Got requests for Diva lights twice last year, currently in my light kit, I have, full tungsten kit, 2 1×1 litepanels, 200w HMI, gets me by for most ENG work, if it’s a bigger commercial/corporate shoot, I rent as need sometimes a grip truck with that.
Just wanted to get an opinion here and wondering how popular they will be in 2014 and if producers will be asking for them. Just afraid that I will end up renting a bunch, then finally decide to buy them, then something better comes along and becomes popular.
The same goes with cameras, currently own an HDX900, HPX370 and 5D, renting a Canon C300 or others as needed. I had a total of 3 times last year I rented a C300, 4 days with a PMW350, and 1 day with a Sony F55. All other days of the year I used my P2, HDX900 or Canon 5D. Afraid to buy Canon C300 because thinking something better is about to come out.
