Questions & Answers

Shopper : I also have a drop celling can that work?TOM T : It can but extra wire that is holding the suspended ceiling will need to be reinforced or the stantions put in place to hold the rail to the structure above the drop ceiling. Again i would tell you that if you do not have 11 ft as a starting point it is not worth it, the rails and pantographs drop the working area to a point that 11 would be a minimum starting point, if you have more you would be happy. My personal preference and i have both is the FOBA, but the Manfrotto is a great addition.CHRIS H : I don't know if I'm too late in answering this, but I have a solid drywall ceiling over joists (old house/studio). Also not sure what the full question was, but if you are wanting to mount any rail system, it's gotta be anchored into something VERY substantial to support the weight of your lights. You'll have to go into studs at least. I can't imagine trying to work around the drop ceiling. Hope this helps.T G : I actually don't have the accordian lights, but I did purchase three rails to attach hair and accent lights directly to the rails...I hope to purchase the accordian suspension bits by the end of the year...I had a profession install the rails...they're quite heavy, so attaching them to studs is a necessity...you'd need to get up beyond your 'drop ceiling' to attach these, and that, I wouldn't think will look very good....you'll have to get creative to work around that. Even without the accordian suspension parts, the rails have been extremely handy, and once the whole system is in place, it should prove to be amazing...floor space is always a problem in our studio.... hope this helps... Terri G.
Shopper : How hi must my celling be for this and can someone come out and put this up?T G : My ceilings are 9 feet high....I have three of the rails installed - by a professional, as the rails are extremely heavy and getting everything level and secure is critical. I have not purchased the accordian suspension bits yet...so far I have only attached hair and accent lights directly to the rails...and this by itself is proving to be quite handy...with my 9 foot ceilings, I believe that I will only be able to use smaller softboxes on my lights, so my main light will probably remain on a light stand, as I typically use a 4x6 softbox with my main. Hope this helps...Terri G.TOM T : I would not install the 54 system in anything less than 10ft ceilings, easy to install with proper connections to structural supports, do not tie to ceiling tile or weak structure. Make sure you begin with a plan to attach as the system comes with flat plate ceiling connections, if you need stand offs or extensions to get to rigid structure then you need to plan for that. Level the long rails is critical. 2 people can install in about 6-8 hours pending tools and level of skill.
