Our vehicles are inspected and serviced routinely to ensure optimum performance and reliability during your production. 

Light fixtures are pulled on an “a la carte” basis. We are available to speak with production and/or your DP to pre-determine a list of fixtures needed for the production. We always carry extra fixtures on the truck, which can be pulled if needed.  

See a detailed list of lighting fixtures under “equipment rentals.”

Our 1 Ton Sprinter Package with liftgate is where versatility meets efficiency. This package includes a doze-all cart and no built-in shelving, allowing for easy roll-on, roll-off access. This allows for crew to either work directly out of the truck or roll everything out and work from other locations. Combos and c-stand are conveniently mounted to the interior walls, everything else is on carts. An extra cart is included for stands to be easily rolled off as well. This van can also be converted to an electric van, holding fixtures only- and can be paired with our 2-Ton Sprinter Package,for those large 2-truck jobs.

The micro grip truck is perfect for the indy film or small corporate video.  Our Transit Connect grip van is the first of it’s kind to accommodate 4×4 flags and maintain 6′ 1″ height clearance for even the most challenging urban parking garages. This is used on many corporate talking head shoots where space is tight, but don’t let it’s size fool you, it’s thoughtful design and layout allow for a robust grip package.
