Grip equipment rental

Grip is how light gets shaped and how everything stays safely in place. We rent Matthews C-stands, combo and roller stands, MaxArms and booms, butterfly frames from 6x6 to 20x20 with silks, solids and grids, flags and nets, clamps and rigging, reflector boards, apple boxes, sandbags, ladders and carts.

Our key grips can plan rigging for overheads in Yucatán's wind and sun, and grip packages can ride on the same truck as lighting.
