]

Found this video super informative and relative to my career. It's nice to see how other gaffers stock their tool bag. I like the style of both the big bag and the belt pouch. I couldn't find the exact belt pouch with the flap. Do you know the make and size of the bigger black and red bag? Thanks for the info. Keep up the great work.

[@leoquesto9183]

❤️ Gaff tape gold. Deodorant tip rocks, haha.

[@gaffermajbullah7455]

Nice tool

[@kahenethiopia2704]

thanks so much

[@ΔημητρηςΣταμπολης-τ1ι]

Great Tips, thank you !

[@TheManateeParty]

"This is far too large to get down a hole." hell yeah bruh

[@victorsantos9612]

Awesome! To the point.

[@DrMerkwurdig]

Thank you for your interesting videos! This one showed me that there's still some things I have to add to my kit. You don't seem to have "Joe's Sticky Stuff" in you kit, is it because you don't like it or you've never tried it? Sound folks seem to use it for lav work, but I can see it be very useful for a gaffer as well.

[@gaffergear]

Never herd of Joe's Stickey Stuff, but looks good, ordered it, thanks!

[@infohere1000]

hi what is that thing at 10:15-20 and what is a weblink to buy one

[@gaffergear]

@@infohere1000 you probably don't need one of those anymore. It was a USB adaptor from before batteries had USB outlets built in

[@buddyfx7026]

Got a link to that screwdriver with the socket end? Thanks in advance!

[@gaffergear]

I think I got it off eBay!

[@camronhinkle3381]

Is there anywhere else that sells them?

[@parasympatholytic]

Quality stuff as always. This one however is worth watching just for the straight faced zingers he delivers. 👍

[@ErikOlsen]

Id like to get the 9 in 1 screwdriver and socket kit in this video, where I can find one.

[@gaffergear]

eBay

[@camronhinkle3381]

What brand is it?

[@wroubel4498]

I have a small thread that is connected directly to the dimmer behind the clouds.

[@BritaDellaBarca]

Hi, where did you get your solar eclipse viewing device from?

[@pro_belyaev]

Cool!

[@DIYCameraGuy]

Have you used the KNIPEX Tools? I think they are a great replacement for a standard spanner. Faster to use and grips much harder. They are expensive though.

[@gaffergear]

Thanks, I just ordered one

[@thanelovers]

After trying it for a couple months, I stopped carrying it, mainly because it requires two hands to make adjustments to the opening, and rarely do I land on the right size the first time. It is just too cumbersome and finicky compared to a normal c wrench. Still handy for high torque situations though. Their other tools are great, especially the electrician's shears.

[@OldSchoolFilm1930]

"One shit knife for people to borrow." :D

[@alexfahl9381]

I think I'll start using that 2 rolls of gaff tape tip hahaa

[@SaltNBattery]

Are all AUS Gaffers as nice as you?

[@gaffergear]

Some are nicer, but I don't trust them!

[@jlippencott1]

No C-47s?

[@gaffergear]

All the C47s in Australia are now made in China, they last about 30 seconds and then the two pieces of wood seperate from the spring. I have 100s of small clamps (C47 replacement) are on my gels and grips carts.

[@footycheck]

"one shit knife"

[@rossclark6399]

A gaffer's kit looks a lot like an HVAC technician's kit.

[@MacPassion]

Thats not a knife...

[@hiya1all]

That not a knife.
