On Location
Chapman Hybrid IV and Lenny 2 dollies, Movietech 30-foot crane, Tiffen Steadicam, and Avenger C-stand grip inventory through Camara Movil Madrid, Vantage Spain, Welab Plus, and VSV
Here is how this works in practice. Grip kit inventory in Spain runs through Camara Movil Madrid as the prestige Almodóvar and Mediapro partner, Vantage Spain Madrid and Barcelona. Welab Plus Barcelona for top feature and high-end commercial. And Servicios Audiovisuales VSV Madrid for broadcast and series. Dolly inventory covers Chapman Hybrid IV and Pee Wee IV as the LA-default workhorses, Chapman Lenny 2 and Hustler 4 for tighter sets and broadcast. And Fisher 11 cross-rentals when the Mediapro and Filmax stage builds need them.
Here is the short of it. Crane inventory leads with Movietech 30-foot, Foxxx 6-meter, and Stanton Jib 24-foot as the standard reach roster. The same Movietech 30 used on Game of Thrones Andalucía exterior reverses and Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny Cádiz street sequences. Stabilization inventory covers Tiffen Steadicam M2 and Volt classic operator rigs, Trinity for low-mode, plus Freefly Movi Pro, DJI Ronin 4D. And Ronin 2 gimbal builds with the Preston FIZ wireless follow-focus integration.
Here is the breakdown. Avenger C-stand inventory in the standard 40-inch, 20-inch, and Hollywood configurations, Matthews combo stands, plus full apple-box, sandbag. And rigging-hardware roster ship out of the Camara Movil and Welab Plus grip-truck staging at every job. The same trucks that run as primary grip-and-lighting transport between the Madrid and Barcelona unit bases and the location set. Flag and net inventory covers 24x36, 18x24, 4x4, and 8x8 in single, double. And triple-net configurations plus solids and cucoloris cutters for the window-light dappling and shadow-shape work.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Frame inventory runs the 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 12x12, and 20x20 collapsible Current roster. The larger 12x12 and 20x20 butterfly frames are the Andalucía and Almería summer 40°C-plus heat-protocol staple for the talent-and-dolly overhead shade. Russian Arm and Edge Arm specialty grip sets up through the Camara Movil Madrid specialty division for the car-to-car driving work. Heritage-zone Patronato permits at the Alhambra and Alcázar restrict C-stand footprint and dictate floor-mat protection over historic flooring.
