The Emergency Kit ’26
The Emergency Kit is kind of a scary term for the contents, but it’s what I’ve always called it. In reality, it’s the kit that keeps the camera gear up and functioning while I’m on the road on a shoot. If flying, it travels as a unit in my checked luggage. It contains all sorts of trivia, which I’ve just gone through removing all the “F” mount items, as it’s just for “Z” mount now. What you see above all fits easily in a Think Tank Logistics Manager cable manager. Here are the contents of the Emergency Kit

Some items are “older” and no longer readily available. Some items like the 3D Loop Spacer I had custom-made. Those items for which I have links, I’ve included them. It wasn’t my thought one might copy item for item my Emergency Kit; rather, it’s kind of a road map for making your own. Trust it will help :-)
