Grip Trucks, Lighting & Crew in Northern Virginia
Fully stocked grip trucks, lighting, and crew support for productions across Northern Virginia and the DC metro — corporate, commercial, and location work.
Production Support for the DC Metro
Northern Virginia shoots a lot — corporate and government-adjacent work around the Beltway, commercials in Arlington and Alexandria, branded content on the tech campuses, docs everywhere. Photon works this region constantly: the truck arrives with a Photon crew member who knows the package cold, and mileage is a clean line on your quote.
The region has its own logistics — parking and loading in Arlington and Old Town, building security at corporate campuses, the realities of shooting anywhere near federal property — and a truck crewed by someone who's worked this territory saves your production time on all of it.
Every booking can carry the whole G&E picture: truck, lighting, power, jib, and crew conversations, one call. Need grip trucks, lighting, or crew in Northern Virginia? Request a quote and we'll get your production moving.

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.
