Ultimate Flat Focus Tool
Being in theatre, especially a small private college theatre, our budget is never quite as large as we would like. Therefore, I am always looking for tools and techniques that are extremely useful, get the job done, and above all are inexpensive. I recently came across The Ultimate Flat Focus Tool by StageJunk that has met all of these expectations. I ordered ours from Stagespot just because I had other things like gaff tape that I was also purchasing.
The price for the tool is downright cheap…especially considering everything that it will do. It is lightweight, and easily fits into a back pocket, or at the end of a lanyard, and best of all, no more fiddling around with a crescent wrench to get the right size for what you are working on. Since purchasing this, in fact, I have only had to go for the trusty Crescent wrench once (and that was because I was working on a specialty light stand used in photography). If you work in theatre with lighting instruments, I definitely recommend getting one of these. They rock!
