Default Re: Mixing brands and wattages - movers

From what I've read, moving mirrors are fine on t stands, but the moving heads are not.

Not just the horizontal/vertical debate, but the fact that they are rated for a solid load coming down. If a moving head is still, it will only throw the amount of force equivalent to its weight on the bar; but if it's moving quickly it can put a lot of extra pressure down that can go beyond the support the t stand is rated for.

Just what I've heard though, I'm not going to go do an experiment.
