mecánico asistente


Explanation:
En este sitio: http://www.trabajo.org/htm/hollywood1.htm se mencionan diferentes profesiones en el área cinematográfica. Para "grip" específicamente no se ofrece un término concreto, sólo que es un "mecánico que monta la cámara encima de un carro ("dolly grip") o encima de una grúa ("crane grip"); también tiende rieles y coloca cables". Supongo que para traducirla sin dar mucha explicación se podría decir "mecánico asistente".

grip (igual)


Explanation:
Yo siempre lo vi/escuché como "grip". Según la definición que da en inglés Wikipedia, yo creo que podría traducirse como asistente eléctrico o mecánico, según el contexto (ver link). Pero "grip" es más neutro y amplio, si no hay un contexto claro. Hope it helps!!
