The world's best griphead. Available always at 520 Rosebank Rd.

We are extremely proud of the features and top notch quality found in Matthews Studio Equipment! Our gear is designed within the industry, support solutions born on sets and in the studio. We have always worked hand-in-hand with creators and innovators to introduce World Class Gear to the image making community and beyond. We appreciate your trust in The Original Hollywood Grip Company.

This kit is for "when I want to go out with the Full Monty." - John Roche from Gaffers Salon talking about his Octa Kit. Watch his video review of the Octa Kit in the comments.

For those of you on your way over to our BBQ

If you bought these from us get in touch and we'll organise your replacement (Ask for Ruthe)

Dirty Rigger Gloves & Accessories have issued the following Safety notice. If you bought these items from us please get in touch (ask for Ruthe) and we'll organise your replacement - otherwise you can contact Dirty Rigger direct.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE (UPDATE - January 2024)
We previously issued a safety notice informing users of an inaccuracy that may have occurred during the testing phase of the Dirty Rigger Interchangeable Lanyard and the Dirty Rigger Podger Lanyard. At that time, we recommended all users stop using these products while we investigated further.

Unfortunately, this investigation is still ongoing and has taken much longer that we would have liked.

We appreciate the delay is not our customers fault and this is not the service we like to offer. As a result, we're offering a free exchange & upgrade to the new Dirty Rigger Interchangeable Lanyard V2.0.

We politely ask that our dealers forward this information onto their customers and support them with this exchange & upgrade. Alternatively, if preferred, customers can contact Dirty Rigger directly.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to have this matter addressed as soon as possible. Again, your safety, and the safety of those around you, is our absolute priority.

For more information, please contact us on the below details.

Large Kupo order in from Kupo Grip TW. Half headed out the door to a few customers and a large install. The rest for sale at PLS. Over the next few days I'll share a few of the new items we got in, so watch this space.

Very chuffed to be advised that our work on the ANZAC Dawn Service OB for Whakaata Maori has been awarded the gong in Best Live Event Coverage category at the NZTV Awards.
Very pleased to have been lighting this event for all of its 18years. Thanks must also go to my team of Ian Philip, Jason Kritos, Craig McDonald, Ivan Panchon, Steve Gaspar, and others that I have forgotten. Also the variable team in the hire dept, who have propped the gear, and then sorted the sometimes shambolic return after a wet day & night.

"Last days Killing it, Season 2. More fun and games and business, all business. Shooting on the Universal Studios lot. It's probably the most famous lot in the world. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this show. I've watched every episode from last season and you should check it out. It's really funny and one of the Peacock Networks flag ship shows. D.P. Judd Overton and Gaffer Kyle Massey bring the magic that sets the look of the show. Pictured are the Local 728 lighting crew and the local 600 camera crew. "⁠
