Grip Heads & Arms - Lock Your Lighting with Strength and Precision

Grip heads and arms are the unsung heroes of every studio and on-location setup. These sturdy tools allow photographers and filmmakers to position lights, modifiers, flags, scrims, and backdrops with exact control. Built for strength and adjustability, grip gear ensures that your setup stays locked in place, even during long shoots or under heavy loads. At Samy's Camera, you'll find grip solutions trusted by professionals in both commercial and creative environments. For a complete setup, explore our full selection of Light Stands & Grip Equipment.

Choosing the right grip gear for your studio or set

Selecting the right grip gear depends on the weight of your equipment, the shooting environment, and the level of flexibility you need. Standard grip arms are ideal for boom-mounted lights or flags, while double grip heads allow for more advanced rigging. Durability, locking strength, and compatibility with other stands or clamps are key factors to keep in mind. For full lighting control, many professionals combine grip gear with high-output Studio Lighting for flawless scene execution.

Popular Types of Grip Heads & Arms


Standard Grip Arms

Also called extension arms or boom arms, these provide extended reach to position lights or modifiers off-axis. They're most commonly used with C-stands and light stands for overhead lighting setups.

Single Grip Heads

Grip heads lock accessories like scrims, flags, and reflectors into place. With strong friction control, they're a reliable option for static scenes or precise modifier positioning.

Dual Grip Head Combinations

Often used in more complex setups, dual grip configurations offer versatile control over both vertical and horizontal movement. These are essential for gaffers and studio techs managing multiple light points.

Benefits of Grip Heads & Arms


  • Reliable Locking Power - Keep gear steady during long or multi-angle shoots.
  • Flexible Mounting Options - Attach flags, reflectors, and modifiers with ease.
  • Durable Construction - Built to handle repeated use in tough studio or field conditions.
  • Modular Compatibility - Works seamlessly with stands, clamps, and other support gear.

Grip Heads & Arms FAQs


What's the difference between a grip head and a grip arm?

A grip head is the locking mechanism that secures gear in place. A grip arm is an extension tool used to position items off to the side or above. Together, they offer full directional control.

Do I need a specific stand to use grip heads and arms?

Grip heads and arms are most compatible with C-stands and other industry-standard light stands. Make sure the diameter and locking mechanisms match your existing setup.

Can grip gear be used outside the studio?

Absolutely. Grip heads and arms are often used on location for outdoor shoots, interviews, and film sets. Their stability and flexibility make them ideal for portable lighting rigs.
