Hiya,
I've just got a quick question, I went to a play tonight and about ten of the lights (Selecon Fresnel things..) and whilst they were all safety chained, they were rigged inverted, as in the light above the bar. I checked and they were just using normal G clamps.
My understanding was that G clamps could only be used for lights hung directly under the bar, that 'trigger clamps (something like this http://versales.com/ns/theatrical/che_clamp/images/t58215.jpg) could be used for everything other than completely inverted and for a completely inverted light, you needed something more like http://www.hedcom.fi/files/hedcom/Doughty/dou_clamp_04.jpg that.
Is that right, or are you ok with just a normal G-clamp for inverted lights?
Thanks in advance for your help.
