Lurk6r Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Make sure you get a truss that can be assembled without tools. the one you listed looks like it.Maybe consider upgrading your smoke machine or getting a hazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceRaver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 If you can, get a truss made of steel. I got an alumunium one and it just isnt fit for purpose. The pic looks like a steel one as the cross braces look like their welded to the upper and lower poles. Be wary of attaching a strobe to the remote controlled power board. They suck a lot of juice and might blow it. Check the specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SourceRaver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Have a look at these as well...http://www.ausdjforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6896&hilit=+trusshttp://www.ausdjforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3013&hilit=+trussThis looks like the one I got (need a allen key to assembly...no biggy):http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Light-Truss-Stage-Tripod-Lighting-Stand-DJ-Rack-/390383821817?pt=AU_DJ_Gear_Lighting_Equipment&hash=item5ae4b063f9The one you posted looks very similar and says its made from steel:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stage-Light-Truss-Stage-Tripod-Lighting-Stand-DJ-Rack-/270908743237?pt=AU_DJ_Gear_Lighting_Equipment&hash=item3f136b5e45Avoid the ones that say light weight construction and have plastic 'collars' along the length of the two horizontal bars...these are crap and bend under the smallest load.

andythemusician Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 If you want to go for weddings, don't get the laser. You'd be better off with some LED wash fixtures, and couple of effects that don't require haze to be there to still have an effect (ie/ lasers).
