Hi Richiecockburn

It actually works quite well (minimal back strain). If you have an easier way of doing this, I welcome a video responce to this one demonstrating a more practical alternative. In the mean time, I offer you the same advice I gave gidjdisco: Next time you leave a comment, you may want to try to be a bit nicer. Who knows, maybe someone may actually subscribe to your site if you are a bit more constructive with your comments.

Excellent idea, will try this with the wife ('big Ann from Wigan') later tonight.......she's doing a speech at a wedding - madam speaker! Did you get this idea from the Kama Sutra by any chance? Will let you know how I get on/in/under!!!

Cheers Brian, from me and my bad back!!

Hi Chazland

HA! No problem! I hope it worked well for you. Some here are arguing that you may bend or snap a pole by using this process. I've been doing it this way for about a year now a couple times a week with no trouble with my gear OR back :)

great way to bend the speaker pole

[djmarcelca]

Nice idea.

I usually just Place the Pole in the Top Speaker and lift it onto the Sub.

But That's just me

Kids and adults alike, don't do this... you will break the top hat in your sub as well as bend the pole... and damage your back all the same processes. Un trained, Un informed fool!

just like this :D (done at a few more gigs), poles start to bend... just like this, snap, drop speaker, drops sub, broken feet ect lol but other wise good idea :S

[Venom8419]

Those poles looklike they are bending big time plus the speaker is wobbling.lol.supposed to do that?

[nickslokker1]

Great idea!

[afonsosoundman]

Sorry mate, but you don't know what you're doing.

Thats not the way to do it, thats not the way you should bend your back and knees and if the pole snaps, you're gone.

Just be careful. Pro Audio is an Art.

Cheers.

@lanswipe Yes not very useful I think. Niet erg handig.

I do this with my Peavey UL15s on tripods now, thanks Brian for a simple but such a great tip!!

[djwizo5000]

Yeah I do that with my tripods.

[doyleaudio]

I can't believe how smart that was. LOL

30 years in this business and I'm still learning.

Excellent!!!

Thanks for "Sharing"

A little visit to the gym should fix this lifting problem and you wont have to fuck up your equipment.
