Rigging
List fixture weights, frame sizes, overhead needs, camera moves, surface restrictions, and any unusual mounting condition.
GLM / DFW rentals / Grip packages
Grip packages are logistics systems. The useful request connects fixtures and camera movement to stands, frames, fabrics, hardware, sandbags, expendables, vehicle capacity, parking, load-in, and crew.
The buyer decision
Start with the shot plan and location constraints, then work backward to the smallest package that can rig, shape, move, and strike safely.
List fixture weights, frame sizes, overhead needs, camera moves, surface restrictions, and any unusual mounting condition.
Map diffusion, negative fill, solids, nets, bounce, wind exposure, and the stands or hardware each position needs.
Confirm vehicle access, parking, ramp or dock conditions, elevators, push distance, crew, and strike window.
Before you send
Clean handoff
Send the shot list, location constraints, frame sizes, fixtures, camera moves, crew plan, and vehicle access. GLM will review the requested grip package and confirm what is available for the dates.
Practical answers
No. Equipment and labor are separate unless the written quote says otherwise. Include the crew plan so GLM can identify whether the requested package needs experienced grip support.
No. A request starts GLM's review. Equipment, dates, quantities, fulfillment, insurance requirements, and the final invoice are confirmed before a rental is booked.
