The Kupo Slim-Type Half-Coupler with 1 1/8" Junior Stud has many uses on sets when used in conjunction with lighting grids or select light stands. The high-tensile aluminum coupler can support gear weighing up to 440 lb.
This half-coupler is a cheeseboro-type clamp, also known as a Big Ben, that works as a sturdy rigging for a variety of rigging requirements. Heavy-duty junior stands are the perfect candidate for pairing with 1 1/8" half-couplers to suspend a length of pipe over a subject for a quick overhead setup. After the rig is in place, another half-coupler clamp can be used to hang your desired light fixture and modifiers. It's also a suitable rigging point to add to pipe grids and truss with 2" diameters.
