Thanks for all your help everyone. Still looking at some things. Steve, your setup looks pretty fool proof. I just hoped on our EOS the other day to try and make some things work. Right now, I'm having problems "choosing" as if I were on a hog. The EOS doesn't really have the best read out...

Anywhere from Par Cans to Color Kinetics CBs to VL3500s. Not really sure yet at this point.

Hey All- -I know this forum isn't really geared towards this discussion, but I was hoping someone might have some thoughts. Just got a call about doing a small rock gig that will need to be run festival style. No idea about the kind of music yet or the nature of the gig, but I'm...

Hey all -- looking for a good VW 2008 manual as the 2009 manual isn't out yet . There are still some things I'm grappling with and I think I've got the time on break now to wrestle this **** thing to the ground once and for all. Let me know!

Renegade: Jeremy here -- a freshman in the Design/PTM tract at CMU. The "pre-college" option has been given rave reviews by my classmates -- I think there are 5 kids in the current freshman class who were pre-college students so there is definately an advantage when it comes to admissions...

To the question of where the fixtures came from, they were not rented from PRG, instead came from Main Light, which as far as I know, only has its office Wilmington. Which means someone went out of their way to get this many fixtures. Its all about eye candy my friends -- day time show in the...

Speaking of mismatched power -- I just tossed some VL1000s up in a rig today and realized they didn't care whether they were getting 208, 240, or 115. Thank GOD for autoranging power supplies. I already had some 208v drops hanging around from the last Atomics that were in the space. Made life...

AGREED -- use the McMaster part -- totally worthwhile. I can't tell you how many times I've been pissed off at having to use two wrenches and then ending up with the fixture in my lap on the floor looking like an idiot. Also, that part uses the same standard bolt on a Tee or C-Clamp so its all...

Derek -- I like the thought, however it would mean that truss won't slide easily into a truck -- ie truss stacking would sort of be a big pain in the butt. Until they can come up with a flush-mount system, I'd opt for no. I agree with Steve, Megaclaws will do for me -- that and some good...

Don't forget about the omnipresent ACL racks on the US stick -- I see that quite often -- 120k w/ about 8 S4s on the DS and 4-6 ACL racks on the US, making it really closer to 130K or maybe we should call it 120k+

Company is Neo-Neon as far as I can tell -- another American DJ like company with production coming from China. Sounds promising, but don't they all. Bill, have you seen one of these in action? Can it compete?

I don't quite follow you -- my double legged arresting lanyard will arrest a body of approx 160lbs in 4'. That sounds plenty safe to me... considering they aren't necessary/required until a height of 10'. Like I said -- self retracting arresters on vertical positions (booms, ladders...

THANK YOU -- I can't imagine how much of a pain that would be. I've got enough trouble going up with a twin-tail rebar lanyard, a positioning line/hook, and whatever tools/gear I might be hauling up there.

Gaff, I appreciate your concern for both mine, and everyone else's safety on the board. I think the regardless of the differing opinions about what should and should not be discussed on the board, that those of us who air on the side of caution should be commended. I originally started...

Agreed agreed. Regardless of whether the front chest D-ring is now being spec'd as an attachment point for less than a 2' fall, I still wouldn't use it. On a ladder or vertical travel or positing point, I would hate to have my fall arrester in front of me. Seems like it would be continually...
