As a documentary cameraman, you find yourself in a huge range of shooting environments. You are about to embark on an assignment that will take you abroad and there is every likelihood that you will film both observational and set up sequences involving scientific research, interviews and in car traveling shots.

Problem: Budgetary constraints mean that you are limited to the amount of equipment you can take with you. In addition to your standard interview kit, you still need some extra equipment that is versatile enough to be used on and off camera and can be powered not only by mains power, but also by both 24 volt film and 12 volt video accessory sockets.

Solution: kicklite 2 head kit is the perfect tool to take on your trip. The kit is small enough to slide in with your other boxes, and light enough not to adversely affect excess baggage charges. When shooting, a unit can be mounted on the camera, either using a Noga arm, or directly on to a mattebox using stick’n’stick Velcro. Powering the unit from the camera is simple as the unit will accept anything from 12-30 volts, making it compatible with both film and video cameras. >
