Premium Member Joseph Tese Posted June 28, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 28, 2020 See the two eye bolts in pic below? I want to rig a 1k tungsten between them. I was thinking of putting a piece of steel pipe/tube (small diamoeter that would fit) inside, then just cardellini to the fixtures the only thing is the tube would most likely swing or rotate inside the bolts, relying the positioning of the fixture to “rest on the wall”. I would rather have a more secure and confident way to angle the light as needed. Do you have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Joseph Tese Posted June 28, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 28, 2020 What if I had a cartellini like this, or something similar where the threaded rod was open/at the endhttps://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1482663-REG/cardellini_2r_right_angle_clamp.html/?ap=y&gclid=CjwKCAjw_-D3BRBIEiwAjVMy7IFtXp5QBix9UsLz4JUh04SszhICCX7VkgTuQxIBeNw7IF8cbUlS9BoCfOUQAvD_BwE&lsft=BI%3A514&smp=y then, place the rod end through one of the eye bolts, and I can put two washers on either side of the eyebolt and secure them with a locknut. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) The eyebolts are not in the same plane. Doubtful that you could slide a rod or pipe trough any two and not hit the brick of the column. Could you span the width of the "industrial" gallery with speedrail wall spreaders? Or Remove the plate(s) with eyebolt and bolt a junior wall plate in its place. Two Big Bens and a section of speedrail would give you a flexible setup.

Premium Member Joseph Tese Posted June 30, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks for the reply JD. space is pretty big. Maybe I could attempt to speed rail between the brick columns, but there’s not a lot of surface there. What if i “speed C” on one of the brick columns?

JD Hartman Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 If it were my space...I wouldn't allow a clamp on my 100 year old brick. Removing the black plates and using the existing anchors in the brick for the grip hardware would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Conley Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 hang a length of 2x6 from the existing eye bolts. screw in some eye bolts to the 2x6 and then just secure to existing eye bolts. As JD mentioned the two eye bolts are on different planes but just build up the 2x6 on the left side to match the right plane. You can add a 2nd safety cable through the wall eye bolt and around the 2x6 for added security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Every setup is a reflection of yourself. If you have to buy "Hardware" or grip equipment to make the shot, it's not as if you will never use the items again. A rig that's not sturdy, maybe needs frequent readjustmet or looks unsafe, isn't going to save time or get you more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Joseph Tese Posted July 11, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted July 11, 2020 Ended up making a slit into some plywood. Was originally going to throw a bolt through it, but chain vide grip was more secure. Worked great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
