RoscoGrip™ Strips - Stick It On To Dim It Down

Rosco Camera & Practical Light Control RoscoGrip™ Strips RoscoGrip Strips are an N.6 neutral density filter roll designed to reduce the light output of non-dimmable light sources quickly, cleanly and consistently. For film crews, gaffers and lighting teams, it is a practical way to tame small light sources that read too hot on camera without wasting time cutting tiny ND pieces from larger sheets. Whether you are working on headlights, emergency vehicle lights, LED signage, light boxes, dashboard elements, indicator lights or bright set practicals, RoscoGrip helps speed up setup and makes quick work of repeated applications across multiple small sources. Easy application – just stick it to any clean and flat surface, then trim it to size Repositionable, medium tack adhesive N.6 Neutral Density 24.4% Transmission / 2 Stop Loss Why RoscoGrip Exists On set, the issue is often not whether ND filtration works, but how long it takes to apply it neatly to small, awkward, bright practical sources. RoscoGrip is built for that exact workflow. It gives crews a faster, cleaner and more repeatable way to reduce glare and output on flat, non-dimmable light sources without constantly measuring and hand-cutting small pieces from full filter sheets. Where RoscoGrip Is Used Headlights Reduce the intensity of vehicle headlights that flare on camera or overpower the frame in night exteriors and controlled shoots. Emergency Vehicle Lights Useful when practical emergency lights need a more camera-friendly output while still preserving the intended look. LED Signage Ideal for illuminated signs and display elements that are reading too bright, too contrasty or distracting on camera. Dashboard & Indicator Lights Helps tame bright in-car elements such as instrument panels, warning lights, console strips and infotainment edges. Set Practicals Use on compact practical sources built into scenery, furniture, props and decorative set elements that cannot be dimmed easily. Light Boxes & Prop Illumination Useful for light boxes, illuminated props, logo reveals and other flat practical surfaces that need quick output control. Common Film & TV Examples Night Driving Scenes Control headlight output so the vehicle feels believable on camera without blowing out the frame or causing distracting flare. Police, Ambulance & Service Vehicle Shoots Manage practical emergency lighting for a more balanced image while keeping the visual language of the vehicle intact. Car Interior Coverage Reduce dashboard and console brightness so faces, costume and interior detail are not compromised by overly hot practicals. Retail or Branded Backgrounds Take the edge off illuminated signs and logo boxes that otherwise dominate the shot or clip on camera. Practical Set Dressing Useful for glowing props, scenic light panels, faux appliances and decorative set elements that need reversible control. Multi-Source Matching Apply consistently across similar sources so brightness feels more even across a vehicle, a set or a practical-heavy scene.

Apply RoscoGrip Place the material directly onto the light source or practical surface you want to control. Trim To Size Cut the material neatly to suit the shape and coverage needed for the source. Reposition If Needed The medium-tack adhesive allows adjustment during setup for a cleaner final placement. Why It Saves Time On Set No constant cutting of tiny pieces from larger ND sheets for each small source. Faster workflow when handling multiple practicals across a vehicle, a set or a location. Cleaner and more consistent finish across repeated light sources. Simple enough for quick resets, art department changes and last-minute camera adjustments. Especially useful where the source is flat but awkward to manage with conventional sheet filtration. Best Practice Notes Test first on the exact surface before full application. Confirm the surface is appropriate and will not be negatively affected by adhesive contact. Apply in the stated temperature range for best handling. For mission-critical shoots, test ahead of production rather than first trying it on set. Use consistent trimming and placement when matching several practicals across the same scene. What RoscoGrip Helps You Avoid Messy Hand-Cut Pieces Less time trimming tiny improvised ND shapes from bigger sheets for every small practical. Inconsistent Results More consistent application across multiple sources when compared with ad hoc hand-cut setups. Slow Resets A quicker option when the lighting adjustment needs to happen fast during prep or between takes. Over-Bright Practicals Reduces practical glare that can otherwise distract, clip or pull focus in camera.
