Improve efficiency on set with this SHAPE Stackable Apple Box Set, essential professional grip equipment designed for leveling, elevation, and rigging support in film and photo production. Widely used in film studios, television sets, and photography environments, apple boxes provide a stable and versatile solution for a wide range of production tasks — from leveling dolly track to raising talent to supporting lighting setups.
This low-profile, nestable apple box system is designed for maximum portability without sacrificing functionality. The set includes multiple box sizes that fit securely inside the full-size apple box, allowing grip teams and independent operators to significantly reduce storage space while maintaining a full range of on-set elevation options.
A standout feature of this system is its sliding top lid with an integrated 3/8″-16 threaded female mounting point, which turns the apple box into an instant low-profile mounting point for compatible grip gear and rigging accessories. This adds new flexibility for ground-level mounting, camera support, and lightweight fixture placement.
The full-size apple box follows industry-standard dimensions, ensuring compatibility with traditional grip workflows. The included half, quarter, and pancake boxes are slightly reduced in scale to allow efficient nesting while delivering reliable performance for standard production use cases.
Its durable construction and practical design make this nestable set an essential tool for cinematographers, gaffers, and grip teams seeking compact, multi-purpose production support equipment.
