I purchased one of these portable DJ trusses so I can put disco lights up. However I am a bit nervous of their strength. The T junction is nylon, and also there is nothing to stop the truss bridge from sliding out if you bumped one of the tripods apart. My idea is to use security cables to catch the truss if it pops out.
There are keyholes in the T junction that suggest I drill a hole in the pipe to put a bolt through but I am not confident in the connector's strength. It's plastic. Hopefully I can find a replacement T junction that is made of metal.
The instructions that came with this thing are non-instructions really.
What if some hero decides to do chin ups on the truss? Might be safer to just use the two tripods as separate light stands, and not use the 3m truss bridge at all.
