Some things to consider getting.
Black foil - used to modify your lighting, very adaptive to many things.
Black and/or white foam core boards from Staples etc - again, for llight control/flagging
Gaffers tape - the duct tape of photography, enough said
Clothes pins/mini clamps - makes clothes fit like they were tailored, holds things together temporarily while you take your snaps.
sand bags/weights - Hold those stands in place and keep from damaging your nice new lights.
Electrical power strip/extension cord - I have a 25ft one that reels into its self and has a 4 outlet socket on the reel, couldn't live without it on location. Funny story, I had a shoot at a salon where they wanted to work in an area that didn't have power outlets. Ever seen a grown man trying to daisy chain power strips for 20 feet....while cussing the fact he didn't have a extension in his location box? Since then I never leave home without it.
And of course all the stuff thats ever been made by Bogen and Mathews for gaffing etc.....but that will come in time....
Just my 2 bits...
Cheers.
Scott
