Got Mobile? Get Movin' with a Mobile Studio! (page 2)
Mounting a light unit on the shoe of your camcorder is ideal here, since you really don't want to lug around lighting stands. Having a small battery-powered kit such as Litepanels DV Camera Kit ($650 with rebate) is something to consider, especially since some manufacturers allow you to use your extra camcorder batteries to power up.
Bringing a flex bounce is something to consider. There are no batteries to charge, cables to lose, lamps to bust and it folds up to be just bigger than a Frisbee, which fit our mobile studio storage space perfectly.
If you're away from power, this is essential. We've seen laptop-powering panels for around $400. Some manufacturers also make 20+ watt panel systems that will charge most camcorders. Find some friendly sunshine and go grab it!
