The mini first aid kit puts the essentials of set medicine in a package small enough to live in a run bag, glove box, or cart drawer. Bandages, antiseptic, and the basic supplies for cuts, scrapes, and blisters, packed into a compact case you will actually have with you when someone needs it, which is the entire point of first aid.
Big wall-mounted kits are great until the injury happens three floors up on location, out at the far end of a parking lot lock-up, or halfway through a company move. That is where the mini kit shines. ACs tuck one into the camera cart for the inevitable filter-tightening knuckle scrape, gaffers and key grips keep one on the cart for the daily nicks of cable and steel work, and every PA and location scout should have one riding in their kit as a matter of professionalism. It handles the small stuff on the spot, a bandage and a wipe-down in ninety seconds, so minor cuts do not turn into a trip to find the main kit while the crew waits.
At this price, the right move is buying several. Scatter them through the trucks, carts, and run bags, restock them when used, and the big kit stays where it belongs, reserved for anything more serious.
