The Foba TURSU 18.1" Steel Shaft allows you to mount a plate (be it the acrylic TURTE, the opaque TURTU, or one that's custom-made) approximately 18" above the base of the TURNA floor-mounted turntable.
The inner shaft of the TURSA rotates, causing a plate to turn, but the outer shaft is fixed – this enables the attachment of fixed lights to the outer part of the shaft.
With the optional acrylic plate and the TURAL fitting for two lights mounted to the TURSU, you can cast an even, non-rotating light on your rotating object and shoot it from every angle. This enables you to create an interactive, rotatable animation of an object with virtually no need for retouching in post.
The TURSU shaft also can be attached to the ceiling-mounted TURNU, so you can suspend lights and objects (or further accessories) from it. The steel shaft features a tapped M8 thread on top.
