In fact, most of the grip equipment we use today started as garage prototypes, built out of necessity by some handy guy. Walk onto any <strong>well-equipped grip truck<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll find some homemade gadget that is a one-off item built specifically for an ambitious shot. Every film project I\u2019ve worked on has required some rig or jig not found anywhere else in the industry. Challenging these self-taught engineers is fun, and more often than not, they come up with something\u00a0that works really well<\/p>\n<p>I certainly don\u2019t have all the tools to fabricate something elaborate, but every now and then I come up with something that works, and I use it constantly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-88389 size-full\" title=\"Build Your Own Butt\/Pedestal Dolly for under $140 \u2014 Components\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg\" alt=\"Build Your Own Butt\/Pedestal Dolly for under $140 \u2014 Components\" width=\"755\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg?resize=300,134 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg?resize=277,124 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg?resize=359,161 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg?resize=543,243 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg?resize=560,251 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/components.jpg?resize=150,67 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With these <strong>three inexpensive items<\/strong>, you can construct a dolly that is in wide use today.
