Sorry, no.  I'm too busy working to take photos.  I take a camera with me, but always forget it in the van.

Can you give a description of the set up ? how tall are the scaffolds, do you stack multiples, how do you get your speakers on top, how long to set up, transportation issues ?

Mike did you make (or have made) that lift?

The stand in the photo is an Applied Electronics L16.

Years ago I did a gig in a small arena where I used U215s for mains and U15s for outfill to hit the side seating. This is the rigging I used. Note that except for the pullback straps the rigging is all steel. The T-Bar is the standard Applied truss adapter with adjustable width expanders made from heavy steel box tubing added.

Makes me dizzy

Do you have some pictures of this set up you could share with us? Would like to see how it looks if ya don't mind.

Here are a couple that I took when I first received all of the parts to put it together. You can see the little "on-stage" stands that I lift the 650 onto, then take my time to shackle them to the "T". This really works well. I'm surprised I don't see more of this type of setup around. With these lifts I can get the bottom of the KF650 about 12' off the ground. The swivel yoke has a pullback point, so I can adjust the angle as well.

This was a first-run mock up of the plan. I've since shortened the T to make it narrower, to closer pack the speakers for a more stable setup. The stac chain works better than the wire slings for adjustability, and shorter is better for stability. When I bought the slings (second pic), the shortest I could get them was 18", and that's just too long when put into practical use in this setting.
