Back when I ran a studio, my favourite tool was actually my 65" Samsung TV. I had set up my camera to wireless tether images to the screen as I shot them, which always impressed the clients. Because the TV was so large, bright and clear, clients could see it from a distance, which helped achieve the images the client wanted to achieve more easily.

These days, I set up the "studio" on-site at the client's office when needed. Studio lights now work on lithium batteries. Though heavy, it's still portable enough to transport everything you need. My favourite tool now is actually a compact foldable trolley, which allows me to transport everything I need while being able to fit into a booth of a car easily. The colour check passport is also another solid tool that's hard to live without. It's so hard to just decide on "The Favourite Tool".
