Barry Cheong Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Has anyone had any experience using this DIY corners kit from Avenger? http://www.bogenimaging.us/product/templat...amp;itemid=1503 I'm looking for a 12x12 frame solution that can be as portable as can be.

Rik Andino Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 They're pretty cool... Except you have to make sure they're really tight Sometime the knuckles can undo themselves They get banged or whater and you're frame can fall apart. & I don't know about their portabilty... You're still gonna need to carry around speed rail about 12' in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cheong Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks Rik for the response. I'll probably only need 6' pipe no? There's a middle joiner to join 2 pieces of pipe together to form one side - unless I'm missing something. That's what got me - if it were just corners I would be having to carry 12' speedpipe.

Speedrail keeps things extremely versatile. For example, you can make a nice little boom to arm out in a quickie. But if you'd like a nice frame-only kit, look up square tube frames with Matthews hollywood corners and quick reversing ears. Square tubing, I recommend, is the best quality for 6'/8'/12' frames for a rigid frame.

What size tubing? Does it break down into 6 foot (or smaller) lengths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
