Our Company

We are a lighting, grip, and camera support rental company headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan - located between Detroit and Chicago, and just minutes from Lake Michigan or downtown Grand Rapids. Our main office and rental warehouse are in the city of Wyoming (southwest Grand Rapids), while our purpose-built studios are nearby in Plainfield Township.

From grip trucks and lighting rentals to studio space and expendables, we support productions of every scale across West Michigan and beyond. We regularly work in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Lansing, Holland, Muskegon, Benton Harbor, and Traverse City - and ship expendables wherever they're needed.

Our History

Dave Lowing started Lowing Light & Grip in his garage in 1985 with a single light kit and a deep background in fabrication, mechanics, and live event production. Over time, Dave's commitment to quality gear and dependable service helped the company grow into a trusted rental house for productions across the Midwest.

Today, we operate out of an 18,000 sq. ft. warehouse and nearby 8,800 sq. ft. studio facility featuring two soundstages and client-ready amenities. Together, these spaces allow us to streamline workflow, centralize resources, and offer a fully integrated production experience.

We continue to serve the creative community with care, precision, and a strong belief in collaboration. Our roots are local, but our reach and reputation are much broader.

Our Locations with a Story

Our warehouse and offices are housed in a restored bakery building once central to Grand Rapids' early Dutch and Latino immigrant communities. After years of vacany, we invested in reviving the space and now host an annual summer gathering to bring together clients, partners, and neighbors.

Across town, our studio facility has its own story. Originally built in 1998 as Deano's Studios, the location was chosen for its acoustic isolation and versatility. In 2017, Lowing Light & Grip acquired the space, creating the regions largest purpose-built soundstage studio for commercial, corporate, and long-form productions.

Our Process

We believe production support is more than just equipment-it's about solving problems, offering guidance, and being a reliable partner from first contact to final wrap.

Our team understands every crew role and speaks the language of production. From translating gear lists and recommending crew to sourcing custom builds or unique rigging solutions, we bring experience, insight, and a collaborative spirit to every project.

We're available 24/7 to handle questions, emergencies, and last-minutes change. For us, consulting is part of the service-not an upsell. Our goal is to help you get the right tools and support for your shoot, not just fill out a packing list.
