So you need a Grip and Electric Equipment in Las Vegas Nevada, Las Vegas Nevada, what are your options??
Currently there is JR Lighting, Extreme Lighting and Grip, then there is Hunter Langley who owns a lot of stuff and Marty who has a 3 and a 5 ton truck and that is it.
Obviously big guys are right and a lot of the times are pretty difficult to do business with. They will charge for every single item and they don't really have to negotiate.
They open at a certain time and close at a certain time and if you miss the deadline you end up paying for the next day. Working with big guys that's what you get.
Unfortunately, the clients a lot of the times need a better alternative with more flexibilities and that's why they hit us up when they come into Las Vegas and they need to rent out a small to a mid sized Grip and Electric package.
Let's talk about the Electric / Lighting department first.
We can split everything up into
Daylight, Bi-Color, and RGB Categories.
When it comes to Daylight Lighting in our kit we currently carry;
Aputure 600D Pro
Aputure 300D II
Aputure 120D II
In the Bi-Color category we carry:
Aputure 600X
Aputure 300X
Aputure F22X 2'x2' Light mat
In the RGB Category we carry:

Being a Las Vegas local production company that carries its own lights is absolutely crucial in saving out clients money and cutting down on production budgets.
The biggest lights in our kit are the Aputure 600D Pro and the Aputure 600X. Both serve as the flagship key lights in Las Vegas and are perfect for corporate interviews, restaurant commercials, lighting interiors, working on music sets, feature and short films etc. They have just enough firepower to get most of the jobs done.
However lights themselves are not enough without having proper lighting modifiers.
Lighting Modifiers
To the uninitiated, the light needs to be shaped and modified to fit our video purpose. From shooting exteriors to shooting inside, a versatile production company in Las Vegas needs to have the right lighting modifiers to convey the message across.
Here's what we offer
2x 5ft Aputure Softboxes w/ grids
2x Aputure 120 Softboxes
