What do you think about this Truss System?

http://www.idjnow.com/StoreModules/ProductDetails.aspx/PID=SQMOBILESYS--BranchID=--DepartmentID=TRIPOD^TRUSS--SubDeptID=Truss%20Systems--CategoryID=--DeID=0

or, should I save some money and buy

This truss will be used for mostly school dances and hopefully with the addition of base plates be used vertically at smaller events. It will be holding 4 Martin SCX500's, 1 Martin EFX500, 8 LED Par Cans, and 2 AMDJ MegaStrobes.

Thanks for the input,
Chris
 
I agree with Steve, if you don't and have to upgrade later on you'll kick yourself.
 
sounds good. I hope to be adding 1-2 more sections to this in the future.

thanks for the input.....keep it comin

Be careful on how many sections you add. Those crankups will only hold so much weight. If you want to really prepare for the future (and you have a huge light show in mind), you might be better off getting more heavy duty stands.
 
CbarronX23....
Why not give one of our sponsors a crack @ the Biz? Northern Lights FX....Very knowledgeable Guy.........
 
I'm confused...

Why not ask Ben if he can help you with some gear before you spend the money. Global box is the best you can buy for the money.

You WILL not be disappointed with the box truss. If you go with the triangle truss, you will forever wish you had gone with the box later... trust me.
 
I would also recommend going with the box over the triangle truss. I use Global Truss Box and I love it! It is expensive, but it will last you forever.

I'm personally not a big fan of the crank set up. We just use the truss and the heavy duty bases. I think it looks much better and you have the ability to hang lights on the verticle pieces. Also, it gives you more options for set up as you light show grows.

Good luck with you decision, trussing makes your whole show look better!
 
Any last minute suggestions before I go ahead and order this truss?

Still just uncertain where I will order from. I need to check the sales tax/shipping from a few different dealers.

Thanks,
Chris

I promise You if you call Ben you will not be disappointed....i have dealt with him personally in the past, and I plan on doing so again in the future.....Do yourself a favor........This is right up his alley.. !!
 
Thanks Gray.

I am already dealing with Ben. He gave me an awesome price quote for the truss and 2 more Martin Scanners, we just need to make sure everything is in order with shipping (need these for a huge dance next friday) and then I will definately be ordering with him.

Smart Move......!!
 
Well, last night I ordered the truss and 2 more Martin Scanners from Ben @ NLFX. Couldn't be happier with the service.

I've got a big dance this Friday, and I am hoping to have all this by then. The scanners shouldn't be a problem, my only concern is the truss, because it is being drop shipped. ((fingers crossed))

If I get it all in time, I'll take some pics and if you're lucky maybe some video :sqwink:.

Steve, I shot an e-mail over to Mitch from Centerstage like you suggested for a price quote, I even mentioned your name, and I never got a response from him. Rather than pursue it further, I figured I should give Ben a try. Couldn't be happier with the price or the service.

Thanks anyway for the lead.
