Traditionally, lighting and grip departments often keep wooden wedges ready in a box. The camera department, however, does not always have the same easy access, despite wedges being useful for stabilising and balancing a wide range of equipment. The Masaki Carabiner Wedge helps bring that convenience into the camera workflow, making it easier for ACs, assistants, and crew members to keep wedges close at hand.

Useful for stabilising and reducing minor wobbles on Magliner carts, hi-hats, apple boxes, tripods, dollies, tracks, and other production gear. Its integrated carabiner-style shape allows each wedge to be carried around a belt loop, clipped to a cart, or kept with essential camera and grip accessories, helping make it a staple consumable for daily set life.

Following development discussions with Filmsticks, the design was strengthened for improved durability, rigidity, and reliability in professional environments. This Filmsticks edition is made from ABS material with a Metallic Silver finish, offering a lightweight yet robust wedge suitable for regular production use.

Small, simple, and highly useful, the Masaki Carabiner Wedge is built for the realities of fast-moving sets, where the right tool should always be within reach.
