7. Professional Equipment Upgrades

In this video, I'm gonna go over some of the extra things. You can buy to make your full service experience even more epic and easy. These are items that are in addition to the ones mentioned in the quick start supplies video, which was at least a hundred feet of hose with a 5/8 to 3/4 diameter at least a hundred feet of extension cord. That's 12 to 14 gauge. Both of those items. We recommend getting them in 50 foot lengths. You'll also need an extension cord safety cover a 40 to 55 gallon water container. You can use a storage tote drum bin or even a collapsible rain barrel and of course, you're going to need a five gallon bucket to mix your foam daddy gel to learn how to mix your foam daddy gel watch the how to mix foam solution video all the items showcased in this video will also be in the professional setup full service video so you can see almost all these items in action there.

Keep in mind I will be going over a ton of items and it's really up to you on how much of it you want to incorporate for your parties. Okay, let's jump in first here are some of the bigger items that help brand your professional full service phone party the top three that are the most visual are one attent with a backdrop this calls attention to your business and will also show up in all the pictures taken the backdrop can also serve as a place to hide your extra equipment. Second is a vinyl Canon wrap. You can cover the barrel of your foam cannon with again great for pictures and branding the third is a barricade. The barricades are great because it helps protect your equipment and sets a boundary for your guess. There's also a heavy-duty chair bag. You can purchase from Amazon that fits about six barricades easily inside of all of these items that I've mentioned so far have been supplied by DRC printing they do amazing work and have additional items such as safety signs bin covers and more that can boost your business and branding. All right. Now, let's take a look at the items around me in no particular order starting from the left side of the table. We have this Mallet this Mallet is used to hit the stakes in the ground for when you're setting up your tent. We have some headlights. This is for when you do glow in the dark parties.

We have a fish net a fish net when your water container gets filled there might be grass and debris The Fishnet helps you scoop up some of those things that you don't want to go into your sub-pub easily. We have a large socket box. This is if you want to put your surge protector inside keep it waterproof keep everything safe. Use this kind of box. You can get that on Amazon. We have some different clips. You can use this to clip your black lights up or you can use them to keep the hose in your side your water container from shooting out. So these are our handy for a whole bunch of reasons. We have some hand towels. These are great for drying your hands and Equipment the darker the hand towel the the least likely dirt and other things are gonna show up. So it keeps your kind of look very clean.

We have some zip ties you can use the zip ties to zip tie the barricades to the tent and that helps with whenever there's wind blowing. So that's super important. We have some some garbage bags. The garbage bags are used to cover up your speaker say it's raining or something like that put a trash bag over the speaker you're good to go or even to collect some leftover things thrown around at your party. We have some Stakes. These are for the tent again, you should get four to eight Stakes that'll fill all the holes at the bottom of your feet of the of the tent. We have some bug spray some sunscreen we have some caution tape caution tape is great for if you're doing an event at a park or somewhere where you don't want people to go behind your equipment. You can connect that to your speakers and other things like that just to create like a safe space for yourself.

A screwdrivers those important say you need to change out the filter on site for your phone Canon Barrow. That's also in another video. We have an adjustable wrench. This is super important. This is a vice grip adjustable wrench and and this is super important for taking out hoses that of belong to someone else that might be crusty and just super hard to get off. So you might want to use an adjustable wrench there say you are at an event and there is no outdoor water spigot. The water Bandit allows you to easily adapt a sink a kitchen sink to that. And so this this can come in very handy.

We have the two-way water splitter valve. This valve allows you to add an extra hose. Say you're doing a two Canon event. You can split the line to both of those or you can connect a hose with a sprayer head to rinse off your equipment which brings me to this one right here. So you should use one of these and it has a quick connect. Okay, Quick Connect allows you to take apart hoses and other items you want to connect a lot easier. So you'll want to use one of those again. There's quick connects right here some washers you want to use washers because eventually these little pieces will wear out or they'll come out and so if you see that your line has water spouting out you might want to change out the washers.

We also have a water key super important, especially if you're going to schools where they don't have like the knob for the water spigot. This allows you to turn water on and off and it makes you look like a pro when you have this so somebody that doesn't have to go find it for you. We have some plumber state that is again. If you want to change up the filter in the Canon or tie it around these parts, which is this one right here is super important. It's the water shut-off valve. So instead of going to the spigot and turning off your water or and turning on your water. You can connect this closer to the Canon and allow the water to easily fill up your barrel and then cut it off. So this is a super important tool that makes your job a lot easier. We have some velcro straps you can use that permanently on your barricade and attach that to the tent and just kind of keep your supplies together like the caution tape.

We got some velcro tabs, you can use this for the remote control surge protector. You can attach one to the top of your Canon and that way it's easy to turn off and on your Canon without having to go somewhere else. They're also important for if you have like a small iPad or or a microphone that you want to get stuck on something. There's a bunch of different ways that you can use stick on velcro tabs. Of course, you want to bring something to play music on I use a Lifeproof case with an iPad old school iPad. That's a great way to use some of your old equipment. And of course always bring some charging cables super important for the person operating your phone machine some ear protection, especially if the sound is right behind them a first aid kit super important just in case you get cut your hands or anything like that some headache medicine some Advil some scissors, of course to cut off the zip ties some gloves to help protect your hands so beach balls to make it fun.

Right, you want to make it fun? This is always a lot easier than blowing with your mouth. I recommend blowing them up before your party. But say you got a lot a small car. Not a lot of space. You may want to get an inflator that also inflates it and deflates it unless you give away the beach balls at your event, which is a nice thing to do next up. We have a backup sub pump. So you might want to get a backup sub pump for whatever reason maybe yours goes out. It's a lot easier to just have one there with you on that. It fits easily inside of a rolly cart, which I go over in another video and break down in storage video. And then some weights you want to at least four weights that are five to ten pounds. These are gonna be used to hold down your tent and there you can also use them to hold down the barricades too. The groove in them fits perfectly for that next up. We have a ladder this ladder is great. Say you're a short person and you want to get up higher on the Canon it also by using a ladder it helps.

You be almost like a lifeguard you can see over the crowd. So the ladders not only useful for that but also for hanging your black lights or anything else, you might want to hang around your tent. So a ladder comes in very helpful and last but not least. We have a speaker. Now, there's a whole bunch of different kinds of speakers different wattages and things like that. So so get on our Facebook group check those out and see which one would be the best for you. But you want to make sure you get a speaker maybe get some microphone or a headset that way you can talk to your crowd or if you're at a school event say the principal wants to say something. It's always great to have a microphone so that people can say what they want to say sing Happy Birthday all those fun things and there you have it. These are some awesome supplies. You can add to your full service phone party to get even more ideas. You can see what other film daddy customers are doing on our Facebook page. And again, make sure to watch the professional full service set up video to see how all of these items come together.
