Grip Trucks, Lighting & Crew in Hampton
Fully stocked grip trucks, lighting, and crew support for productions in Hampton — waterfront, institutional, and corporate work across the peninsula.
Hampton, Covered
Hampton sits at the center of the peninsula's institutional work — the air and space center, Hampton University, Langley's presence and everything that orbits it, the waterfront and Buckroe, plus the corporate and government-adjacent shoots that keep crews busy year-round. Photon covers the area: the truck arrives ready with a Photon crew member who knows the package cold, mileage a clean line on your quote.
Work here often means credentialed locations, escorted access, and schedules set by the facility rather than the shoot — plus waterfront conditions that test stands and rags. Bringing a self-sufficient package and a crew member who's worked these kinds of locations means the day runs on your schedule instead of stalling at a checkpoint.
Truck, lighting, power, jib, and the crew conversation — one call covers it. Need grip trucks, lighting, or crew in Hampton? Request a quote and we'll get your production moving.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Yes — Hampton, Newport News, and the peninsula are part of our regular territory. Mileage is a straightforward line on your quote, and for multi-day shoots, production covers the crew member's travel days, lodging, and meals — standard practice, spelled out up front. If your location requires credentials or escorted access, tell us early and we'll plan the day around it.
-
Yes. Trucks are driven to your location by your Photon driver, billed per mile from our Richmond base.
-
Every Photon truck comes with a Photon gaffer who drives the truck, knows the package inside out, and works your shoot. The gaffer's rate is quoted separately. Need more crew — camera, grips, electricians, a full G&E team? We know them all.
-
Mileage runs $2.10/mile from Richmond. For shoots beyond the immediate region, production is responsible for the gaffer's travel days, lodging, and meals — standard practice for out-of-town crew. Multi-day and multi-week rates are available: the longer the run, the more room we have to work with you on the package.

We require a certificate of insurance covering the rented equipment, naming Photon Grip & Electric as additionally insured. Most production insurance policies handle this in a quick email with your broker. Booking without production insurance? Contact us and we'll talk through options.
