The light stand bag is designed to transport and protect light stands when moving between locations.
There are three dedicated lighting stands in your techkit. The stands feature a 4ft leg base when fully extended. This adds stability when adding lighting fixtures of medium weight. The stands have two riser sections allowing a light to rise up to 9.5'.
The reflector features reversable reflective fabrics which are used to bounce light into a scene or on a subject. Often, reflectors are used in place of a physical light and give additional control to the light shaping process.
The pop up greenscreen features chroma green on one side and chroma blue on the other. Greenscreens are particularly useful for special effects and compositing where a subject may need to be placed in an alternative environment.
The C-Stand is a staple in the grip department because it is capable of holding items in place to help modify or shape light. C-stands are often used to hold bounce boards and reflectors but are sometimes used for mounting accessories like a boom pole holder in an audio setup.
