has anyone used or have the light duty version of the global truss? Main difference is that it is 8.75" wide instead of almost 12". And of course the tubing is also thinner then 2". I am looking to put my moving heads on there, nothing heavy, and no plasmas.

Any info is appreciated.

Problems.

Load ratings will be quickly reached.

You'll need special clamps.

Rental when needed will probably not be available.

Your best bet is to standardize... go with the 12".

those are all good points. But I do not plan to use them more then light moving head stands (blizzard 60w moving heads or chauvet intimidator spot leds).
However, if i ever wanted to expand i would probably regret saving the few bucks by going light duty, so i guess ill have to go see it for my self in person before jumping on the purchase.
