Enhance on-set efficiency with this SHAPE Nesting Apple Box Set for film and photography production, a must-have piece of professional grip equipment designed for leveling, elevation, and rigging support. Widely used in film studios, broadcast sets, and photography environments, apple boxes provide a stable and versatile solution for a wide range of production tasks—from leveling dolly tracks to raising talent or supporting lighting setups.
This space-saving nesting apple box system is designed for maximum portability without sacrificing functionality. The set includes multiple box sizes that nest securely inside the full-size apple box, allowing grip crews and owner-operators to significantly reduce storage space while maintaining a complete range of elevation options on set.
A standout feature of this system is the sliding top lid with a built-in 3/8"-16 female threaded mount, which transforms the apple box into an instant low-profile mounting point for compatible grip hardware and rigging accessories. This adds new flexibility for ground-level mounting, camera support, and lightweight fixture placement.
The full-size apple box adheres to industry-standard dimensions, ensuring compatibility with traditional grip workflows. The included half, quarter, and eighth-size boxes are slightly reduced in scale to enable efficient nesting while still delivering reliable performance across standard production use cases.
Durable construction and practical design make this nesting set an essential tool for cinematographers, gaffers, and grip crews seeking compact, multi-purpose production support gear.
