What the thread found

• Many professional operators maintain a philosophy of carrying backups for every critical component; cables warrant three spares minimum.
• Below the level of a complete second rig, priorities include a second monitor of equal size, every cable type, fasteners and screws, hex keys and screwdrivers, batteries and chargers, dovetail plates, rods, rod clamps, rigging brackets, and small parts prone to being lost in darkness behind a case.
• A budget-conscious approach focuses on a spare monitor, a replacement arm block such as the G-70, spare buttons, straps, foam, and padding for the vest.
• Personal reserves beyond the rig include dry socks, spare shoes, and a change of clothes.
• The Steadicam® Manual of Style includes a dedicated chapter on equipment lists that covers this topic.

Depends on

• Priorities depend on rental or owned rig status, budget, and frequency of work.
