Wild timing. Just last night I pushed out the first release of a web browser option for LfS which allows use on any computer, phone, tablet. https://github.com/titleunknown/StudioViewer

Yes, it's still a great system.

If I recall correctly it mostly uses M10,8,6 threads for attaching accessories which will really limit you since 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 are the standard for most options in the industry.

AP/Router placement and network congestion are typically a bigger issue that the hardware model.

You just want something that offers 6ghz.

Combo travel modems/routers will always be limited with their hardware but they can the connect them to an AP and allow better range and penetration.

Personally, I prefer compact 90-99wh power banks for their size/weight with 2nd option being v-mount with 100W PD output. I added v-mounts to my power banks to make them easier to mount.

I've covered this subject in-depth in the past if you want to read more about options Maximizing Mobility

Toe clamping is a proven method, but typically with a harder material against a softer one, not the same materials. The plate needs the rigidity for it to work, which that design lacks. They even mention that it can slip if not properly engaged. It will certainly leave superficial marks on a laptop.

I'd suggest looking it just using basic kit stands or Beefy Baby stand.

C-stands are great for some things, great in studio, but the way most folks use them, they can easily be replaced with a simple light stand or Beefy Baby. Which are quick an easy to collapse and move from place to place. With a beefy baby especially you can always add a grip head and arm if you need to boom slightly.

Technically speaking you cant get 1.5 charges for a 16"MBP from a 737 power bank.

MBP has ~99.6wh battery and the power bank is ~86.4wh. So the most you can get with zero loss would be ~87%. In reality it's less than that.

Mood Board Studio Pro (macos only) But there's a free web version as well.

Blue threadlock will solve this.

Better solution is to get a panning base and add to the setup.

It is, but if you already have a GM plate you can grab this

There's also basic plates for cheap

titleunknown

Most common approach is a 4 side floppy they available in black solid or ultra

There's a village blackout tent that is an ice fishing tent with ultrabounce material

Mule offers an option.

There's also slip-on rags you can use with a bare frame or DIY a frame.

titleunknown

Nitze makes a good affordable option.

I have.

There's [ultra low-profile](https://www.mcmaster.com/90357A013/) socket cap that's even lower head clearance.

The problem is that there's 1 point of contact and no good way to prevent twisting. You'd need a rubber bumper that would eat up ~2-3mm if going that route. You can always contact me through my site, I do custom work but If I could find a good solution to prevent twisting It would be nice to offer broadly.

I make these adhesive backed options that pair with the KB mini lock. They are about 2mm thinner and 4grams lighter than the standard KB male plate. Obviously they wont work for all items but good for some situations.

titleunknown

No prob. I bought one when I first saw them to check compatibility with my Mini Lock "stickers"

titleunknown

yes

I have one they are good, interchangeable with Kondor Blue in my experience.
Selens left, KB right.

Assuming you mean beauty dish? Yes

titleunknown

Yes, they should be included. The top shelf will "tin can" without them.

While I initially told C1 I love the idea of renting out another computer.... With the current state of budgets, don't see it going well.
