Need to get some new clamps for the new rig - decided hook clamps are a no go.

Sooooooooo, have a few thoughts. Any preferences.

No1 - look nice and cheap, but anyone got any idea how they work?

No2, I was originally considering, but didn't these get re-called or something?

and actually, how do these attach to a lighting pole?

Otherwise, what else is on the market?

Didnt Darren have problems with those quick release type plastic clamps?

Think I would stick with metal, you dont want a projector effect bouncing on your head:eek:

Trialing something at the moment that may well be an answer to how we attach our lighting to our trussing/t bars. I will let you know how I get on in the near future.

Option 1 looks plastic too, I'd go for the ones you posted in the other thread for use with your new truss if I were you.

Thanks for that - they do actually look very similar to the ones I posted in another thread. Might get a few and see what happens!
