What we do
One point of contact for the whole grip department
We do not split the responsibility. Whether it comes from our warehouse or from a house we work with, the grip department answers to the same standard, with one person answering the phone.

Kit listed by name, not by category
Camera departments ask for specific models, not categories. These are ours, each with its own spec sheet.
Why CFS
What sets us apart is not the inventory
Certified for rope-access work
Our grips hold rope-access certification. We can take on height rigging without subcontracting, and without the safety plan turning into a scheduling problem.
Nautical licences on the crew
The camera boat is crewed by the same team that rigs the crane. That removes the usual coordination gap between the shoot and an outside boat crew.
Our own workshop, bespoke solutions
When nothing in the inventory solves the shot, we build it. Side rigs, mounts and bespoke supports come out of our workshop in Bilbao.

Coverage
We leave Bilbao and go wherever the shoot is
The base is in Bizkaia, but the kit travels. We work regularly across mainland Spain, the Canary and Balearic Islands, and cross the border for shoots in southern France, Portugal and Morocco.
