Scrim-King How to hide a nasty looking T-BAR as used by a Mobile DJ.

0:01 In this one we're looking at these guys from ScrimKing.com

Alright guys, Jonathan here. One of my reviews for you. Now in this one we're looking at these guys from ScrimKing.com. As ever I'll put a lickable clink in the description. Right, first of all the technical stuff and let's have a look. This product complies, I mean this means absolutely nothing to me whatsoever, with NFPA... 7-0-1 dot dot 2004. So there you go. So in other words, you can put that on your auntie's knicker elastic and everything will be absolutely fine. Right, well, what is it? There you go. Well, there's white ones and there's black ones. And if I just move the camera from that position up to there, you'll notice it's a T-bar. And of course, if you don't know what a T-bar is...

I don't know if you can see but logically you would hang your lighting from there, like so. But, what's the whole idea? Well if we take a look down here, what they've basically done is they've eliminated the nasty area down there where in my mind sometimes it doesn't look that good simply because if you're anything like me you've always got gaffer tape and goodness knows what all over the place. For example, there you go. That doesn't look too good. And that looks slightly better. Now, I've been thinking about this for a while. From a safety point of view as well, that looks a lot more as opposed to, let's say, a couple of legs sticking out. Now, there's nothing worse than everything being pitch black and someone accidentally tripping over your stands. But, put it this way, if you are a professional mobile DJ,

Theoretically, you should have your stands for your T-bars or your lighting away from the public anyway. So you shouldn't be in that position in the first place. Right, let me just show you how this particular piece is set up. Right, if we take a look at one of the base feet and again, tripod three feet. So, that just fits under there like that. Very simple. And then if we have a look at the top, all I've done is I fitted it around there. That's it. Alright, now that's pretty cool. But, at the end of the day, we are dealing with Jonathan and occasionally I have some wacky ideas. Now, first of all, when you get your new item, you need to use it as it is. The last thing you want to start doing is getting a brand new light.

Pulling it apart and making it into an aeroplane, because two things will happen. One, probably won't fly, and the other one, you'll lose your guarantee or your warranty. But, with items like this, apart from maybe, I don't know, trying to make it into some form of clothing, you can do other things as well. Let me show you. Check this out. This is really cool. There you go. How about that then? Now, I like this. I really, really do like this. Two reasons. Now first of all, I'm just going to bring the camera back slightly and let's get our light again. A damn thing. Ah, there. Got a memory like a spatula. Siv. Cullinder. Cullinder. Right. No, Siv. There you go. So your light's still cammed on your T-bar like that. But this is the fun bit, you see? Now, every time you've got a light on there...

4:37 Venue and I let the venue

Depending of course on, let's say for example if you've got a multi-socket, you've got cables all over the place. So of course something like that eliminates the public seeing all the cables. So in essence, you've still got a T-bar, you can still put lights on it, maybe not have the lights dangling down but you can have the lights on the top. But guess what? You've got no nasty cables. Now I'm going to try this the next gig I do, or one of them. I don't have something like that either side of the console. Now again, very quickly as well, being a mobile DJ, I always try and set up the gear in different ways. I don't do a stereotypical system in the middle and a speaker either side and light there, light there, and then you do that for 10 shows. I try and experiment. In other words, what I do, I go to the venue and I let the venue...

Tell me how the setup should be as opposed to me go to the venue and say, I'm going to set it up like this. If you do that, theoretically what might happen is you might start tripping over things and whatnot. So you have to bear in mind the venue will tell you how your gear needs to be set up. But you always need to take into consideration the public because everything has to be out of the way from a safety point of view. So, that guy there, think about it now. No cables. You can't see the cables at all. Alright, so how have I set that up? Let's have a look. Alright, I mean it's so simple it's ridiculous. There you go. That is just fitted on to there like that. And the middle bit is basically fitted to that. That's it. There you go. Now to me, that is making use of something and taking it to the next level.

As ever, I'll put a lickable clink in the description that will take you to the website. Alright? Nice one. Practice and enjoy. Right, I thought I'd better add this piece. Now, with the cloth that's attached here, what you'll notice is I've got one of these plastic tie wraps around this leg here, but of course if I just had that one, this would just slide up. So, all I've done, I've got another one, and I've got black and white so you can see the difference. So if I pull up now, that is securely in the centre position.
