There are stacks of new gear that have come out recently or are being funded via kick-starter. It’s been said before and I will say it again: Buying gear is not the most important thing, nor will it make you a better filmmaker BUT some of it can help you in filmmaking for sure, and some of this stuff is beyond cool! Some of the most innovative tools are coming from Kickstarter right now.<\/p>\n

I am a big fan of projects on Kickstarter that are helping starts up and also giving you something back, a physical product. My biggest investment so far has been the Digital Bolex on Kickstarter. The only downside is there is less of a legal comeback if they don’t deliver.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most interesting ones currently still open to backing:<\/p>\n

THE KICK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kick is a bloody genius idea for a pocket sized lighting tool. Check out the video below to learn more. I have invested in this. Looks fab. The features that are demoed in the video are beyond cool.<\/p>\n
