What is an accessory you have that you just downright love? Can be cross-format, but you (almost) always take it with you on a large format shoot. Not looking for the 'obviously necessary items' like tripods, film, and meters, but the less common things.

I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.
What's yours?
I really like film holders, plastic or wood, and I also really like cloth covered cable releases.
This cuz sometimes I don't want to think. I call it my wheel of fortune LOL

The only trouble with doin' nothing is you can't tell when you get caught up
Sorry, but my favorite has to be my old Berlebach Report tripod that I have carried so many miles in so many amazing places. It reacts to the climate/weather by loosening or tightening up. I've put everything from a DSLR to an 8x10" on it. Just love that thing.
Don't have a favorite accessory yet. I'm about 2-3 weeks into LF, and my entire arsenal includes a tripod, spotmeter, camera, loupe, and film holders. I don't even have a dark cloth yet, I use a towel.
I figured this would be a good place to get ideas. I read in another thread (maybe a different forum), someone was using the Igloo Playmate coolers as carryalls for film holders and other stuff. That seemed like an awesome idea, but also wanted to hear other folks' favorite item they bring along.
