[@djwallyray]

Is the light attached to the base plate or is just placed up there?

[@JoseHeredia]

Great video DJ Barr. This is why the POW-R Bar Link is very useful in AV production. Thanks for sharing!

[@DJDynablend]

I prewired my glow totems the other day, i used IEC power in and outs and DMX cable top to bottom. Nice video

[@richardvelazquez8115]

Awesome Barr! thanks for the video good stuff

[@danquay9504]

Great video and very easy to understand, what I got to decide is what type truss I need. I love the idea of pow r bar and link bar

[@tkointernational]

Dope 🔥🔥🔥 what's there not to like...keep pushing, you got it!!!

[@AontachtTV]

Great vlogs hermano. Keep up the good work! Onwards and upwards my friend. Namaste

[@tonysilva4988]

I agree with Dj Brannon, yes you can just cut the excess bolt with hacksaw or sawsaw. Then make sure to sand and/or grind any sharp edges.Great video, I'm all about cleanness and speed!

[@arrjaj9633]

Bro love your videos keep up the good work 👍🏻I'm like new at DJing,

[@eduardoartica554]

Great idea for tv mounting 👍👍

[@djzanda2789]

love ur vids bro dj bar

[@LaVidaSonidera]

Dj Barr big fan of your videos

[@qy6e326]

Love your vids

[@mattruglio3745]

Awesome video

[@djsilverva]

My buddy permanently mounted his totem pars and drilled holes in the trusses to run the power/DMX cables permanently in the truss tube.

[@RadINation]

Love the power bar

[@DJTRANZFORMED]

Superb!!!

[@Kayplaya]

Watching over a year later. Dope info my guy! 🙌🏾

[@djk2290]

Helpful!

[@djmojoeofficial]

Nice!

[@kielhall8363]

Cool 😎✅

[@DamienCross66]

Nice tips man.

[@SinExigencia]

Good trick... Regards from 🇵🇦

[@numberonedj]

take c-clamp off the power bar, drill a 1/2 hole through truss on back side and 1/4 on inside then run a bolt through internally into the power bar.(use the 1/2 inch hole to get bolt and wrench through).. no visible bolt or clamp. and tighter connection, also way cheaper to buy power con connectors and wire and make your own lengths, also, I ran all my wires internally inside the truss pipes

[@DJVetz510]

Awesome vid brotha. Can you go over how you plan on using the wifly unit a lil more. I imagine theres a way to link up sever units into a wifly using different channels. Im new to DMX. Thanks.

[@christiananthony2026]

Ey Wadup guy DJ Whamm here love those videos keep me coming!! And yes those power bars are absolutely excellent they come in real handy!!Throwing a big 90s New Year’s Eve Celebration here at my house this year I have a ton of halogens late 80s early 90s club lighting I like the halogens better than LEDs better,tru color with the halogen my opinion though lolz u cute bro

[@gurinderjotbabra615]

For the Bolt, use an angle grinder to shorten the bolt and use a bolt cover at the end of it so it doesn't rip the cloth.

[@rendonjmtb]

Great video . I’ve been watching your videos for almost 5 hrs !!!!! (Many ideas for a mobile DJ ) I’m exhausted lol . New about dmx and wi fly . Can you explain how you set up or connect those moving heads so they work together .. thanks

[@DBNJWoodshop]

Nice

[@Johan_Marais]

Since your top plate is always on your truss, why not fit the Airstream to the bottom of it?

[@gavosantiago8344]

Im a new subcriber

[@mikejmireles819]

Fun Vid Barr; what brand PowerCon did you go with (15’)

[@RightOnQEntertainment]

I'm nervous for you about the bolt puncturing and ripping your scrim. There's gotta be a better option out there than those clamps. If not that's the next million dollar idea.

[@richardantolin2654]

Yo Bro love your Video!!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 I have a question what kind of case you use for ADJ ThreeZ??? Im looking for 1

[@tarz2506]

Awesome...Could you please answer the below questions: a. How long do you usually take to complete a Set up? b. How many hours before an event do you arrive..? c. When do you start loading equipment on the date of event or prior to that day, d. During setting up equipments if guests come in (early droppers) how do you deal...any experience as such. e. How do you manage to change suit and do you leave your equipments idle unattended, if you have to go out for emergency or to change clothes? Thank you so very much :-)

[@runchunesound6546]

Powered speakers should have that power bar built in the box for easy power supply instead of running all over the walls with extension cords to separate gfi outlets

[@mikey38632]

Link em up and make a stringer

[@gwhite82]

Fire video!!! What size base plate would you use if you're mounting 55" tvs?

[@mrhillcityva434]

For that screw poking the scrim you could cut a little piece of the plastic off the packing from the power bar pad it on the end of the screw and gaff tape it. It will solve the problem...

