To address this, Ben devised a hook clamp spigot adaptor which would overcome this problem. Like the Doughty floor plate, this handy widget allows the hook clamp, complete with wing nut and washers, to be slotted into a secure fixing, which is mounted on a standard spigot fixing. This is then simply inserted into the lighting stand to present an immediate solution to stand-mounted lanterns without the fiddly process of removing the hook clamp.
"Preparation time is reduced saving both time and money," says Point Source managing director, Stephen Capel. "There is also a significant reduction in stress with no more lost washers or with those wing nuts that always seem to refuse to come undone at times of pressure!"
Point Source Productions has worked closely with Doughty Engineering to produce the hook clamp spigot adaptor which was launched at ABTT 09.
