Great video! Learn a lot! May I ask what's the difference between the tool bag and the set bag! Thank you!

Thanks for watching. Generally your set bag is what you want close to the camera filled with things you need on set: Filters, batteries, media, lens cleaning, canned air and any other accessories or tools you need quick access to. Your tool bag will contain more items you don't necessarily need with you next to the camera. Wrenches, velcro, some screw drivers or whatever else you can keep on your cart.

That was extremely helpful! Great tipp with the titanium scissors!

Hey. I’m not incredibly green, but I’m comfortable in production hub and level/depth-albeit less involved then the level I’d like to be working in. I really appreciate how easy it is to digest your videos and how you apply them to all levels of production. Thanks for making great content.

Great content mate! Keep it coming!!!

My standard set is Husky and my metric set is Wiha. Other ACs also use Bondhus. They have both types. You can't really go wrong.

Awesome! If you haven't, check out the other parts to the series and the camera cart video. If you have anymore questions let me know.

So after working as a Cam op for years I’ve been asked to work as a 1st AC on set. I’m a bit baffled because the majority of these things I carry with my camera kit anyway. It seems like everyone on set ends up having an overlap of tools.

Another quick question if possible; Just wondering about proper etiquette when it comes to putting dual lock or velcro on a matte box or camera body. Is it worth asking before you do this? does it not leave any residue or damage on the camera body for example? Is there different etiquette for if the camera belongs to the DoP vs if its a rental? Thanks!

There is no need to ask really. It's part of the process. It can leave some sticky residue but it comes off easily by just using the used sticky side of the velcro to help pull it off. Or you can use some goo gone. You might get a snobby DP that doesn't want their camera "getting messed up" but it's rare. Any serious camera owner understands that it's part of owning a camera or any film gear, they won't look new forever.

@@TheIQProductions Yes, I'd say it has replaced a hard tape for getting most marks. BUT you should still have a hard tape in your kit for getting other types of quick measurements.

What's the name of the bag?

It's called the AWP HP. Not sure they make it anymore. It's pretty old.
