Of particular interest was Doughty's new Follow Spot Mount, specifically designed to enable a follow spot to be firmly positioned on a rail and give an exceptionally smooth movement. With rotation of a full 360 degrees, the Follow Spot Mount, which has a low friction plate to ensure an easy, smooth movement, complements Doughty's existing Follow Spot stands, stand tops and spigot. Like all Doughty branded products, it is engineered in the company's own factory in Ringwood, Hampshire.
Also on show at ABTT was Doughty's Studio Rail walk along track kits, a neat and inexpensive solution for schools, studios and smaller venues. Available silver or black in 12 lengths from 4m to 15m, the kits enable Studio Rail walk along track to be quickly and easily installed by anyone, without the need for special tools.
Other new products on view at ABTT included the Baby Quick Trigger Clamp, 35mm Atom Clamp, Beam Clamp and Reutlinger products, for which Doughty is the new UK distributor.
