"Grapple" type device
Bonnie Lackey:
I posted this on the AV board but am wondering if anyone has used the Grapple for either stage or decor lighting. I am in no way affiliated with the product but it has given me some creative ideas. Now if we can just get some bendable truss.

I've never used it myself but have seen it before. I've thought about getting some but haven't had a need yet. They're quite a bit less expensive than corner blocks, so that might be a viable alternative.
Rick Earl:
I designed and fabricated a similar device about 1o years ago. I used it in a venue where i had fixed points and needed to build a custom grid to accommodate the clients needs. On recommendation from our structural engineer we down-rated the load on the truss by 1/2 because of the compression on the tube side walls.
We had no issues to speak of when using it. Eventually we fabricated a custom truss length so we could use a corner block and go to full loading. They make a handy tool but not a replacement.
