About us

Behind every tool you see on set is the name of the filmmaker who once invented it.

From grips to grips

We are Filmar Grip Crew, a progressive grips and electricians team from Ukraine with over 10 years of experience in the light and grip department. Our crew is famous for introducing the world's first Low-Floor Grip Truck.

Grip's job has never been easy, and as we faced the same challenges every day, we realised that some common problems could be solved by improving the design of basic grip tools. That is how the Non-Skid Apple Box, Reflective Patch Sandbag and other ideas were born.

After making a series of prototypes for our grip package and testing them on an actual film set, we started to receive requests from our colleagues to produce and sell our tools. Since then we started the serial production of our grip tools. As of 2024, all our products are manufactured in Kyiv, Ukraine.
