My facility has a large balcony that is built with canter leaver system. Great design with few columns and looks great in the room. However that means my catwalk system (6 cats) is connected to the balcony. Me alone standing in the balcony can jump and cause equipment to bounce. I have some VL3500s aimed at a wall behind the preacher with a slightly out of focus gobo shuttered to the area I want textured behind him. Usually the bounce from the cat/balcony is minimal but today it was constant and is annoying. I'm looking for a way to stabilize this, almost like a shock absorber. The RSC LightLock will not fix the bounce but I want to find a way to absorb the bounces through the rigging and that way the light will main still. It is mounted onto a pipe that is cheeseboroughed to the catwalk. It is a horizontal bar with a angle brace providing the extra support creating a scalene triangle.
Couple questions, 1 does anyone know of a device that would fix this? 2, if no device exists would this be something that is needed by others in the industry that could justify the time and money to engineer something?
