SCENE 01 / GRIP EQUIPMENT
Grip Equipment
Professional grip equipment for your French production.
Grip kit is the mechanical hardware that holds, places, and steadies cameras and lighting on set. C-stands, flags, nets, silks, clamps, and rigging hardware let grip teams shape light and place cameras with precision in any space.
We source full grip packages from local suppliers, sized to your production's scale and needs. Our team checks that all rigging, mounting, and light-control hardware arrives in working order, so your grip department can build each setup fast.

On Location
Grip hardware and rigging packages across France
Grip work on a French production rarely stays in one mode. A single week can move from a Haussmann interior near the Bastille, to a wide exterior on the Côte d'Azur, to an overhead rig on a Cité du Cinéma soundstage. Each setting tests the gear in new ways. We pull C-stands, combos, apple boxes, sandbags, flag and net sets, and frame textiles from 4x4 through 20x20, drawing on Transpalux, TSF, and Loca-Images stock. Our team then loads it all into neat grip carts, so the key grip can find each clamp and knuckle without opening three cases.
Each package is sized to the real scope of the shoot. A documentary day in Lyon, a Bordeaux car-commercial, and a feature staging large overhead butterflies in Provence all carry different rigging demands. Speed rail, scaffolding, pipe clamps, and matching griffolyn or silk textiles ship pre-checked with the fixtures they pair with. We can also supply skilled French key grips when the shoot needs local hands on the rig. You receive a tested, complete grip inventory delivered to set, plus a backup contact you can reach through each shooting day.
