AppleBox Set

Essential grip equipment for almost every film set

Apple boxes are among the simplest and most versatile pieces of grip equipment used in film, television, commercial and photographic production. They can raise a camera, monitor or light, create a quick platform, support props, level equipment on uneven ground or give an operator or performer a small height adjustment. Because they have no moving parts and can be positioned in several orientations, they are useful for camera, grip, lighting, sound and art departments alike.

This set includes four standard sizes that can be used separately or stacked together. In standard industry sizing, the Full box measures approximately 20 × 12 × 8 inches, the Half 20 × 12 × 4 inches, the Quarter 20 × 12 × 2 inches and the Eighth, often called a Pancake, 20 × 12 × 1 inch. The different heights make it easy to build precise support without improvising with unsuitable objects found on location.

Four sizes for precise height adjustments

The Full box is the most versatile option when a larger lift is required and can also be used as a simple seat or step when appropriate. The Half provides a lower platform for cameras, monitors, props or lighting accessories, while the Quarter is useful for smaller corrections. The Pancake is especially practical when only a minimal 1-inch adjustment is needed, for example when levelling a stand, raising a case or fine-tuning the height of a piece of equipment.

Used together, the four sizes allow the crew to create many different support heights quickly. This is particularly useful during fast-moving shooting days, when a camera position, light or prop may need to be adjusted repeatedly between takes. Their simple rectangular shape also makes them easy to combine with other grip equipment.

Complete four-piece rental set

Our rental package includes one Eighth/Pancake box, one Quarter box, one Half box and one Full box, supplied in a carrying bag. The complete set is a practical choice for productions that want a compact selection of the most commonly used sizes rather than renting individual boxes separately.
