Grip prep checklist

(versione italiana)

Grip prep is the check of dollies, track, stands and grip equipment at the rental house before the shoot. Every piece is built, tested and noted: anything that does not work is replaced there, not on set. The list is generic and does not replace the key grip, who is responsible for the safety of every rig. Fill it in here, on your phone or computer: add the items that are missing, remove the ones you do not need, then download the PDF or send it to the crew and the rental house.
