Gaffer Owned
Privately owned by IATSE 728 gaffer Brett Carleton, we work one-on-one with gaffers, key grips, best boys and set technicians to provide streamlined service and on-the-spot problem-solving. Need something after-hours? You will always find someone to take your call. Our mission is to always be available to support your show, and ensure our equipment runs smoothly and efficiently.

Our staff has logged thousands of hours both on set and in the shop. We have a deep knowledge of our rental inventory and can provide our clients with technical assistance and troubleshooting in the shop and on location. We are committed to optimizing your rental experience.
Quality Gear
In over 20 years of operation, we’ve created a robust rental inventory of grip and electric equipment. From 1st class studio vehicles, to the latest in LED lighting, data and power distribution, complex grip or lighting rigs and much more – we’ll always have you covered.
