Grip

We use a range of Manfrotto & Libec professional Tripods that are used throughout the broadcast industry. They have superior fluid heads for smooth panning shots. We also use professional body braces such as those used by CNN in America, to capture shots where a tripod will get in the way. This means that we don’t get any camera shake that’s seen in many amateur videos.

We have a range of additional grip in the form of portable Jib's from B.Hague. These are great at live concerts filmed at nightclubs since they allow a great frontal shot that is dynamic in nature. At one instance they can take a shot from a high advantage and then at the next instace they can go low and film the singer's face as she/he reaches down into the crowd.

We can also film tracking shots of the band at the front of the venue with the use of tracking dollies, shown to the left. For Music Videos we also have a variety of clamps and car clamps to film driving sequences.

The use of a variety of grip such as those shown ensure that the video footage does not look too static and stiff but lively and interactive. The use of grip greatly depends upon the Venue that we will be filming at, and the type of music filmed.
