Low-Position Moving Head Lighting
Create a lower mounting position for compatible moving head lights where the equipment and complete installation have been verified as suitable.
Mobile DJ Booth Lighting
Place matching stands beside a DJ booth for a symmetrical lighting arrangement.
Wedding and Party Decorations
Use compact truss pedestals as decorative display elements around wedding stages, backdrops, or reception areas.
Indoor Event Lighting
Suitable for planned low-height lighting positions in small indoor performance and event spaces.
Exhibition Displays
Can be incorporated into suitable product display or exhibition arrangements where a compact truss pedestal is preferred.
Rental Equipment Packages
Useful as a dedicated low-height totem option for rental companies that already offer compact lighting and DJ equipment packages.
How to Choose the Right Totem Height
Choose the 1m Version If:
You specifically need a lower lighting position.
You want a compact truss pedestal rather than a tall vertical tower.
Your DJ booth arrangement calls for low-height decorative lighting.
You need a small display tower for an indoor event.
Consider a 1.5m or 2m Totem If:
Your event requires a higher mounting position.
The stage or DJ backdrop design calls for taller vertical columns.
You want lighting fixtures positioned higher relative to the surrounding equipment.
A taller stand is not automatically better. Choose the mounting height according to the desired lighting effect, fixture characteristics, audience positions, and verified equipment arrangement.
Which Color Should You Choose?
Silver
Choose silver when you want a conventional aluminum truss appearance or need to match existing silver truss equipment.
Black
Choose black when your event uses dark staging, black lighting equipment, or a black DJ booth arrangement.
The color choice is primarily an appearance decision, not an indication of load capacity.

Required / Usually Needed
Lighting Mounting Hardware
If you intend to mount a moving head fixture or other equipment, confirm that its mounting interface is compatible with the 300mm top plate.
For suitable lighting connection components, explore our Truss & Rigging Accessories collection.
Matching Truss Assembly Connectors
The base plate, vertical truss column, and top plate must use the appropriate connection system.
Optional / Upgrade
Additional Totem Stands
A matching second stand may be useful for symmetrical DJ or wedding lighting layouts.
Explore our Totem & Display Truss collection for other height and configuration options.
Decorative Truss Covers
Compatible fabric covers may be useful for creating a finished appearance around the truss column.
Cable Management Accessories
Cable-management products may help organize lighting cables along the stand. Cable routes must avoid excessive connector tension, moving fixture interference, and trip hazards.
Setup and Use Notes
Before installing lighting equipment on the truss totem:
Confirm that all truss-to-plate connections are correctly assembled.
Position the base on an appropriate supporting floor.
Check the fixture's mounting hardware and mounting position.
Verify the complete stand's stability for the intended equipment.
Keep cables organized and protected from unintended contact.
Consider the movement envelope of any moving head fixture.
For outdoor installations, offset equipment loads, or unusual arrangements, additional project-specific evaluation is required.
Do not assume the stand can support any moving head fixture simply because the fixture fits on the top plate.
Common Buying Mistakes to Avoid
1. Confusing Total Height with Truss Length
The specified 1m refers to the complete assembled stand.
2. Choosing a Stand Only by Its Appearance
The fixture's weight, mounting position, and the complete stand configuration affect suitability.
3. Assuming Every Moving Head Fits the Top Plate
Different fixtures use different mounting patterns, bolts, and mounting adapters.
4. Forgetting Matching Connection Parts
A complete stand needs compatible connectors between its structural components.
5. Buying One Stand for a Two-Sided DJ Setup
If you want a balanced arrangement beside your DJ booth, check whether you need a matched pair.
6. Ignoring the Fixture Movement Area
Moving head fixtures require sufficient clearance around the fixture during operation.
7. Using an Indoor Configuration Outdoors Without Assessment
Wind, surface conditions, and equipment loading must be considered separately.
