Hi Mark

I use one of the little red honda gensets (Eu10i 1Kva) and its a ripper. No problems with laptops, cameras, FW or any other sensitive equipment that I have hooked up to it. I run everything through a science lab power supply and only the laptop charger and power supply are plugged directly in the 240V output. Its very small (450mm x 240mm x 380mm) and very light (13kg) so no problems there either. They have an outlet to charge 12V batteries (12V @ 8A) and can be linked to other honda generators to double output if needed. The best thing is they have an eco mode which controls the revs to suit the load. With my laptop, mount, camera, FW, and heaters drawing power the motor never gets much above idle so it will run for 8 hours on a tank of juice (2L). It is very very quiet (52db). To test this I put it in my enclosed carport (with the roller door open) hooked everything up then stood right next to the exhaust and had a conversation with a mate. We never had to raise our voices. They are expensive but well worth it.
