Mobile DJ? An idea for two T bars.

0:00 Of course if you buy light trussing rigs they cost an absolute fortune

Alright folks, here's an idea for you if you're mobile disco or if you want to sort of organise your own dance night etc. You know, you've got your DJ set up, your decks all ready working but you need some lighting rig behind you. Now then, of course if you buy light trussing rigs they cost an absolute fortune. Alright now then, just think about this first few pictures that you might be scratching your head at to begin with but it'll be as clear as mud very shortly. Alright, a couple of T-bars alright. Ideally the same sort of height. Now eventually you will want the T-bars overhead height. I shall explain in a minute, hold on. Now then, the legs of the T-bars. T-bar, you find quite often, 99% of the time, three legs. Make sure the legs are facing each other and there's your pole. Alright, now just bear all these pictures in mind because you'll see exactly where I'm coming from when I put this into practice very shortly. Now then, T-bar.

1:24 How much weight you put on it, okay?

Quite often you'll have a couple of holes in the T-bar, this is where you can attach lights. Normally you've got a G-clamp and you can fit sort of a bar through there, attach that to a G-clamp and there are your lights. Try and make sure though, if you can, in your aluminium pole to have a hole that's exactly at the same position as the hole in the T-bar so you can attach a bar through there making sure it's totally and utterly secure, okay? That's very important. Alright now lastly and most importantly, watch... How much weight you put on it, okay? Be careful. Don't put too much weight on this. Alright, now then. Again, this is live so, you know, this is great expense not. Right, here we go. Now then, there's a T-bar. Alright? Now then, as you can see here, there's the aluminium pole. Now I've fitted the aluminium pole through one side of the T-bar. If we have a look, there's the T-bar. There's the leg. It goes down.

2:24 There's probably about 12 foot there, but use your head

It follows the line of the floor past Ella's dancing mat to the other one, up and across, and there's the other T-bar. There's the pole. Now then, can you see the whole idea there? I haven't got them attached through there, but normally you would have a bar through there at the top to secure it perfectly. Now there's the general idea. Now think about that logically. It's saved you an absolute fortune. Now if I move the camera back, now admittedly... That is quite a distance. There's probably about 12 foot there, but use your head. If you're going to have something of that distance, don't start putting tons and tons in the middle because all that will happen, it'll bend and all fall down. A couple of mirror balls, a couple of pin spots, a couple of twisters on that is perfect. But think about it. If you have got your DJ set up right in the middle there, okay, I hope I've been a help once again. Practice and enjoy. Take it easy.
