GEARit Lighting Truss System 12 ft Tripod Stands with 10 ft Truss

In this review the GEARit Lighting Truss System is evaluated for DJs, bands and small venues that need a portable, professional rig. The bottom line: this kit is for users who want a compact, modular lighting frame that covers a stage without permanent install work. The complete set includes two 12 ft tripod stands with full-size T-bars and two 5 ft truss rods that link to provide 10 ft of horizontal mounting space, and it stands out primarily for its combination of reach and a substantial 36 mounting points while remaining transportable.

Key Features

• Complete stage coverage: Two linked 5 ft truss rods give a combined 10 ft span so lights can frame a stage without blocking audience sight lines.
• High mounting capacity: Thirty-six total mounting points provide flexible rigging options for PAR cans, wash lights, strobes or lasers to shape the look of a live set.
• Strong load rating: Heavy-duty steel poles and tripods support up to 200 lbs, which handles multiple pro-grade fixtures and effects safely.
• Modular setup: Use both truss bars for a wide frame, one bar for a smaller layout, or just the T-bars on the stands to spread lights farther apart for nonstandard stage shapes.
• Included mounting hardware: Basic rigging hardware is supplied so the system is ready to assemble for a gig without hunting for extra parts.

Who It's For

This system is aimed at working DJs, small touring bands and venue techs who need a reliable, portable truss solution that can be set up quickly and takedown equally fast. It is especially useful when you need a frame that reaches up to 12 ft high and spans roughly 10 ft wide to properly illuminate a stage or DJ booth.

Those who should consider alternatives include users who need a permanently mounted truss, very large festival-scale rigs or lighting arrays exceeding the 200 lb capacity; in those cases a full-sized, professionally installed truss would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Portable but tall configuration with two 12 ft tripods offers excellent sightline clearance.
• Thirty-six mounting points give real flexibility for mixed fixtures across the truss.
• Steel construction and a 200 lb capacity mean the rig handles pro gear without feeling flimsy.
• Modular use of truss bars or just the T-bars adapts to many venue sizes and layouts.

Cons

• May be overkill for solo performers who only need a couple of small lights and want a lighter, lower-cost stand.
• At full height the setup requires care during install to ensure stability and safe rigging of heavier fixtures.
