Digital Juice® announced today that it is expanding its DJ Gear line of products with the release of Apple Boxes. One of the most common pieces of equipment on a studio set, Apple Boxes are heavy-duty wooden boxes that are used for propping, mounting or leveling lights, furniture and gear as well as for seating or raising the height of talent and crew during production shoots.
Finely crafted with high-quality materials and a strong center support brace for dimensional stability, the Digital Juice Gear Apple Boxes are sturdy, modular and built to industry-standard specifications. “They can be stacked and combined to achieve any desired height and they are designed to be able to support a wide variety of gear and crew combinations, including a fully-loaded camera rig and operator,” says Viv Beason, President of Digital Juice. “We designed and manufactured each box using lightweight birch plywood and ergonomic handle grips so that they would be easy to carry around and include in your gear kit.”
The DJ Gear Apple Boxes are available in 4 sizes (Full, Half, Quarter & 1/8th – or Pancake height). The three larger boxes are made from attractive furniture-grade 5-ply TigerLite birch plywood giving them the advantage of a lighter weight with the same resilience and support as similar boxes weighing almost twice as much. The Pancake size uses a thicker 1″ Russian Birch for an equally attractive sturdy base. “The smooth attractive grain of the box surfaces is left unfinished, with just the subtle DJ Gear logo brand as ornament, so you can customize each box to your specific needs,” says Beason. Whether you need the boxes to blend into a green screen environment or for support on an outdoor shoot, you can choose the best way to paint, seal or finish each box – or you can use them as is, for years to come.
