Answers:
"In the U!.S!. and Canada, grips are lighting and rigging technicians in the film and video industries!. They make up their own department on a film set and are led by a key grip!. Grips have two main functions!. The first is to work closely with the camera department, especially if the camera is mounted to a dolly, crane or other unusual position!. Some grips may specialize in operating camera dollies or camera cranes!. The second is to work closely with the electrical department to put in the lighting set-ups necessary for a shot!.

The term 'grip' dates back to the early era of the circus!. From there it was used in vaudeville and then in today's film sound stages and sets!. Some have suggested the name comes from the 1930s-40s slang term for a tool bag or "grip" that these technicians use to carry their tools to work!. Another popular theory states that in the days of hand-cranked cameras, it would be necessary for a few burly men to hang on to the tripod legs to stop excessive movement of the camera!. These men became known as the 'good grips'- as they were constantly being instructed to 'keep a good grip on the tripod'!.
