What an expensive hobby!

I have the camera picked, but haven’t had the opportunity to purchase the thing.  I’m checking out light kits in the mean time.  Wow! This shit is expensive!  I want to spend my money on quality were it really matters.  I think that includes 3 things:  1. Camera 2. Lighting 3. Audio.  I feel that everything else can be made or borrowed.  I’m pretty set on the XH-A1 to shoot with.  I work with Lowel lighting in TV and can’t find any reason not to spend the extra money for that quality.  As far as audio is concerned, that will probably be another post.  What do you think about the Lowel DV Creator kit (pictured)?  It comes with 3 distinct lights with stands plus barn doors.  It has a number of gels, umbrella, diffusion, etc.  It costs about $1000.  It’s uses for the purpose of the film will probably be limited to formal interviews with most other shots to be daytime/exterior.  Would love some feedback.
