SCENE 01 / GRIP EQUIPMENT
Grip Equipment
Professional grip equipment for your Romanian 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
Grip equipment gives crews the hardware to shape light and place cameras precisely across Romania, from the stages at MediaPro Studios in Buftea to medieval courtyards in Transylvania.
Here is how this works in practice. We source full grip packages from the deep, mature rental base in Bucharest, built over three decades of servicing global shoots, covering C-stands, combo stands, flags, nets, silks, frames, apple boxes, sandbags, clamps and rigging hardware. Our team scales the package to the production, reviewing locations and the gaffer's lighting plan to specify the quantities and frame sizes each setup needs, from 4x4 frames up to 20x20 overheads with matching textiles.
Here is the short of it. Gear is ordered into grip carts and cases for fast access on set. We can supply complete grip trucks loaded and laid out for efficient daily work. For rigging and overhead installations we give speed rail, scaffolding and pipe clamps, and we can bring in skilled Romanian key grips and grip crews who know local conditions and work efficiently alongside visiting departments. Grip expendables travel with the package or are supplied separately. Our team keeps replacement items and extra hardware on call through the shoot so the grip department is never held up.
Here is the breakdown. Romania is one of Europe's most set up and cost-competitive production destinations. Its locations make different needs on a grip package. Productions move from controlled stage floors at MediaPro Studios in Buftea and Castel Film Studios to the uneven cobbles and tight courtyards of UNESCO-listed Sighisoara and Corvin Castle at Hunedoara. On to exposed exteriors in the Carpathians, where heavily sandbagged stands and secure rigging are key against mountain wind.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. The state-aid cash rebates of up to 45% on eligible Romanian spend, administered through the Romanian Film Centre (CNC), the CNC, makes sourcing grip locally attractive on the budget. As an EU member now inside the Schengen Area, Romania lets grip hardware move freely from elsewhere in the EU with no ATA carnet, so extra frames and rigging cross-rented from regional houses reach set fast. Non-EU shoots still need a carnet. The temperate land-based climate brings cold, snowy winters that suit winter shoots but call for extra weighting of stands and overheads in wind and snow load.
