Grip Services

Here is how this works in practice. We give grip kit and skilled grip crews for shoots across Austria. The grip department handles camera support and movement — dollies, track, cranes, jib arms, sliders — and the rigging that makes shots in person possible, from car mounts to overhead and wall-mounted fixtures. Our key grips lead crews that build, balance and operate this gear safely, working alongside the camera and electrical departments.

Here is the short of it. We supply grip packages scaled to the job: a compact slider-and-dolly kit for documentary and commercial work, or a full crane-and-track complement for feature production. Gear is sourced through set up Austrian rental houses in Vienna and the regional centres. Our team sets up delivery, setup and strike across studio facilities such as the Rosenhügel Filmstudios and locations across the country.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Austria's terrain and venues shape grip planning. Exterior work in the alpine regions — the Ötztal, the Grossglockner area, the Vorarlberg and Tyrolean peaks — means moving track, cranes and rigging over uneven, often steep ground, in cold that affects hydraulics and mechanics. Our grip crews plan transport and footing to match.

Here is the breakdown. Heritage interiors at the Belvedere, the Hofburg and the UNESCO-listed centres of Vienna and Salzburg limit floor protection, rigging points and gear load, and our key grips work within those conservation needs, cleared in advance with the Vienna Film Commission and Bundesland authorities. Crews operate under the Austrian Kollektivvertrag collective agreements.

We advise on how grip kit rental and crew days fit the ÖFI+, FISA+ and regional rebates structure — so the shoot budgets reflects the real cost of safe, well-supported camera movement.
