Grip and Stands

Rent a Lowboy Combo stand (or Lowboy Combi stand as they are sometimes known) when you need to get something heavy, close to the ground. Renting lowboy combo stands is perfect for Dana dollies or other slider systems as well.

Some people call this a Combi stand.  Some call it a Combo stand.  What’s the difference?  Well, one type has a swing out boom arm and the other type has both a 1-1/8″ receiver and a combo 5/8″ receiver and spud/stud.

The two terms usually get interchanged, but technically this is a Combo stand with both sets of receivers, not the one with the swing out boom arm which is a Combi.  Anyway, none of that really matters, you can call it a Combi, we don’t care, we know you probably mean this type if you work in Vancouver.  We don’t carry the swing out boom type, but we do rent separate boom arms in several lengths.

Do you need to get lights overhead of talent, but don’t need the huge size of a Menace Arm?  This Impact boom arm will do the job up to 7′ without putting a dent in your budget.  Great for medium or small fresnels or LEDs and super portable as well.  Just remember, you’ll also need a stand and a sandbag with this one (save your crew, go for a heavy stand!)

It’s a C stand… but shorter and cuter!  Sometimes you need to fly your lights low and this baby C stand does the job.

Rent a Manfrotto Magic Arm for mounting items like DSLRs, small lights, reflectors or bounces, and dozens of other applications.  We love them!

This is a very light weight mini arm suitable for monitors 7″ or smaller, GoPro cameras and other light weight devices.  We also have them for sale!

Duckbill clamps are great for holding flat things like foamcore or reflectors, and usually have a 5/8″ spud for attaching to C stands.

Pony clamps, or A clamps as they are sometimes known, are a staple on set for lighting, gels, backdrops or safety use.  Don’t get caught without them!

Rent portable truss for a small stage or performance or for a party or DJ booth.  Email us for party and event lighting package combos!
