| I put on goal post style trussing ok and all with little work. 3 should work and all fine. I just got 5 because of the deal i had and wished I only took 3 and all. I did construction work before moved on to the mining industry working under ground as construction operator then move up to mill after being there a year. |

| Is there only one option of mounting the smartMACs and that might be through trussing or your homeconstructed truss system? Or can they mounted on basic tripod with T-Bar top? BTW if ya ever want to sell your lights I am falling in love with them..lol...but who wouldnt love em... |

Not sure about that will have to look at em once I get the gear out of storage and all to be sure on mounting. I know basic truss system works but not sure on T-bars and all off hand. I remember there pdf of manual for it and had this.
The smartMAC can be placed on a horizontal surface such as a stage, mounted on a quick-release bracket or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The quarter-turn clamp bracket mounting points in the base of the fixture allow clamp brackets to be fastened parallel or perpendicular to the front of the fixture.
Go to Physical installation section of pdf on the manual here and check out and see there instruction for 2 types installs. That may help you out more then I can atm.

The stands I used was similar to this set up here but a custom homemade job to handle the weight better and added a winch to the stands to make it easier on raising and lowering the system. I also have 2 T-bar tops to go with it on the ends.

Because I needed a stand system that could hold around 520 pound of gear. If you added all my lights up minus the strobes and smoker it is around about 520 pounds of total weight of just lights. |

| Will after checking that out will it work for you with that type light stands? |
|

| No. The weight is an issue. I am heavily looking into building my own truss system w/ crank...just like you did. The ones online are very expensive, so I do it myself. Any tips? |
