Various terms are used for one and the same product. Perhaps you’ve heard of drop arm or low hanger? These are names for the same product. But what do you use such a drop arm for?

How do you use a down rigger?

Essentially, you use a drop arm to relocate the mounting point for equipment. Trusses often hang high, and it may happen that this is not the desired position for certain equipment. By adding a low hanger, you’re basically creating a downward extension. This is often used when mounting lighting behind a band or DJ. By combining different down riggers at various heights, you can also create a very playful effect.

The down rigger is also widely used for hanging TV screens during a trade show. Trusses are often attached as high as possible there. That’s perfect for lighting, but not for the visibility of the screens. By attaching them to a down rigger, they can be hung at any desired height. Ideal for creating the perfect viewing height.

What are the characteristics of this down rigger?

The Admiral Freedom down rigger has an adjustable height. The arm is extendable, allowing you to determine the exact desired height. When fully retracted, this low hanger has a height of 50 cm. If you extend the arm completely, it bridges a height difference of 85 cm.

Can I extend this down rigger?

If the above length is not sufficient, no worries. With the help of an extension arm, you can adjust this drop arm from 150 cm to 185 cm. This way, you can always create the desired drop arm. You can order the extension piece via the options at the top of this page.
