New Matthews Multipurpose Adapter For Moving Lights
Matthews Studio Equipment, known for the heftiest hardware, has a new solution to simplify mounting live production moving lights to standard grip equipment. The new Moving Light Stand Adapter 'Cotone Mount' is compatible with today's industry standard moving fixtures from Chauvet, Elation, Martin, Robe, and more; as well as all popular industry stands and lifts. With the new Adapter, set up is quicker, intuitive and secure.
This smart alternative mount converts a standard Omega Bracket to a 1-1/8" Jr Pin or 5/8" Baby Receiver, allowing it to be quickly mounted on standard grip equipment. The T-shaped Adapter is constructed of durable steel, permanently welded, and finished in black zinc. Its dual-slotted plate (3.67" min. – 11.50" max.) accepts a range of mounting hardware to suit the job and includes a nut, bolt, and washer for secure mounting. The knurled Baby Pin is hard welded to the apex of the "T" for ultra durability. A threaded insert for the T-Handle and Safety hole for a Cotter or Lynch Pin offer a secure hold.
Already being beta tested on productions, Gaffer Mondrian Hernandez calls the Moving Light Stand Adapter "an incredibly versatile mount! It allows for mounting different sizes of movers as the head mount screws can slide to accommodate various spacing profiles of different movers. It is the perfect companion for mounting movers on Air Climbers."
Set Lighting Technician Quinn attests: "By utilizing Matthew's Moving Light Stand Adapter, we were able to confidently rig heavy-duty moving heads with ease. This adapter, combined with the Air Climber, allowed us to elevate these fixtures up to 25 feet, providing a secure and reliable solution for our lighting needs."
Weighing about 4-lbs/1.8kgs, this essential hardware can support lights up to 250-lbs/113kgs. The Moving Light Stand Adapter, P/N 378000 includes all hardware and is available to order now.
The Moving Light Stand Adapter may be purchased in the United States and Canada exclusively through Blue Planet at: www.lightscapelcp.com/
