Manfrotto 126CSU

[Macheath]

First of all, hello to everyone! (And sorry for my bad english).

I am very happy to have found this forum ... is very interesting!

 

I already have a question for you. http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Does anyone know this Manfrotto 126 stand?

It obviously is not a Manfrotto Wind Up 087, but I wonder if - used for small installations on stage - it can support more than one luminaire. Maybe mounted on a small t-bar.

(It is thin... the diameter of the tube in the three sections is 40/35/30mm... but they claim a load capacity of 40kg!)

 

What do you think?

Hi there and welcome!

 

I'm sure I have used these (or similar) with a short T-bar and a couple of Par 56's on them without difficulty.

All I'd say is make sure the legs are well spread and that the centre of gravity is over a leg rather than the gap between them.

 

Good luck!
