Visitors to the Doughty Engineering stand at BVE 2016, running from 23 to 25
February 2016, will see a range of products designed with the broadcast sector in
mind. There are two new additions to Doughty’s modular rigging system, as well as
a selection of grip, rigging, suspension and lifting equipment on display.
Doughty’s two new modular rigging system additions at the show this year are a
mini drop arm and a new projector mount. Mark Chorley, design engineer at
Doughty commented: “The projector mount has a safe working load (SWL) of 25kg
and offers a 360 degree rotation as well as a 15 degree tilt in two directions. The
mini drop arm meanwhile is based on our super lightweight clamp. It accepts 16mm
receivers and has a safety bond slot. We’re sure our customers who already use the
system will find these two new additions to be extremely valuable.”
“At last year’s show, we got talking to Manoubi Ben Lamri, Staffordshire University’s
specialist technical instructor for animation. He realised that we would be able to
help create a less chaotic, safer space for his students to move more freely around
their practical work. We collaborated to rid the studios of all their lighting stands
and instead used the Doughty Studio Frame to suspend all the lighting and the
cables too.”