[@gavosantiago8344]

Esta bien crnl voy a comprar

[@djpcbaby]

Great video Barr! So you switched from the glow totems? If so any particular reason?

[@gregnite7323]

DJ PC Baby! Did he ever get back to you? I’d like to know why he made the switch too.

[@tayloredentertainmentllc]

Nice video! How are you securing the moving head on top of the totem?

[@nephentertainmentllc3394]

What are your thoughts on triangle trussing, which I use triangle arc trussing?

[@DayNNyteDJs]

Leave the nut on and cut the bolt as short as you can. Can you mount the airstream to the bottom of your top plate? Then you won't damage the antennas.

[@josephfilipow]

How does this rig do on power draw? Have you ever had it trip a breaker? I saw a video where you were talking about checking for lights on their own circuit

[@5100yes]

Hi ... Do you have a video on how to get rid of humming in speakers ?

[@dr.labbejl1686]

how do you tie the mobile to the upper plate of the truss?

[@pshone1]

Is that a 2 piece scrim. Where does the tv clamps hook up in between the scrim

[@blazinvybes_829]

You mention that u premark where you TV mounts go approx what height is that?

[@g30jack]

Take the spare nut and washer, thread it on the mounting bolt. Thread the bolt into the power block. Flip the clamp 180, tighten down the nut to the power block. No cutting of bolts needed.

[@g30jack]

Never mind... That won't work like I thought it would. If you cut the bolt, make sure you chase the threads so you can actually unbolt it in the future.

[@freddycoulson5039]

Hola paisano

[@Djstrechlife]

You can use zip ties work the same way and don’t damage them.

[@angelbaez5222]

Get a Dremel Tool and cut the excess length of the screw..then cap it. HomeDepot or Lowes sell screw end caps www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-4-Count-10-Nickel-Standard-SAE-Cap-Nuts/3035977 . ( would have to take the screw to get the right size)

[@mariomedina7077]

DJ Barr (or any of the viewers): Stupid question, I know, but how in the heck do you mount the mover to the truss top plate? Thanks in advance!

[@TheElectroclassic]

That Casey Neistat Merch tho

[@djodmaticca.8384]

Hi Bayardo I sent you a link for the right clamps you need the Mountain ark they arr called ,they wont damage your screen, i sent it by instagram

[@lukegonzalez7750]

What trusses are these?

[@locust108]

I'd fabricate a bar on the inside so that you can clamp things to them in the middle so nothing would be on the outside bars that would show when you put back on the scrim. Simple as drilling two holes in the aluminum, then tapping them add bolts and another aluminum bar or plate and now the power plus air stream dmx can be attached and it won't show from the outsides.. if done well won't even look like a DIY project.

[@locust108]

but quickest solution would be to cut the excess bolt and sand it down so that it no longer sticks out..

[@richa3346]

Just get a hacksaw and cut the bolt down then get a file and smooth it out its never coming off anyway!

[@djmannyace9123]

Get a bolt/screw that's inches shorter

[@gabrielledavis6382]

Basically you're paying $80 for a powerstrip. Only thing is to mount it. You can get one that has surge protection and usb ports for way cheaper. I'm getting heavy duty velcro straps to secure it on my horizontal truss. It's a pass. $80 is too much for it to be so clunky and bulky. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Lockwood1000]

Is there not a UK type?

[@everythingapplebro5979]

Lockwood1000 no and that Sucks for us living in Europe. (Norway)

[@dylano1895]

I would have just zip tied a powerbox to the truss

[@raulluz123]

How do u transport your moving head? Road case?

[@DJVetz510]

I recommend these: link below. These are easy to carry, compact, and padded. I have the Chauvet Intimidator Hybrid 140SR. www.pssl.com/Blizzard-Pack-MH-Padded-Case-for-2-Moving-Heads-1

[@highoctaneproductionsllc7380]

DJVetz510 do you fit both of the 140sr’s in that case? Or do they just hold one. I’ve been using the Chauvet bags with wheels and have hated them from day one- but also don’t want the weight of a dual road case because we work in venues with stairs and I do a bunch of gigs alone. Thanks for sharing the link!

[@madjoints]

Dremel, cut off wheel. cut the screw down and lightly round off the burs...problem solved!

[@ChrisDjChiGuyEngland]

Wait... did you say 4 foot 10? 😯

[@jojobombos3908]

He was kidding, he's a bit short but not that short. 😂😂😂

[@ryanrainey9291]

Try using these clamps --> amzn.to/2OfXruQ. I started using those a couple years ago and I'll never go back to the other ones. Plus it will take care of the issue with the long bolt and potentially ripping your truss scrims.

[@TheDJNEBzI]

Could you not just angle grind the bolt off

[@jtlighting9128]

Cut the screw
