Home made PVC DJ Lighting Truss completed

- I started my entertainment company on a budget and after buying speakers controllers programs mystic collection by the time I got to lighting this started getting very expensive. I got some moving heads and some lasers and by the time I got to trussing that's going to be another several thousand just in trussing in order too do it right and have a good presentation. So I decided to try and build it myself. With PVC. Subscribe and give me a thumbs up if you like it and send me some comments. Now be nice every time I see people posting videos there is always one who's nasty. So this is my first video.

As a light guy... all kinds of NO here. Hope u have great insurance bro...
Insurance won’t help at all with this kind of negligence. Especially with this documentation showing he knows the correct gear
😂 go to sleep
Gosh, man. I really admire your ingenuity. But this is an accident waiting to happen. I would have rather you gotten the cheaper lighting and invested in quality, safe lighting truss that would have lasted you indefinitely.
That $500 dollar stick of truss is gonna look real cheap when one of your lights injures a client.
Yeah more like 140 for what he needs. LOL Thats gonna look really good in court.

GUYS! He is y putting a ton of weight or hot lights on it. Chill out!!!!
You must think he is mounting overhead rigging to this or something... It's a vertical stick, probably for use with LED lights. It isn't gonna melt.
@@landonp629exactly but if he was to add a steel weight at bottom it help
I like it, probably needs something inside to make it sturdier. Maybe fill it with something like foam
As a person who works in the lighting and sound industry then this is very unsafe. The moment it warms up, it will flex. This is a huge no. You never cheap out on safety.
WRONG! Been a touring musician for 20 years! We ALWAYS use PVC trusses. As long as you aren’t putting hot pad cans on it. He is using leds, which produce very little heat. He is fine!
What is going to cause it to heat up? LED lights put out hardly any heat at all, and certainly not enough to come anywhere close to melting PVC.
While I agree, If you’re cheaping out on truss chances are you’re also using cheap lights that don’t produce much heat
Please listen to all the other comments. I'm also an LD and if I saw that on an event I'd be running a mile.
Like, fair play, it looks cool and would be really cool as a set piece. But please don't try and actually rig stuff on it. For the sake of a couple hundred quid for a real stick of truss it's really not worth the potential law suits something like this can cause.
There are plenty of us in the pro-AV world that would be happy to give some advice on what sort of stuff to get, and often with some really cheap options. But rigging is the one thing you should never cheap out on.
looks awesome
For those complaining about it "melting", you can use CPVC, which is designed to stand heat. Or use metal pipe.
I don't get what these people think is going to happen with this... He probably is using LED's, which don't produce anywhere close to enough heat to melt PVC - and it doesn't look like something that is going overhead either. Frankly, I fail to see any danger whatsoever here.
Just had the same thought. Saw this video. GREAT WORK!!!
That’s freaking awesome man! Great work
Funny. Very funny. I know your trolling the internet hard...
Super build looks tops!!!!
All this talk about your cost savings but you failed to budget the cost of a major lawsuit.
Wow, putting in all this time to save so little money. Guess your time is not very valuable? About as valuable as you think keeping things safe and professional is?
I have a very good question! First off I love the design and that is made of pvc but I have one very very good question.
Are you side yoking the fixture or are you just placing in the fixture in the center ?
They are glued and fished with screws.
side yoking
@@Floridabeatmakers you are a fucken idiot
Hello, very good, how long and wide is it? please
I get that you want to save money and invest what money you have in the beginning into good gear, but structural stuff like truss can’t be done safely without PVC. Your asking for a failure or to hurt someone. Take back a couple of pieces of gear or rent and put the cash into the safe correct stuff.
I want to test how strong it is. Time to put 2 SGM G-SPOT IP65 fixtures on it
Could hang a couple of G-spot turbos on here no problem! Even some room left over for a couple of JDC-1s 😂
Lmao, man that would be a sight.
@@guillaumelalonde7945 yo go buy some pvc , this weekend we gonna be rigging an aqua 480 onto pvc truss , LEZ GOOOOO
@@tnikiforov just dont put a tilt effect on it, one while aqua fuck yeah dude
First lesson they teach you in Rigging 101: If you don't have the exact weight rating from the manufacturer (certified by a reputable structural engineer,) it is unsafe.
Simply put, if it's not engineered for it, any weight is UNSAFE. PERIOD.
Please do not use this creation in a public venue. It's a cute lawn ornament, but it could serious hurt someone
Looks great what kind of paint did you use?
Rust oleum paint at Lowe’s.
I use them as totems. Made my own sock for them at Joann fabric.
What specific color did you use? I see about 2 or 3 possible options. @@Floridabeatmakers
