Mounting Acrobats...

[Kirby Ball]

For those of you who already use these or have used them in the past. How high off the ground do you mount your Acrobats for the best coverage?

Thanks,

Kirby

Previously I was mounting it around 7-8 feet single on top of my tripod to the up bar.
Now I mount it below the 4bar Tbut am using my regular Ultimate stand as my c clamp fits the circumference of that stand versus the one provided by Chauvet. If not using the Bat I use the Chauvet stand. I am now actually only getting the bat around 6 ft up and no issues just having to tilt it flush versus a bit down at higher positions.

At the first show, I mounted it on my vertical trussing --- roughly about 6 1/2 to 7 feet.

Ask Jean Pierre at Cirque du Soliel...He's know how to mount an Acrobat....

LOL, good one Steve!

When I was just trying them out, I had them mounted vertically less than 5' off the ground and was amazed how well they covered the living room, the hallway and of course the cats...

What would look good Kirby....if you've got a fly point of the the top of your mains, rig up a way to fasten a 3 foot section of light pole... and hang it over the mains.....

Typically, as high as possible, which is usually around 8 feet off the ground.
