Truss transport

Global truss.... i lay them down in the back of an suv with the seats down... sadly anytime i do truss i have to take both my Enclave and my Dads Santa Fe... just not enough room for everything AND truss... i rarely use it....except at this one venue thats about a mile from my Dads... its easy enough to pop down there with 2 cars
As much as i love the look of truss..ive grown quite happy with my tripod configuration for my moving heads... they are on speaker stands with jerry rigged adapter

Are you always doing 2 movers or do you have 4? (if 4) Have you thought about a mini-T? I have 2 Ts that are about 2.5 feet wide, which hold 2 Chauvet 255 movers and a chauvet mini-colorstrip on each unit. I've perm-mounted the fixtures (a bit heavy) so it's literally just put the rig on a crank, connect the wires, then crank. It's all wireless DMX (donners) and super-quick/easy.
ive got 2...and they are the 355s which are about twice the size of the 255's ... i dont know if i would trust them on the T's i have... quite happy with them on stands...

I did the right-side-up platform when I first got my movers. It would scare the life out of me with 355s. Those dude are huge. The Ts that I have are square steel and bottom-mounting movers would be a much more stable platform. I guess if it's working for you though...................
Yeah...mine are locked in tight via their factory mounting bracket and bolted into a plate attachment for the stands... have had zero issues so far

I have 4 6ft's and 2 7fts and lay them down. Keep in mind I have a transit van so space isn't as much a concern. I use global truss
I should do a plug for these guys - https://csnl.com/products/csl-tripod-fixture-mount-system
I've been talking to Jim Baxter for help with a projector mount and he has been over the top helpful (with support for a projector - the mount is fine). These guys are one of the best in customer service. Full review on the projector coming shortly.
Would it help if you had something that would help you stack the truss on top of each other and keep them from slipping off?
honestly...if i had it to do over again...i would purchase this set up and never look back.... i love the look of truss... but as far as convenience...these with a scrim over them is ideal...and would fit so much easier
you could also lower them to different heights depending on the venue....every once and a while they put you on a stage or in a space with minimal headroom...

My next set will probably this set up also, but I need something for now that I could use both vertical or horizontal.
