Do you guys think it's tacky to stick 2 moving heads ona 48" T-bar style light Tree for a small venue wedding?

I was planning on putting 2 moving heads on the bottom ends of the tbar and a chauvet colorband tri light bar for wash on the top.

Depends on the type of movers you use. If they are some small LED style movers then cool, if they are more traditional 250's I don't think that would be wise. Either way I would be a tad leary of the T-bar moving due to the movement of the fixtures. Good luck, post a pic if you give it a try!
 
I know Johnny Dee just did this for an event this weekend - posted a pic over on another forum.

Just have to keep it balanced & have a STURDY cross beam, T-piece & crank stand, I'd suppose.
 
The movers are small, but heavy. I think they are 28 lbs each (pure reliability Pilot 150s) I did try it out and put it on my Hercules light stand. I cranked it all the way up and had some movement on the pole that made me uncomfortable so I lowered it down a bit and it seemed more stable. I like the way it looks, but I know some people have opinions on putting moving heads so close to each other. I will take pictures when I get my Chauvet colorband tri to complete my T-bar.
