About the Matthews MICROGrip Kit:
Rent the Matthews MICROGrip Master Rigging Kit in Los Angeles from F22 Studios. The MICROGrip Master Kit is a complete tabletop and small-scale rigging system, designed for product and tabletop photography, food and beverage commercial work, jewelry and small-object shoots, VFX miniature and stop-motion setups, tight-quarter set decoration rigging, and any production where full-size C-stands and grip gear would be impractical or in the shot.
Traditional grip gear (C-stands, arms, knuckles, cardellinis) is built for lighting a person on a set — not for hiding a bounce card under a bowl of soup or rigging a small light behind a jewelry display. The MICROGrip system solves that problem by scaling the same functionality down: same articulating heads, same three-way adjustability, same safety margins — just miniaturized to fit where full-size gear cannot go. That means you’re rigging with tools that behave the way you already know, in a footprint that fits behind, under, and beside small subjects.
The 148-piece Master Kit includes six MICROGrip grip heads, two weighted bases, and rods in five lengths (4″, 6″, 8″, 12″, and 20″, all 3/8″ diameter) for building custom arm and boom setups. Two MICROGrip shot bags (1 lb each) provide counter-weighting for reach and offset work. Two MICROGrip Plates — one standard with an array of evenly spaced holes for nails or screws, one Nail-On with a T-cutout compatible with the MICROGrip Head — solve the “how do I attach this to a set piece” problem quickly and cleanly. The new Micro Pin, a 3/8″ pin with an undercut for added safety and a 1/4″-20 tap, connects MICROGrip components to standard camera-thread hardware.
Supporting accessories cover the situations where you need something specific: MiniMatthellinis for scaled clamp mounts, Drop Ceiling Scissor Mounts for hanging from ceiling grid, Micro Magnets for stick-to-anything metal mounting, Baby Pins for 5/8″ standard grip compatibility, D-rings, BM1 Bulb Mounts for hanging bulb practicals, hanging safety cables, and a generous variety of bolts and nuts to handle any assembly your setup requires.
The MICROGrip Kit pairs perfectly with the Aputure B7C smart bulbs, Astera PixelBrick lights, and Magforce Pro Magnet Kit for elegant hidden-rig shoots. Ships in a Craftsman transport case that keeps everything organized and mobile between sets. Available now for rental at F22 Studios in Burbank, serving productions across greater Los Angeles.
