i have just discovered that for £25 i can get truss mounts to go on my giraffe light stands which will allow me to mount 1500mm truss- anyone know if there is anything i should look out for and where i can get a decent deal on 2x1.5m pieces?
thanks

this stuff is great: http://www.thomann.de/gb/stairville_traverse_96103_f23_15m.htm

i have 2x 1500mm pieces & 2x 1000 mm pieces, it is proper truss even though it's listed in the deco-truss section. it's 220mm from pole to pole, full sized truss is 290mm so it's a little smaller but the load rating is only 15% less so more than good enough for my purpose. (4 mtr section with around 80kg's on it)

Smaller, cheaper and almost as strong! :approve:

Here is a 3mtr section in use:

I thought the OP was about proper Global/Tri-lite truss, my mistake. :)
