paulears Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Are you looking for a good one, or a cheap one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 www.thomann.de have some cheap wind-up lighting stands for about £50-£60 each, with a loading limit of 50kg, so 100kg would be fine between two. HTH Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Not necessarily. The 50kg weighting is for downwards loads only and takes no account of the sideways load caused when mounting truss on a stand.Some stands specifically state that they are not to be used for supporting truss or bars that span between two stands.

LampieManPro Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 have a look at the ultimax range of truss systems. Buying truss and stands it something I would never do on a low budget affair. a car is only as safe as the wheels its riding on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 There are lots of makes of stand! Manfrotto (sometimes badged Arri ) is one I like. (manfrotto.com) their wind up ( http://www.manfrotto.com/Jahia/site/manfro...f=2&child=9 ) and wincher ( http://www.manfrotto.com/Jahia/site/manfro...=2&child=13 ) stand ranges should cover your needs. Teamwork (41/42 Foley Street, London, W1W 7JN. Tel: 020 7323 6455) is my preferred supplier for Manfrotto. Look at many, Look also in the mobiledjforums.com Many there are wise. Beware the £50 for 50kg stands some inspire more trust than others and some last batter than others. for a freestanding stand 30k is a good load for an economy stand before the prices start to rocket. Whan calculating the loading please add the weight of the crossbar truss and the cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
