The industry-standard Kupo KCP-210 2.5-inch chrome-silver aluminum grip head, featuring an ergonomic oversized T-handle and non-slip friction discs, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Built to lock flags, scrims, and extension arms safely at any angle on fast-paced sets.

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Kupo KCP-210 2.5-inch Grip Head with Big Handle (Silver)—widely referred to in the film industry as a 2.5″ Gobo Head—is a fundamental, highly reliable rigging tool designed for professional gaffers, cinematographers, and commercial studio photographers, making it an essential component for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered to provide absolute locking power where lightweight hardware slips, this heavy-duty die-cast aluminum head utilizes a central pivot system. This allows solo crew members or assistants to lock extension arms, flags, modifiers, or scrims firmly at any precise angle required by the Director of Photography.

When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced corporate video projects, fashion lookbooks, or high-end commercial campaigns in Hong Kong, maximizing on-set rigging efficiency is critical. The KCP-210 stands out with its oversized, ergonomic T-handle, offering massive leverage to tighten the head securely with minimal physical effort. Featuring four distinct V-shaped jaws of varying diameters, it accommodates standard grip accessories flawlessly, while its integrated non-slip composite friction discs ensure that heavy modifiers remain perfectly locked and steady throughout long production days.

Applicable Scenarios:

Secure Flag and Scrim Rigging: Pairs seamlessly with standard C-Stands inside production spaces in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to mount lighting scrims or solid flags cleanly to shape light paths.
Overhead Extension Arm Bridging: Locks heavy steel extension boom arms securely onto vertical support stands during corporate video interviews in Central without experiencing structural slippage.
Surgical Reflector Angle Positioning: Holds portable bounce boards, foam cores, or collapsible reflectors precisely at steep angles over high-gloss tabletop product photography sets.

Oversized Ergonomic T-Handle: High-leverage big handle allows assistant crew members to tighten and lock heavy rigging loads firmly with minimal hand strain.
Four Versatile V-Shaped Jaws: Features pre-cut structural teeth sizes ( $5/8"$ , $1/2"$ , $3/8"$ , and $1/4"$ ) to accept standard grip arms, pins, and accessories flawlessly.
Non-Slip Composite Friction Discs: Advanced internal automotive-grade friction discs provide a steady, reliable grip that naturally resists sudden heavy slipping under load.
Rugged Die-Cast Aluminum Build: High-strength aluminum composition with a durable chrome-silver finish minimizes physical wear while resisting harsh on-set handling.
Universal 5/8-Inch Baby Receiver: Base socket fits cleanly onto the top baby pin of standard light stands, master extensions, or rolling combo stand terminations.

Kupo KCP-210 2.5″ Grip Head with Big Handle (Silver) x 1
(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone grip head only. C-Stands, extension arms, flags, and sandbags are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)

Q: Is the light stand or extension grip arm included inside this rental package?
A: No, it is not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone Kupo KCP-210 grip head only. It is intended for production teams who already have their own support gear or wish to build a custom setup. If you need a complete rigging solution, please remember to add a matching C-Stand and a standard extension arm to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
Q: What is the main difference between a 2.5-inch grip head and a larger 4.5-inch grip head?
A: A 2.5-inch grip head (like this KCP-210) features a standard 5/8-inch receiver and is designed for standard C-Stands, extensions arms, and light modifiers like flags or cutters. A 4.5-inch grip head (often called a Lollipop) features a larger 1-1/8″ Junior pin/receiver system and is built specifically to hold heavy overhead frames or heavy-duty butterfly setups on high-capacity stands.
Q: Does this grip head feature the teeth-locking design or smooth friction plates?
A: The Kupo KCP-210 utilizes high-performance composite friction discs instead of metal teeth. This design provides smooth, continuous angle adjustments and delivers superior holding power when tightened, completely eliminating the teeth-slippage issues common in lower-grade hardware.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
