Theater Lighting Bag

[ari6126]

So I bought a bail out bag from LAPG to use for my theater lighting gear. I am pretty happy with the bag, it is good enough quality wise. I really like the size, it has just enough room for my stuff, but isn't huge.

Haha!   Nice set up ari, I'm surprised at how much can fit in it.

That's a lot of stuff, and it's admirable the bag can hold everything you need without appearing 'stuffed'.

How do you like the Enttec dongle?

I love it. Would I program an entire show on it? No. But it's a great testing device. It also services as a nice backup board. Plus, it's super cheap.

A quick update about my bag. I really like it, but I'm not a big fan of the zipper pulls. First, they are black. While black may be perfect for a "tactical" job, I prefer some color. Also they are not paracord like the description says. Not really a problem just thought I would let you guys know. Also, they only put zipper pulls on 3 of the 4 zippers.  Anyway, I made my own using goldenrod colored retroreflective paracord.

It's not really my job. I'm still in high school, and that's where I do lighting. Sometimes I work in other theaters in my city, but most of my work is done at school. I started in 7th grade. 7th grade was really boring, and lighting was more fun than going to the library.
