at the moment i have a rhino twin bar deck stand and was thinking of just using the deck stand not the over head bars.
i have been thinking about getting one of these http://www.djanddiscostuff.com/prodpage.asp?prodid=1832
if i could get brackets or some thing to replace the t bars on the stand so i could fit my equinox micro par bar system as the part which fits onto the stand is thinner than an average stand.
could this work .
secondly i was thinking of getting two bits of board about same size as the bar between the two stands with some blocks of wood places then on to the wood i would bolt two g clamps.
i then could hook the board over the back of the bar between the stands and have the board wired so i can then just put up on stand then plug in wires to iec box.
would this work
hope you understand what i am on about because i don't lol
ps i am the man with crazy ideas

Not sure I follow entirely, but are you after something like this http://www.ultimax1.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=6&P_ID=394&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=159 to bolt the micro par bar to & the whole thing sit on top of the upright?

I reckon he is Steve. I got two of those for exactly the same purpose. My standard rig over the Ultimax is exactly what he is suggesting.

As to the plywood, well it'd a perfectly viable option. Best option? Probably not. Do I have a better one? Probably not. I reckon I'm going to have to admit defeat and prewire the bar I usually use.

Would the Ultimax trussing work better? :)

if he is, that is weird, cos i had the same idea today, and hide all the wires behind the ply over the horizontal bit of the goalpost, albeit the 1.5 metere bit.......:omg: :omg:

I use them to attach a single light to the top of an Ultimax upright for our smallest regular job. I'm sure I've seen pictres of Shaun doing something similar.

what i meant was a bit of pipe that fits over the top of the stands then becomes smaller at one one to fit the par bar .
as the fixing that is on the par bar cannot be removed

Can't help you then, although I think there is a product on the market that will do the job

A size adaptor so that the par bar fits onto the goalpost upright

(I'm trying for the most posts in one thread with the word upright in them award)

You could cut a small section off your Parbar stand, say about 150mm and then have it welded onto the top anywhere you want it. :)