There is used Global Truss literally all over the country at good prices. We just sold off half our old inventory at less than half price just to make room for new. No reason to put others at risk over a $100 stick of truss. HELL you can get a 2m section of lite duty truss from mono price for $140 new. Id say hope you've got good insurance but chances are you don't have any if you have to do this shit.
You seem like a nice guy and all, but if this tells you how bad this is.. it got shared in one of the largest lighting groups in the world because of how BAD of an idea this is. Just don't man. This is very bad lol
I will be uploading a new design in a few days. And the platform is heat resistant. 😊 so yes this is structural.
I filled mine with concrete!
Nice Job! Any idea on how much on materials and how many hours you have in on each Truss? Also, are you transporting as a single piece in your vehicle or are you able to dismantle those in sections? The paint looks slick, but I'm thinking moving them around they are going to get scratched and dinged real quick unless you are really careful or wrap them in transit or something. Let me know how it's working out for you, considering a similar project myself.
Know your limits. Might seem harmless and intuitive but it’s not.
Why not put a list of supplies in the link so we know how you did it!
“20 years experience yea right
Do you think I can hang 4 Chauvet 350 Intimidator spots on it ?
probably not...for fixtures like that u probly need metal trussing
I have 2 intimidators. 1 laser &1 swarm
You can reforced with a metal interior if o need suport more weight.
No. You can’t hand washing on this thing. Don’t cheap out when it comes to rigging
This is a horrible and VERY unsafe idea hope you are ready to explain your cheapness to the person that gets hurt or possibly death.
This is a bad idea on so many levels.
"I want to start working in sound&light rental but shit is too expensive to buy so let's just DIY the crap out of it", not a correct way of thinking. You can get 2 meter black (which looks way better) Global Truss for about 125 euros on Thomann. Just get some stands to put them on and you're done. Hella cheap and nothing wrong with that if you're just going to hang in some small moving heads, led pars or lasers.
Where did you get 2" 4 way fittings
Greenhouse mega store on google
Thanks man appreciate it !!!
Scraper Xblade do not try and replicate thisThis is a horrible and VERY unsafe idea hope you are ready to explain your cheapness to the person that gets hurt or possibly death.
@@Floridabeatmakers you are a fucken idiot
@@skaterman160 I'm from Trinidad this would cost me about $15000 for only small gigs?
You bought quality equipment... but shit support for it all?
lololololol
Saving some money isn't a bad thing but I hope this is a joke. Please know the dangers of this. The weight it can support, how much this will flex, overall stability and there is no base for support. A child could easiler knock this over injure themselves or someone else. Trussing isn't a corner where you want to skip. If you don't plan on heavy rigging, go with F16 it's cheaper but F34 sets the standard. All I am saying is please be careful and think of others not just your back pocket.
Nooooooooo. No.
😂😂
This is an absolutely terrible terrible idea. You’re going to seriously injure someone.
This is a horrible and VERY unsafe idea hope you are ready to explain your cheapness to the person that gets hurt or possibly death.
im doing this myself man..it crazy what they charge for metal trussing...although it may be justified when including the price of materials...but with todays led light fixtures and how much lighter they are i don't think metal is necessary anymore
I have been using a LED-fixture for a while now that's about 26 kilograms. And I'm not going to put 800 meters of network and multi-cables on a 40 meter piece of plastic, S36-truss on the other hand will hold that shit. Metal trussing is more than just the materials what you're paying for, it's also all of the safety-checks and what not to even be able to be sold and then it has to be able to endure a lot. Something plastic won't hold for even the slightest.
Yer, jason I’d love to see you hang some maverick 3 on there. Or even some soca. It’s metal and it’s expensive because it’s safe and it stop amateurs like this guy from using it incorrectly. PVC could probably hold 10kg UDL before one of the ends shear clean off.
If your leds fixtures are "lighter", you really arent buying pro stuff thats just about it. Pro-equipement is always a lot costy, and a lot much safer/worth it. Also unless you are able to do the math into calculating your weigth dristribution/load capacity of your Truss, you really shouldnt do that and are playing with fire without proper knowledge. The price you pay for pro-gear is exactly that. The fact the pro stuff comes with a sheet giving precise capacity of its material. If you dont have that, you dont have safety thats it, go see how shows are driven in poor country and you will see.... peoples dies, structures falls and destroy completly any fixtures in/under it, etc and btw they even are using metal truss most of the time... you need knowledge, or just dont be stupid at least and be very safe about proper "capacity estimation" you have of a poor-though product.
Is that your house? Are you rich?
