Looking for a short t-bar fitting
I'm currently using an equinox trussbooth (which I still love to bits) with a pair of 35mm outer diameter round aluminium tubes as uprights, securing them to the booth with globaltruss swivel couplers. This works well in most scenarios but I'm after being able to sling a short t-bar atop each upright pole. I can find t bars no problem but I'm really just looking for the t clamp piece, preferably in a natural metal colour or white.
Can anyone help?

I'm a little confused here. If I understand correctly, two of these and one or two of these cut to length would do the job.
Or did I get it wrong?

I think our learn'd friend is looking for this type of thing, with a 35mm diameter
Might be a job for Mr Sykes

Aye. Similar. Very similar. I think it's looking like I need to use square section tubing for the t-bars though.

Hmmm. I dunno why I couldn't find it before but it looks like a pair of Gravity LS TB 01 will do the job just fine when they're all bared of paint. For around the same price as a couple of ultimax top castings too.

If it's just for mounting a couple of lights on (depending on the fixture and flexibility of mounting), would this work?

Not really. See I'm looking towards hanging a couple of movers upside down, one either side of each pole. Just my diddy ones for now but keeping an eye towards the future. The diddy ones don't seem to mind being mounted clamped to a vertical pole but their brackets do
This way I can have some of the benefits an overhead bar offers only without the whole overhead bar bit.
Oh that & the colour thing. They either need to be a natural metal colour (or white) or be made of a material I can strip paint off without needing to worry about rust or whatever.

just use a 35mm top brackets as already been show/discussed and bolt a half coupler to it to clamp the tbar.
like this?

I'd considered that but had doubts about how stable/solid it'll be. A traditional t-bar clamp piece spreads the horizontal load over a wider area than that. Food for thought though cheers.
