An apple box is a versatile piece of equipment used in filmmaking and photography. It is a sturdy wooden or plastic box, often used for various purposes on set. Its most common uses include providing a stable platform for actors to stand on, adjusting the height of cameras or other equipment, or serving as a base for props and lights.
