CHAPTER Stands and rigging 4 Lighting technicians find themselves having to hang lights in all kinds of places, so naturally, over the years, ways have been devised to secure a light almost anywhere. People are constantly inventing and reinventing these devices. The basics are described in this chapter; check manufacturers' Web sites for the most up-to-date information (ARRI, Matthews, Norms, American, Modern Studio Equipment, Versales, The Light Source, City Theatrical and many others; see also Appendix F). Lights are typically mounted in one of three ways. The smaller movie lights (baby 2k and smaller) have a -in receiver that can be mounted on a -in "baby" pin. Larger movie lights have l-in. pin which fits into a 1-in "junior" receiver on the stand or rigging hardware. Concert and theater venue lights may be delivered with a pipe clamp bolted to the yoke. This can be removed and replaced with a baby receiver for stand-mounting if necessary. Accordingly stands and rigging hardware are identified as either "baby" or "junior".
