GRIFFIN DJ Light Stands 2-Pack Stage Truss System - Portable Crank-Up

In this review of the GRIFFIN DJ Light Stands 2-Pack, the bottom line is simple: this kit is built for mobile DJs and small production teams who need a reliable, portable way to raise lights and speakers safely. The reviewer found the crank-up mechanism and removable 60' central T bar especially useful for switching between lighting and speaker duties, and the pair handles medium loads without fuss. It is a practical stage trussing solution where ease of transport, tool-free setup and a solid load capacity matter most.

Key Features

• Crank-up lift: The hand crank gear lets a single operator raise and lower the stand smoothly, reducing setup time and strain.
• 60' T bar: A removable 60' central truss T bar provides a long mounting span with multiple hanging points for par cans or lights.
• 200 lb capacity: Medium-duty steel tubing supports up to 200 pounds per stand, so it can hold lights, speakers or video gear securely.
• Adjustable height: Two interlocking poles allow height adjustment from 60' to 114' to keep gear above audience sightlines.
• Compact transport: Retractable tripod legs and a moderate 55 lb total weight make it feasible for mobile DJs to move between venues.
• Durable construction: Steel main and top shafts provide a stable platform for repeated setup and breakdown at events.

Who It's For

The GRIFFIN pair is aimed at light jockeys, mobile DJs, small festival rigs, school productions, churches and clubs that need an affordable, portable truss stand for lighting and midweight speakers. Its crank system and removable T bar suit operators who alternate between light bars and speaker mounting without heavy rigging.

Those who need heavyweight touring truss for permanent installs or shows with loads well above 200 lb should look to professional-grade trussing systems or truss towers rated for higher capacities. Likewise, if precision motorized height control is required, this manual crank stand may not meet that need.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid medium-duty steel build with a clear 200 lb load rating for common DJ gear.
• Hand crank mechanism is easy to operate and speeds setup for one-person crews.
• Removable 60' T bar offers flexibility for lights or speaker mounting in a single kit.
• Retractable legs and moderate pack size make transportation practical for mobile use.

Cons

• At 55 lb total, the set is portable but still requires effort to lift for a single person over repeated gigs.
• The crank-up design is manual and not suited to users who prefer motorized raising systems.
