lighting stand recomendations

[DJWayne]

ok looking around for a new lighting stand and need some ideas.

I have a 3m goalpost now but want to change it for something different.

would prefer something with a 50mm bar for my clamps to hang straight on and possibly winched as my entire lighting setup is quite heavy.

Have looked at the obvious stuff from prolight and ultimax etc but was looking for something a little different any ideas??

I use tri truss from giraffe its very nice and sturdy but it uses 25mm rather than 50mm bar. Still rated up to 100kilos per section though.
I find it very nice and being smaller than standard tri truss it is very easy to put up and transport.

Trussing arch - that's the daddy these days!

Huge mirror ball in the middle and some LED PAR64's

Job's a goodun!

However, winching is certainly much easier!
