Wedges

A tool for leveling or stabilizing equipment by filling gaps or adjusting height.

Wedges - Overview

Wedges are essential tools for stabilizing, leveling, and securing equipment on set. Whether used to balance camera rigs, prop up scenery, or adjust dolly tracks, these durable wooden wedges provide reliable support in a variety of production scenarios.

Most Common Use-Cases:

  • Leveling Equipment: Wedges are used to level equipment or props, such as cameras, tripods, or lighting fixtures, especially on uneven surfaces. They ensure that everything is properly aligned and stable.

  • Stabilizing Equipment: When filming in dynamic environments, wedges can help stabilize equipment that might otherwise shift or move. For example, they can be placed under camera rigs, monitors, or even props to prevent unwanted movement.

  • Adjusting Angles: Wedges are often used to adjust the angle of equipment or props, such as adjusting the tilt of a camera, lighting fixture, or a set piece to achieve the desired shot composition or lighting effect.

  • Shimming Set Pieces: Wedges are commonly used to shim set pieces, particularly if they are on uneven floors or unstable surfaces. They provide the necessary support to keep the set pieces secure during a scene.

  • Supporting Props and Set Structures: Wedges are sometimes used in stunts or scenes that require precise positioning or balancing of props and set structures. They can hold objects in place or create tension for stunts like falls or crashes.

  • Preventing Rolling: Wedges are often placed under wheels, vehicles, or rolling props to prevent them from moving unintentionally, especially when shooting in specific positions or angles.
