I appreciate the ideas, and I am not tuning you out....
but the family could really use that $250 right now....
you know, so we can EAT and stuff.

That looks like it's supposed to clamp to the truss facade they make. DO you have a table that will hold the weight of the unit and lights?Ross,
this is the one I saw.
If I can't come up with a solution I am happy with...
I may spend the $160 and be done with it.

Yeah, when it comes to my DJ business....I have a problem.
I get an idea in my head....and my brain won't let it go until I either figure out a way to make it work...or explore every option and decide it's not gonna work out.
Hmmmm.....who does that sound like???
I think the title still belongs to Ricky ...Mike, this thread warms my heart. I almost think you're more of a cheapskate than I am.
You will also have to keep in mind the 'forward weight' on a truss or crossbar.Could use a pair of Gravity or K&M light stands with the heavy base and clamp some sort of bar/simple truss across it. They are limited to about 50 pound each side or 100 total ...

uhhhhh....everybody here?
The vertical poles have a M10 socket on top so you could put 2 o-clamps up and lock a pole across (do they make 8' "poles" ?) .. then it's basic weight management.You will also have to keep in mind the 'forward weight' on a truss or crossbar.
Mike, this thread warms my heart. I almost think you're more of a cheapskate than I am.
I got a 'goal post' sorta setup, More setup time, pita to do it alone, much more time consuming - some of that is the number of lights of course. it's also 2 stands plus the cross bars (2 need put together)..more to carry, load, etc.
Why not save the money, and keep the stand at home? Put a couple of lights your speaker stands, and be done with it?
When a customer wants more lighting charge them for the T bar stand. ...I think you will find that this new light stand set up endeavor you are going on is going to add set up and tear down time for your set up, and it will be more weight/piecies you are loading in/out. ...And all of this for a next value of ZERO more dollars than you currently get.
The newer Gravity LS431 base has additional M20 receptacles, so you can mount the vertical pole in the center, in the center of the back edge or in the corner, so with it at the center back spot, it can handle weight that is "forward" a bit better. Also allows you to get a speaker close to the corner or back wall if you're really tight for space.
