Reddit reviews Panther Vision LHB-275496 Lighted Hat with Brim Switch - Black

Assortment of adapters, filters, and switchable pads in a heavy duty ziploc freezer bag. The see through bag helps me find what I'm looking for quickly.

Assortment of adapter cables for XLR Line/mic to/from TA3, and non-lectro mic to TA5 (thank you Remote Audio who will make any cable known or unknown to man). These are also in a heavy duty freezer ziploc bag

Extra zip loc bags LOL

Assortment of batteries.

Extensions with breakaway for runs to camera. Let the camera guy get close the the spewing volcano, I'll stay right here thank you.

Enough Ambient Eumels, for every lav so we can have one set of mics for both wired and wireless. They make a version for pretty much every wireless system.

Topstick and moleskin, great stuff.

backup suspension mount just in case I break a Rycote or leave it at the shop.

The ever-awesome collapsible brush that comes with Rycote softies. Sometimes we have to plant mic's in wigs/hair (and makeup is usually off flirting hahaha j/k).

Pack of peanut butter crackers because sometimes food isn't supplied or isn't convenient

(2) sets of really cheap headphones. Throwaways

Deep Woods Off bug repellant

and because that IS a lot of stuff....

Bucket Boss Long Boy bag(s) (check that price). VERY tough bag. Has straps for a level which hold a boom pole just as well

EDITS - trying to remember everything and include info for other wireless systems

or if you hate those things with a passion (as i do, they either never fit, or fall off constantly) you can snag something like this hat with led's in the brim.

I work as a line of sight internet installer and use one of these more regularly than I should need to...
