Matthews MICROGrip Master Rigging Kit

Matthews MICROGrip Master Rigging Kit (350647)

The Matthews MICROGrip Master Rigging Kit is a comprehensive professional rigging system designed for precisely mounting cameras, compact lights, reflectors, flags, props and other accessories where conventional grip equipment is simply too large or cumbersome.

MICROGrip really comes into its own in product photography, e-commerce studios, tabletop photography, food photography, miniature sets and specialist camera rigs. Its compact components allow equipment and props to be positioned extremely close to the subject while keeping stands and larger grip equipment away from the shooting area.
For product photographers in particular, the system provides an incredibly adaptable collection of mounting components. Cameras, small lights, flags, reflectors, props and accessories can be supported, extended, clamped, suspended or positioned using a combination of MICROGrip heads, rods, plates, pins, Mini Matthellinis, magnets and mounting hardware.

The Master Rigging Kit brings together 148 individual components, providing a substantial selection of MICROGrip equipment in one organised system rather than building a rigging collection piece by piece.

Ideal for

• Product and e-commerce photography studios
• Tabletop and still-life photography
• Food and drinks photography
• Jewellery, cosmetics and small product photography
• Miniature and model photography
• Holding and positioning props
• Mounting compact cameras and specialist camera systems
• Positioning small LED lights, reflectors and flags
• Overhead and unusual-angle mounting
• Building permanent or temporary tabletop rigs
• Studios where reducing the number of floor stands is important
  

Why MICROGrip?

The advantage of MICROGrip is its ability to create small, precise and highly adaptable support structures around a shooting area. Using the supplied rods, grip heads, mounting plates and clamps, photographers can build a rig specifically around the product rather than trying to adapt full-size studio grip equipment to a small set.
The system can be reconfigured as requirements change, making it particularly useful in busy commercial studios where one day may involve photographing jewellery or cosmetics and the next larger products, food, packaging or creative still-life work.

For professional studios regularly shooting products or working with smaller sets, the Matthews MICROGrip Master Rigging Kit is less a collection of accessories and more a complete studio problem-solving system.
