GARGOYLE GRIP

The Equipment

Ready to fly in.

A robust inventory of specialty equipment and complementary accessories to solve the most challenging of creative problems.

Panther S-Type dolly with full camera build in a purple-lit studio

New to the fleet

Camera Support

Panther S‑Type Dolly

The new flagship. German-engineered ride, whisper-quiet column moves you can cut on, and a footprint that squeezes through real-world doorways. This is the piece we build days around.

GF-Multijib rigged on a boat deck at the dock, monitor held overhead

Camera Support

GF‑Multijib with base dolly

Grip Factory Munich arm on a base dolly — floor-level whisper to God’s-eye view in a single move, and repeatable enough to do it again on take twelve.

Remote Heads

Aurora Mini Remote Head

Stabilized kfx Aurora Mini with wheels station and monitor. Hood of a moving car, end of a jib, places an operator can’t stand — the frame stays surgical.

Ronin 2 with full camera build and matte box on location

Remote Heads

Ronin 2 Remote Head

DJI Ronin 2 with a full complement of camera build parts. Jib, cable, car or handheld — rebuilt for the next setup in minutes, not hours.

Car Rigging

Modern Hostess Tray & hood mount

Car rigging, done modern. Hostess tray, hood mount and the full accessory kit to put a lens anywhere on a vehicle — and trust it at speed.

GI Track dolly track loaded on its cart, prepped for the truck

Track & Sliders

GI‑Dolly Track

Straight, level, repeatable. Precision track for moves that land the same way every single take.

Camera slider rigged over a bathtub on a practical location set

Track & Sliders

Camera Sliders 24″–60″

Sliders ranging from 24 to 60 inches — the 8‑Ball 27.5″ up to a full five-foot rail. They live where dollies can’t: tabletops, car interiors, over a bathtub, the last inch of the location.

Sony FX6 documentary build with monitor, recorder and V-mount power on sticks

Camera

Sony FX6 documentary package

A complete documentary build — body, glass, audio, media, power. Show up, roll, and stay rolling all day.

Aputure 600X

600 watts of bi‑color punch. Bowens mount, app control, built for weather.

Aputure Nova 300

Full-color RGBWW panel. Soft, fast, and any color a creative can name.

LiteMat 4L

The gaffer’s favorite pancake. Feather-light, edge-to-edge soft.

Aputure Storm 80c

Compact full-color point source with output that reads outdoors.

Lighting

The Full Grip Complement

C‑stands · combo stands · diffusion frames · solids · flags · nets · rags — if it holds, cuts or shapes light, it’s already on the truck.

Specialty Rigging

The shots nobody
else wants to rig.

Remote head on a jib arm sweeping over a disco ball through neon light tubes — R2 on the jib, sixteen feet over a live floor — music video, New Orleans.

R2 on the wire — cable rig threading the trees, actor holding still.

Snorricam body rig mounted on an actor at a desk, camera facing back at him — Snorricam — when the frame has to live on the actor, *the camera wears him* and the room does the moving.

GF-MultiJib rigged on scissored track on an upstairs balcony landing — Jib on scissored track, waiting for camera. The shot was upstairs — through a narrow doorway, out over a balcony. We got it up there and scissored the track before the company move. *Whatever it takes.*

R2 underslung on the technocrane.

Ronin rigged inside a vehicle interior with speed rail and battery power — Interior vehicle rig — rail, power, head.

Stabilized camera head threading into a narrow root-lined tunnel set piece — The shot called for camera to thread the needle of a portal — *we did the math in advance* to make it possible.

Rail run carrying the camera deep into the tunnel — The shot called for camera to thread the needle of a portal — *we did the math in advance* to make it possible.

Camera rigged off the fender of an SUV on a custom speed rail build with rooftop process seat — Sometimes neither a hood mount nor a hostess tray gets the camera where it wants to be. That’s where *speed rail* comes in.

Hostess trays at highway speed. Heads flown over crowds. Track laid where there is no floor. Specialty rigging is where creative support stops being a slogan and starts being a callsheet line item.

The People

Stoic on the truck.
Watchful on the floor.

Gargoyle Grip is a small New Orleans crew that treats your shot list like a cathedral to defend. We turn up early, rig it right, and stay until the last martini is in the can. We don’t just support cameras — we support the creatives behind them.

The Owner

Connor Sullivan

Dolly grip, best boy, crane & head tech — Connor built Gargoyle Grip around a simple idea: the gear you need should come with the hands that know it best. He’s rigged cameras on cranes, cars, boats and wires across Louisiana, and he always answers his phone. If there’s a tough shot on your storyboards, he’s ready to engineer a way to make it happen.
