Grip and Stands

Great for holding boards, foamcore, or making grilled cheese sandwiches, the Quacker (quacks like a duck) or Duckbill or Quaker (Quacker spelled wrong) or Plate (holds a plate) clamp…. HAS WAY MORE NAMES THAN IT NEEDS.  Anyway, WYSIWYG!

The Cardellini clamp is one of the most versatile clamps on a film set, allowing you to place a baby spud on fairly thick objects from pipes in the ceiling to small trees!

Rent C-Stands because you’ll need them for something on set!  One of the most versatile tools for holding lights and reflectors to placing cameras in odd positions, to getting in some arm curls between takes.  Why hasn’t anyone been able to make these lighter in the last hundred years???

Do you need to mount a light, or anything else with a 5/8″ receptacle on the floor?  You need a low light stand, slang term “crow’s foot”.  At least that’s the polite slang term…

Mafer clamps, also known as Super Clamps, will let you mount nearly anything to whatever you can clamp it on to.  Or, mount it to the top of a light stand via the female 5/8″ baby socket and use to to clamp down anything from cross bars to boom poles.

A great all purpose clamp for mounting lights or accessories to pretty much anything.

Sandbags are the cheapest insurance you can get against someone knocking over expensive lights.  Beyond there they have many other uses from camera rests to counter weights, but if you’re taking some heavier lights you should take some sandbags as well.

Rent apple boxes for your film shoot or video production for all sorts of purposes.  One of the most handy things you can have.
