Control Booth,
My theatre is about to undergo massive upgrades and repair. One of the things we are looking to buy is truss to use as for front of house postions for lighting (mostly Source 4's) and other things as the need arises. We are only able to buy about 40 ft right now and I want to make sure I can get the most bang for my buck.
Having worked with truss over the past few years I have some experience with putting it together and walking on it for repairs. That being said I am not a rigger nor a designer and would hate to buy something less useful due to ignorance.
I am currently looking at Tomcat 20.5" by 20.5" X10' Medium Truss. The 12 inch is too small I feel and the next step up too big.
I have no strong opinions on bolts vs spigoted (having used both I think one is faster but that matters little to me).
We will be supporting this truss with 1 ton motors spread out as the riggers see fit.
Does any one have any advice on what to get what not to get or what is good deal. I am looking at Tomcat and James Thompson company right now. If you have another company please suggest it.
Thanks
