Hi, I’m John Harrington and we’re going to break out and break down the wide variety of equipment we use to deliver images to our clients. Next we are going to show you one of the equipment kits we use when we are traveling on assignment. Each kit is different and has a very specific purpose. So lets take a look.
Our next case is one of the 3 Hensel Porty Kits we use. We keep them each in a Versa Flex case, which holds them and their accessories quite nicely.
We like the Porty’s because they are 1200 Ws of power, adjustable in tenth of a stop increment digitally here on the pack. As you can see here it’s all digitally controlled, really like that capability.
We can hardwire into the Porty at this connection point if we need to, but as you can see I think its still the factory rubber band around this particular connector. Instead what we prefer to use is going direct into the back of the Porty head using a pocket wizard and a standard 1/4-inch headphone kit.
Its really nice to be able to use the pocket wizards with these kits, it makes all the difference in the world to be able to move freely and be able to go where you want to go and not be hardwired and connected.
Using a pocket wizard is just that much better then hardwire because I’m not risking pulling a head over when I’ve got the hardwire connection into the head or into the pack. So that’s the Porty.

Hi, I’m John Harrington and we’re going to break out and break down the wide variety of equipment we use to deliver images to our clients. Next we are going to show you one of the equipment kits we use when we are traveling on ignment. Each kit is different and has a very specific purpose. So lets take a look.
On shoots where we’re not steady, whether it’s an unstable platform or its long lenses and slow shutter speeds, we rely on our Kenyon Gyro to steady the shot.
We pack it in a Pelican 1450 Case and it either attaches to the bottom of the camera or the bottom of the lens depending on which system we’re using. The kit is relatively small. The Gyro itself also is relatively small. There are multiple sizes of gyros.
The key with the gyro is to make sure when its powering up or powering down you don’t have it on a surface because it will chatter around as its trying to steady itself on a flat surface and it could cause damage to the gimble inside.
A well thought out helicopter will actually have a power connection for you to connect the Gyro directly into the helicopters power. If you don’t have that though what you can do is connect into a belt pack battery pack that you where on your belt or if you don’t have a helicopter to plug into out and about.
