GF-Grip Kit
Plates and legs that build the base a shot needs.
A centre plate and a handful of extension legs — that is the whole system, and it is enough to build a bazooka base, a track dolly, a rolling spider or a camera mount that exists for one shot only. Nothing in it is dedicated to a purpose: the legs bolt to the plate in the length and the number the job asks for, the ends of the legs take levelling bolts, studio wheels or track wheels, and the whole kit packs back into one flight case.
The plate decides what stands on it
Order the centre plate as a Mitchell, as a Euro adapter or as a Euro clamp. Whichever it is, from there up it takes the whole range of GFM mounts — Combi Rig tubes, Mitchell and bowl mounts, fixed risers and adjustable gas risers — and from there down nothing changes: the same legs, the same wheels and the same levelling bolts fit all three.
Four lengths, up to five at a time
Extension legs come at 12, 21, 31 and 41 cm, and up to five of them go on one plate. How many sets the footprint — three for a spider that stands anywhere, four or five where the load wants spreading. How long sets the gauge: 21 cm puts the wheels on narrow track, 41 cm on standard track. Two further legs are built for 46–49 mm scaffold tube instead of the plate.
What it becomes on set
The plate and the legs are the constant; what they carry and what they run on are not. Add a dolly platform, a seat arm and a push bar and the kit is a dolly. Swap the track wheels for studio wheels and it rolls on the floor. Leave the wheels off, set the levelling bolts, and it is the base a riser stands on.
