Description
Grip gear can be as important to crafting the lighting for a scene as the light fixtures. Often, more important–you can block, diffuse, shape, bounce and breakup the light using these tools. This is very crucial in creating a textured, realistic (or fantastic) look that is visually much more interesting than just blasting the light onto your subject.
Here’s a look at the most essential grip items. These are all available to rent for very reasonable rates at film lighting rental companies. You can rent just a few items, or complete packages, even a grip truck to carry it all to the set. Or you may wish to buy. I’ve kept grip gear far longer than any camera gear. It never goes obsolete.
Made of stainless steel for a durable and sturdy build, this chrome 20″ Double Riser C-Stand with Grip Head and Arm from LUK comes with all the critical components you need to get into the grip game. The main C-stand is composed of three sections, reaching a maximum height of 63.4″ and going as low as 30″ during use. Complementing it is a 2.5″ grip head with 3/8″-16 and 5/8″ mounting holes, as well as a 20″ grip arm, all in the same finish.
The stand can support gear as heavy as 22 lb, including some fixtures and large lighting accessories. It features a spring-loaded base, which measures around 21.3″ in diameter when folded and extends to 27.5″ when deployed. At the top is a 5/8″ stud for mounting the grip head, or directly attaching other equipment if desired.
