Gatorbuddy was born out of trying to find a better way of handling large pieces of foam core and v-flats.

I envisioned a system that eliminated the traditional stand and clamp for a mobile system that is easy to set up and manipulate.

Gatorbuddy would not have been possible without the involvement of the following partners: Christian Miron who brought his technical expertise in construction and was instrumental in the creation of the initial wood prototypes before hiring an industrial design firm, Us et Coutumes who brought Gatorbuddy to what you see today. Chris Hindian added his business acumen, and Lori Von Sychowski whose knowledge in production, design, and marketing really brought it home.

We are very happy to be partnering with Matthews Studio Equipment to help take Gatorbuddy to the next level.

We’re excited to see what you will do with your Gatorbuddy. Happy shooting from the Gatorbuddy team.
