Woohoo Im Getting a New Truss

I used to use a set of home made lighting stands that weighed a ton. Eventually I wised up and bought a set of tripods, what a blessing. My LTS-2's are a great set of stands.

I just ordered the crank one system from PSSL. I am really looking forward to using the product.


Thats great man. Congradulations.
Getting new stuff rocks. Especially when it makes life easier.

I love my LTS50T system....however im getting and using more "higher end" fx now so i think i may decide to sell my LTS and use the money to buy a crank system. Hmmm....im not sure yet though. Overall ive been very happy with my LTS-50T system.

well im getting excited it will arive here tomorrow ill let you guys know how i like it

well i got it this morning and i love it its 100% better than my old home made one

Now that amdj is getting more heavy moving heads and scanners in their catalog shouldn't they make a crank up truss that has a 400 to 600lb weight capacity?

we do!! it's called Global truss

also one of my freinds and i were thinking

if you take the truss-2 system and buy an extra peice of trus and a stande and put it in the middle you could increase the weight capacity and the amount of lights you could put on

is this an accurate assecment?

i'm still waiting to get mine (we got a HUGE snow storm almost 120 cm got dropped)

wow havn't been on the forums in a while, beein doing musicals, plays, and whatnot for school so I'll make this my first post. If I understand you right you would then have 3 sections of truss interconnected and then tripods on the ends and one smack dab in the middle. In theory you would be shortening the span of the truss before support by 25%, which should also, in theory, allow for more weight, however you have to consider now you have weight on both sides of one tripod, so this may limit you to some degree (unless you bought a tougher tripod specifcally for the middle). My $.02 says dont waste the money enhancing a lightweight stand, but rather go with triangle truss and stronger grip tripods.
