SCENE 01 / GRIP EQUIPMENT
Grip Equipment
Professional grip equipment for your Colombian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Grip kit has the mechanical hardware used to support, position, and control cameras and lighting on set. C-stands, flags, nets, silks, clamps, and rigging hardware give grip teams the tools to shape light and enable precise camera placement in any environment.
Here is the short of it. We source full grip kit packages from local suppliers, scaled to your production's size and complexity. Our team makes sure all rigging, mounting, and light-control hardware is delivered in working condition, giving your grip department the tools to execute each setup efficiently.

On Location
Movietech dollies, Foxxx cranes and Tiffen Steadicam packages from Reel Films and Cinetech
Grip packages on Colombian shoots are built from the inventories of Reel Films, Cinetech Bogotá, 5.1 Cine, LaBu Films, AndaluCine Medellín and Camara y Acción Cartagena, then trucked to set in the setup your key grip actually wants. Dollies come from Movietech 2, Chapman Lenny 2 and Hybrid IV stock, with slider kits for tight interiors and grip-cart inserts. Cranes scale from a Foxxx 6m up to a Movietech 30' for full feature reach.
Here is how the work shapes up. Steadicam packages cover Tiffen, Volt and Trinity rigs with full kits including Easyrig vests — key for Tayrona shoreline, Sierra Nevada and the four-day Ciudad Perdida trek where operator endurance and weight discipline make or break the day. Gimbal stock runs Movi Pro, DJI Ronin 4D and Ronin 2 packages, and grip stock from Reel Films covers 8' and 12' Lite Grids, Magic Cloth, butterflies, flags, 4x4 fast frames, hi-hats, apple boxes, sandbags and full C-stand inventory.
Here is the breakdown. Colombian locations push grip departments hard in specific ways. Cartagena Walled City prohibits ground penetrations and rigging into heritage masonry under Ministerio de Cultura rules, so freestanding overhead frames and weighted bases replace pipe-clamp options. Caribbean coast wind at Tayrona and Islas del Rosario turns 12x12 frames into sails — we ship oversized sandbag inventory and brief grips on bail-out protocols before the day starts.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Pacific Chocó humidity (13,000mm/year) demands marine-grade hardware and weather covers on each cart. The four-day Ciudad Perdida hike forces a strict weight budget on grip kit, with mule-supported transport up the trail and ATV staging at the trail-head. We plan cart configurations against those constraints, suggest pre-rigged overhead packages where permits allow, and set up Reel Films short-notice top-ups from the Bogotá depot direct to Medellín, Cartagena or unit bases anywhere across the country.
