Re: New Lighting Blog Series: Types of Units
I'm glad you enjoy it, but I derive virtually no pleasure in attempting to show you (or anyone else) the error of your ways. What's that saying, "...it frustrates you and annoys the pig?"I love arguing with Derek.
Here's hoping you don't have more than one unit on a vertical boom.Yes you have to use the yoke bolt equivalent on a sliding Tee. BUT, you are using that product the way it was designed to be used. ...and I don't believe in rotating the sidearm I believe in rotating the entire vertical pipe.
Many of my arena riggers, some of the best in the country, wouldn't know a G-clamp from a yolk. If hanging lights were rigging, it would cost twice as much and take three times as long. Somewhere on here we've discussed the difference between overhead lifting and overhead suspension....So am I right or wrong to consider safe C-clamp, yoke usage and safety cabling a fixture to be part of rigging? If I'm wrong why? Is it okay to use any product designed for overhead lifting in a way it was not designed to be used?
ETC part# 400CC. MSRP: $13.00. National online vendor sales prices: $10.50, 10.92, 11.00, 11.00, 11.14, 11.31, 12.95, 13.00, 13.00, 18.99, 19.76....About $18 is the standard price for an ETC clamp online. Which is one of the higher priced C-clamps. ...
