Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 those things are important. Although, there are many other <strong>photography studio equipment<\/strong> that are essential to make a shoot work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While natural light shooters have a few key tools they use over and over again, when moving into the studio you\u2019ll realize the endless specialty items available to make your job easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t worked for another photographer \u2014 or spent a lot of time in a studio \u2014 you may not know where to start when it comes to these specialty tools. In this article, I\u2019m going to share my top 10 pieces of grip and other photography equipment that I believe would benefit every studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not need all of these tools right now. But, in the future, you\u2019ll see how they can save you time and effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/emmanuel-acua-f3P6xfrj2P8-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/emmanuel-acua-f3P6xfrj2P8-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/emmanuel-acua-f3P6xfrj2P8-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/emmanuel-acua-f3P6xfrj2P8-unsplash-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/emmanuel-acua-f3P6xfrj2P8-unsplash.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo from Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>C-Stand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"AEA2033LK\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"AEA2033LK\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you need to support more weight or have more stability, a C-stand is the right choice. These larger stands are a&nbsp;<em>must<\/em>&nbsp;if you have a heavier modifier (for example, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/bcb3360100.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Octabox<\/a>) or need to have a light boomed out overhead of your subject. A standard stand just won\u2019t cut it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C-stands are much heavier, less portable, and more expensive than standard stands. Although, when it comes to safety, you\u2019ll pretty much always want your main stand to be a C-stand or Roller Stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C-stands (short for &#8220;century stands&#8221;) are a staple of any studio. Plus, it&#8217;s not just about the safety of your subjects. When you invest in studio lighting, you won\u2019t want to attach that to a cheap, lightweight stand that is certain to topple over and break your gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sandbags and \u201cPumpkin Heads\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"MT299553\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"MT299553\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These are two categories of weights are an important way to stabilize your stands and equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using a C-stand with an arm, you will want to put a sandbag on the tallest leg of the stand with the weight of the arm aligned out over that larger leg. This is the most stable position. I recommend grabbing a couple 25 lb. \u2014 or (minimum) 15 lb. \u2014 bags.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using a larger arm (like a mini-boom or other option), you will need to use a counter weight to help balance out the weight of a heavier modifier. This balance can be achieved in a few ways, including a &#8220;pumpkin head&#8221; (nicknamed for its orange color and round shape) which can attach to the arm itself for balance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Knuckle \/ Grip Head<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"TPSPK\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"TPSPK\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A grip head (commonly know as a knuckle) is a versatile tool for attaching things to a C-stand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a C-stand arm will attach to the stand itself using a grip head. These knuckles can be used to attach a wide range of items including<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lighting-and-Studio\/Light-Stands-and-Mounting\/Grips-comma-Clamps-and-Arms\/Clamps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> clamps<\/a>, Cardellini clamps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lighting-and-Studio\/Light-Modifiers-and-Reflectors\/Reflectors-and-Accessories\/Reflectors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reflectors<\/a>, foam core, flags and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boom Arm \/ Mini-Boom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"AED600\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"AED600\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A mini-boom is a powerful tool to allow you to adjust and boom your light out into a scene without the stand getting in the way. Having a telescoping mini-boom is great when trying to achieve paramount lighting, or perhaps a light elevated above the subject\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a C-stand arm is good for smaller modifiers \u2014 or when just slightly booming a light \u2014 you will need a mini-boom (or larger) if using a sizable modifier or you want lighting from top-down on your subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most boom arms also have a hook on the end of the arm that allows you to attach counter weights and sandbags for improved stabilization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flags<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"MT169062\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"MT169062\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A flag is used to block light. You can buy collapsible flags in a kit (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/wef24k.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Westcott flag kit<\/a>) or more traditional flags (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/trp2436s.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manfrotto 24&#215;36 flag<\/a>) to block light off of the floor, background, or subject. They are also great for reducing unwanted reflections or negative fill for deeper shadows on the subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some flags are somewhat translucent (nets) to allow some light to pass through. A flag can attach to a C-stand or C-stand arm by securing it to a knuckle or grip head.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cardellini Clamp<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"MT420110\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"MT420110\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These clamps are available in a variety of different sizes. They are great for&nbsp;&#8220;holding things.&#8221; You can use them to secure a piece of foam core, cinefoil, a reflector, and even support a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/glrpsc2436k.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scrim<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large Cardellini clamps (3\u201d to 6\u201d for example) can even be used to hold a background. Cardellini clamps are usually attached to a C-stand using a knuckle or grip head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roller Stand<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"AEA5043\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"AEA5043\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a great benefit to have your main light on a rolling stand because you can make tweaks to the position of your light without a lot of effort. A C-stand (with a sandbag) can be heavy, awkward, and cumbersome to move. Having a roller stand makes moving the light effortless. This helps you achieve more precise lighting results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, roller stands come in a variety of sizes with different width of the bases. The wider bases create extremely stable results and are mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apple Boxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"MT259535\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"MT259535\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"KUKG087411\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"KUKG087411\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple boxes are great for anything that needs to be propped up or supported temporarily. They can act as a step, seat, to prop furniture, or to balance out part of the scene. It is hard to describe all the ways apples boxes can be used.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, I use them if I just need a little more height above my subject, or if I need to sit on the ground but want to be slightly above ground-level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple boxes come in different sizes based upon their height. There&#8217;s usually full, half, quarter, and pancake. You can even buy nesting apple boxes that contain different sizes within a single box for portability and condensing space in a smaller studio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Autopoles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"BG077\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"BG077\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"BG032BASEB\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"BG032BASEB\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Autopoles are versatile poles that can be used as background stands, supporting lighting, and more. It can be freestanding using a tripod base&nbsp;<em>or<\/em>&nbsp;use tension to connect between the floor and ceiling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many instances, a standard background stand will be sufficient. However, autopoles become an invaluable tool when working with greater heights or when you want to limit the space taken up by stand legs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if working in a small space, you can\u2019t usually get your stand flush to a wall because of the tripod legs \u2014 autopoles remove this limitation. Since I have used autopoles for my backgrounds in the studio, I have never looked back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Floor Stands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"BGMS0490C\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"BGMS0490C\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographers often only focus on getting larger and more stable stands, but forget the benefits of very small and compact stands.&nbsp;Floor stands sit low to the floor and are perfect any time you need light at a lower angle, hidden directly behind your subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use floor stands primarily for two reasons. First, I use them when I need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-is-a-fill-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fill light<\/a> in front of my subject and below eye level to create clam shell lighting. Next, I use them when I want to light the background by centering a light behind my subject. Once you have one, I guarantee you will reach for it often!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, this photography studio equipment won&#8217;t necessarily &#8220;make the shot.&#8221; But this gear <em>will<\/em> make your life easier.
