Housed in a well-organized Craftsman-style case, the Master Rigging Kit contains all the essentials a filmmaker requires to place lights, cameras, and microphones exactly where they are needed.
The 148-piece kit features a MICROGrip Head with dual 3/8” holes for mounting metal extension rods and a knob grip for tight spaces.
The head also includes a 3/8” Micro Pin with a 1/4-20 tapped thread, making it compatible with a variety of gear mounting options.

The kit offers two styles of rigging plates for mounting. The first is a standard MICROGrip plate, equipped with nail and screw holes for attaching to wood, walls, or furniture.
The second is a MICROGrip Nail-on plate, which features a T-shaped cutout for adding articulating arms or other position-based accessories.
Both styles are ideal for creating tabletop rigs, podcast setups, or small camera light and microphone arrangements.
