Help! Truss suggestions...

Former Member

Hey ya'll...
I need your help again.
Here's the deal:
I have a lts-50t truss that doesn't have the cranks...I'd love to have them,but I don't have the dough this season.
What is the best way to get my lights up to the highest point without killing my back...
Do you put the truss up first and raise it,and then get a table to stand on to put the lights on? Or do you put the lights on the truss and struggle to get the truss up as high as you can with all that weight on it...
Also,it seems that I mount my controller pack in a different spot alot on the truss. Its a co-pilot.
Any suggestions to these inquiries will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff

BTW...
Would the Crank-2 work for my truss,if I wanted to only replace the tripods with these?
I could more feasibly be able to afford these sooner than an entire new truss system,and have the old tripods for backup or even adding a new section for parcans on the side or something...Maybe attach the fogger and mirrorball to it?

Basically...Do you know if these crank stands would work for my truss?
Thanks,
Jeff

They should work with your truss. If not, then you just need to get the plastic things that attach the truss to the stands.

p.s. when I was looking at getting two Cranks-2's, It ended up costing $5.00 less to get the whole systeme. So it was like getting the trussing free and $5.00 off at the same time.

So what are your other tips to putting tips...As far as putting the lights on first or after raising the truss. I'm sure with the cranks,its not a big deal,but I don't have them at this time.

Thanks,
Jeff

I normally put the lights on the truss AFTER I raise it. I usually stand on a table or use a ladder. It is very hard to put the lights on first and then raise it. But, I guess the crank system would make that easier.
