I'm making some modifications to a t-bar and I have a question.

The T-Bar that I have originally came with 4 American DJ or Elation Par 38 can lights. This is a generic T-Bar and only says "Made In China" on it.

Although I should be proficient in diameters I, simply, am not... :sqwink:

Can someone tell me the diameter of the upper most extension rod, and what "O" clamp that I need to attach an Acrobat light to it?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
Upper most extension rod would typically be 1 3/8". Unfortunately few clamps fit that tightly without marring the pole, however there are some easy modifications that can be done to make that work.

Take a ruler and measure the distance between one edge and the next right throug the center of the pole that will give you the diameter... most likely it's either 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" You can get an O-Clamp from Ben that has an inserts for 1-1/2" and 1-3/8" and remove the inserts for 2"

Thank you, Ben. Please advise of the modification, and let me know what I need to get. I will place the order with you tomorrow.
 
you will have to get the diameter to it as T bars come in a couple sizes. Then Ben can help you out. He carries all that stuff.

If I use your method of measuring, it comes out to 1 inch.

Wow you have a tiny pole.... :sqerr:

But they do have devices to fit your narrow diameter....

wow this could get ugly quick
:sqconfused:

I hate trying to measure diameters...
so I usually make an impression of the open end
on a piece of paper or light cardboard
it's easier to measure with a ruler when it's flat on a table!

or in cases where I need a measurement for home improvements
I just take the paper into the store.

Good idea! I'll do that tomorrow when I wake up.

I use normal ETC Clamps on 1.25" pipe. They should work on inch and three eighths.

Yay for truss condoms!

OK, I wrapped a piece of paper around the upper most extension, and I marked where the two edges merged. Here's a pic.

That is not the diameter of the pole that would be the circumfrence (sp?).... take a look at this picture...

Divide the circumference by pi (3.1416) to find the diameter

therefore the diameter would be 2.625 / 3.1416 = .83

That does seem pretty small for a pole though.

CRAP!
no one told me there'd be MATH involved!
I didn't study!
