The Grip Application was created for people in the film industry, more specifically people working in the Grip and Electric (G&E) department(s). The application is an instructional and education tool that can be used as a reference on set as well as manual to study off set. People that are just beginning a career in G&E have very few resources that teach them what will be required of them on set – specifically, the types of equipment they will use and how it works, and when and where to use it on set. Typically, those new to G&E learn by example from the more experienced members in their department – which can often be problematic if they are short staffed, working on a set up that needs to be done quickly (which happens nonstop) or building a rig that requires maximum safety precautions. To excel the knowledge of the beginner and both aid the teachings and update the knowledge of the more advanced, the Grip App is one-quarter dictionary, ¼ equipment statistics and specifications, 25% images and descriptions of equipment, and the remainder – all of this information in practical applications on set!

The Grip App features a wide assortment of equipment pictures, individually and on set, that come directly from the manufacturers. It also includes, equipment specifications, how tos, and step-by-step instructions. Users can read up on and study within 4 categories: 1. Dollies, 2. Cranes (Techno Cranes and Remote Heads), 3. Hardware (Hardware/Tools, Flags, Stands, Expendibles), 4. Rigs (Knots, Condors, Truss, Car Rigs).

Latest reviews of theGripApp app for iPhone and iPad

Très bon
Génial !!
Killer
Next level!! Best production app the industry has to offer.
Fantastic!
Nothing like it! Awesome quick reference when Im running on set - great images (very clear), liked having the specs and love the knots section (please add even more)!
Great for technical terms
Especially useful for learning universal technical names of equipment as used by rental houses. Lacking in common hardware nicknames, but who can keep up with all of them? Straight forward, well organized. Love the dolly specs. Maybe add simple rigs like menace arms or goal posts. Definitely add ratchet straps.
Pretty awesome
Very nice app. Has lots of info on lots of gear. Though there are a few things that bug me a bit: No Panther Dolly stuff. The knot section is cool, but theres no text explaining what the knot is used for. No electric stuff at all. This makes sense, since the app is already chock full of grip stuff. Maybe another app focusing on electric is called for? Other then those minor things, the app is pretty great!
