Grip Equipment
Professional grip equipment for your Serbian production.
Grip equipment includes 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.
We source comprehensive grip equipment packages from local suppliers, scaled to your production's size and complexity. Our team ensures 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
From overhead butterfly rigs on the stages at PFI Studios to compact grip carts for the narrow streets of Belgrade's Skadarlija quarter, we supply grip equipment packages scaled to each Serbian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Our team sources full grip kit packages for productions across Belgrade and the wider region, drawing on a rental base that has grown markedly with Serbia's expanding film-services industry. We supply C-stands, combo stands, flags, nets and silks, frames from small sizes through large butterflies and overhead systems, apple boxes, sandbags, clamps, speed rail and the rigging hardware grip teams need to shape light and place cameras in any environment. Packages are ordered into grip carts and cases for efficient access on set.
Here is the short of it. Every item is checked for working condition before delivery. For a feature based at PFI Studios near Simanovci. We scale the package to the stage and set up it alongside the lighting order so grip and electric work from one compatible inventory. We also supply grip expendables and can pair the package with skilled Serbian key grips and crews who know local conditions. Where a production needs expert rigging or oversized frames not held in Belgrade, we supplement from suppliers across the wider Balkan region.
Here is the breakdown. Serbian locations make different needs on a grip package. The high-ceilinged, level stages at PFI Studios suit large overhead and butterfly systems, while the cobbled streets, stairs and tight courtyards of Belgrade's old town and Skadarlija quarter call for compact carts and grip kit that moves fast. Productions filming at the Kalemegdan fortress, around Novi Sad's Petrovaradin Fortress, in the Djerdap gorge or up in the mountains of Tara. Zlatibor and Kopaonik face wind, uneven ground and weather that all shape rigging and sandbagging decisions.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Serbia's temperate inland climate brings four distinct seasons, with strong summer sun that makes large overhead diffusion frames key and cold winters that demand careful handling of rigging hardware. Serbia's 25 to 30 per cent cash rebate, run through the Film in Serbia programme of the Serbia Film Commission, makes hiring a full local grip package and crew cost-good. As Serbia is not an EU member, grip gear carried in from abroad travels under an ATA carnet for temporary import.
