Bogen 2950 Autopole adjustable lighting pole

day-rate

 
If renting this,
also consider:

 


features:
o creates a beam between ceiling and floor or between walls
o supports lights and grip gear in tight corners or across ceilings
o extends from 83" (6'11") to 145" (12'1")
o cantilever single action locking system exerts pressure to
   securely wedge the rubber cup ends in place

straight-talk:
The Autopole can support 2 Mole Baby's (with additional super mafer clamps).  It can support many Lowel lights plus flags & nets.

BUT BE CAREFUL!  A longer horizontal span can SAG AND FALL!  Consider placing loads near the ends rather than toward the center.  Better, add two vertical autopoles to support the  horizontal span.  Connect each vertical pole to the horizontal with two super mafer clamps and a swivel snap-in.

Any time a light is suspended over people, add a safety wire between light and pole.

Span a horizontal pole only between wall studs.  Use a stud finder and bit of light-stick tape to mark the locations of the studs.

Wipe off the rubber ends before using to avoid staining surfaces.  Consider a buffer of clean cloth or rubber to protect surfaces.
