SCENE 01 / GRIP EQUIPMENT
Grip Equipment
Professional grip equipment for your Italian production.
Grip gear is the mechanical hardware that supports, positions, and controls 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 setting.
We source full grip packages from local suppliers, sized to your production and how complex it is. 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 packages from Cinecittà, Milan and Turin rental houses
Grip packages on Italian shoots draw from the deep stocks of Panalight Rome and Milan, Cinecittà Rental, Cargo Studios Bologna and Lumiq Studios Turin, then ship to set laid out the way your key grip wants. We stock C-stands, combo stands, apple boxes and sandbags in working quantities. Flags, nets and silks run from pocket sizes right up to the full 20x20 frames, with textiles to match — silks, solids, griffolyn, ultra-bounce and specialty muslins for Mediterranean light. Speed rail, scaffolding, pipe clamps and overhead systems handle rigging across stages at Cinecittà and the Milan Lambrate hub. Grip carts arrive labelled and pre-ordered, so the Italian grip department can start the moment the truck doors open.
Italian locations test grip departments in specific ways. Centro Storico courtyards in Rome and Florence ban ground stakes under Soprintendenza heritage rules. Wind off the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre turns 12x12 frames into sails. Access roads to Dolomites and Apennine sites cap truck size to vehicles that can clear narrow switchbacks. We plan grip logistics around those limits, with cart setups for tight courtyard work, weighted base options for coastal shoots, and pre-rigged overhead packages when permits allow.
Italian key grips and best boys are ready alongside the gear, with global feature credits from Cinecittà, Sky Italia and Mediaset shoots. Our coordinator stays on call through the schedule to ship replacement items from the Rome or Milan depot. We can also arrange short-notice top-ups direct to unit bases anywhere from Sicily to the South Tyrol.

Speed rail, pipe clamps, and overhead systems handle rigging across stages, so the grip team builds the moment the truck doors open.
Our rental-house network keeps grip stock close to every unit base. Depots in Rome, Milan, and Turin ship carts labelled and pre-ordered for fast access. We plan logistics around the limits Italian locations set on a shoot. Heritage courtyards in Rome and Florence ban ground stakes under Soprintendenza rules. Narrow roads to Dolomites sites cap truck size, so we route gear on vans that clear the switchbacks.
