Any totem ideas for fixtures with two brackets instead of one? Like the Chauvet QSpot 260. I like this style totem but, I'm a little stumped on a good solution.

Kill that background tapitty tap noise.
Don't you want us to hear what you say instead?

Brian, I meant to ask you at YTDJL today but when I thought about it you were wrapped up on the phone. Where can I find Scrim-Kings stuff? Their website doesn't have a way of ordering direct.

Do it from Scratch... Priceless...
Shout out to you and Mikey Mike...

While that bolt may thead itself into the cap, after a while the metal will wear down. You need a locking nut on the other end otherwise there's no stability. We do plenty of big rigs and I've done pro installs... there is NOTHING safe about this.

Have you ever thought about using 2 scrim kings per tripod?
Covering up the 2 sides, then instead of the flat side facing the dancefloor, you angle the tripod and have it facing on a angle.
You would be hiding 2/3s of the tripod instead of 1/3, and providing a more dramatic uplighting experience.
maybe something to try for a new vid :)

Love all the videos. Many ways to use my tripods! Thanks man!!!
Without a nut on the other side, this is extremely unsafe.

Excellent video again Brian! This is a great idea, I think one is the most common application and easiest to achieve. I think I will use this idea and the dura truss stand idea in my cases. The crank stands for times when you want it nice and high or really really sturdy, and this option for smaller venues or just a quick way to mount it.

yeah, I'm with you on that. As long as you have an extra set of speaker stands, #4 works for everyday apps. Then the Dura Truss is excellent for thoes BIG gigs where you need to lauch a big moving head WAY up there.
However, if you have a smaller moving head or moonflower/laser, etc and no extra speaker stands, the LTS-6 is a good deal $ wise.
