We work on set. We built this for us.
Gripp was born out of a problem every filmmaker, grip, and creator knows intimately — C-stands tipped against a wall, bases rolling across the floor, twenty minutes of chaos before the first shot of the day.
We've been on enough sets to know that the gear holding up your lights deserves better than a corner and a prayer. The people who work with this equipment every day — the grips, the gaffers, the DPs, the solo creators shooting out of a garage studio — they've been solving this problem with bungee cords and wishful thinking for decades.
So we built something.
Made by filmmakers. Built in the USA.
Gripp is a Wisconsin-based company making CNC-cut hardwood storage products for the film and production industry. Every product we make starts the same way — with a real problem we've experienced on a real set — and ends with something simple, well-made, and built to last in the working conditions our industry actually operates in.
Not a factory overseas. Not a product designed by someone who's never touched a C-stand. Gripp is designed and built by people who work in film and video production and know exactly what this equipment goes through on a shoot day.
The Grip Rack was first.
It holds five C-stands — Matthews, Avenger, Kupo, American Grip, all sizes, all base types. It's flat-pack, portable, and built from solid Baltic birch finished with a natural hardwax oil. It fits in the corner of a studio, the back of a van, or the edge of a set without looking out of place.
It looks like an apple box because it belongs next to one.
This is just the beginning.
For the community that showed us what was missing.
The film and grip world is small. Word travels fast, standards are high, and people remember who made them a product that actually worked. That's the standard we're holding ourselves to.
If you work on set, shoot out of a home studio, or just want your space to finally look like the professional operation you're running — Gripp was made for you.
Designed and built in Wisconsin, USA. Gripp — Organized. Ready. On set.
