Grip Rigs Build Plans No. 01 — Modern Hostess Tray (Printable PDF Guide)

Rig it right the first time.

The Modern Deluxe Side-Mount Hostess Tray is the workhorse for rigging side mounts on vehicles. 

This is the exact build, from an experienced key grip. Not theory — the real order of operations, the real parts, and the safety that keeps the camera on the car.

What's inside this printable PDF:

• Full parts and tools list — every piece linked straight to the product page so you can cart it in one shot

• A link to the full build video so you can watch every step in motion
