Moving Head floor stand

[twinington]

Hi All, 

Im looking for advice on a suitable stand for a moving light. Its for mostly corporate style events so no intense movement, but something presentable and safe. My current idea is using a tank trap, scaff pole and d rig arm to hang it from, then load up the base with weight. This would be safe, but not very pretty.

Truss totems on a big heavy baseplate - either with a plate on top with appropriate fixings for the moving head, or with a t piece on top - are fairly standard for this sort of thing. Add an uplighter in the truss for bonus colour fun.

Jon is spot on.

It's also possible to get truss sleeves in various colours of fabric if your corporate clients don't like the look of the raw truss.

H frames also work very well - ours are 1M tall, 0.75M wide and fix to a single 800mm steel base. You just add further frames above to get to the desired height, and gives plenty of rigging options.

If its a regular job how about wooden blocks. Painted black they look smart
