    As a person that uses that gear on a daily basis, I will point out that HMI lighting and Tyler mounts (for example) are not just un-user friendly (to the layman) they are actually dangerous in the wrong hands.

    There is plenty of gear out there that you can use with a consumer camera to create decent images.

    The people that can afford shooting with a Satellight-X HMI can afford a crew to operate it.

    They might still edit on Final Cut Pro.
