Kupo Grip Helper (KCP-680B)

Overview

The Kupo KCP-680B Grip Helper is a professional heavy-duty rigging arm designed for supporting diffusion materials such as scrims, silks, and blackouts, while allowing simultaneous use of a lighting fixture from the same stand in film, television, photography, and studio environments.

It features a 45-degree angled steel and aluminium arm with a 4.5" grip head on one end and a 29 mm (junior) receiver on the other, enabling flexible mounting and positioning on standard studio stands. The arm extends from 90 cm to 180 cm, allowing adjustable reach depending on set requirements.

Designed to solve common grip challenges, it enables a single stand to carry both a light source and a modifier (such as a silk or scrim), reducing footprint on set while improving workflow efficiency. The heavy-duty construction ensures stability even when supporting larger diffusion frames.

A built-in grip head provides secure locking and precise angle adjustment, making it suitable for controlled overhead setups where accuracy and rigidity are essential.
