Avenger’s CrossPole Takes Location Lighting to the Next Level

New lighting hanging system gives film crews the ability to light any environment.

New Pricing makes CrossPole Kits 30-50% More Affordable!

Avenger now offers one of the most revolutionary lighting solutions available today - the CrossPole. Developed by Avenger engineers after visiting a film set in Venice, Italy, where film crews faced lighting difficulties because of the lack of a floor or ceiling on which to mount lighting equipment, the CrossPole takes location lighting to a new level.

An innovative and flexible lighting mount, the CrossPole is perfect for mounting lighting in areas such as doorways, windows, sets with no floors or ceilings and where set and staging don’t allow you to use floor space. Sold as a kit, the CrossPole includes a static wall plate with built-in spirit level to secure the pole evenly to any wall surface, a single operation set up expander, locking collars, two telescopic tubes and a multifunctional bag for travel and transport.  Additional telescopic tubes can be added to extend the pole distances from 2.7 feet up to 19.7 feet. A standard, single 6m CrossPole offers a maximum capacity of 165.3 pounds.

The Crosspole expander is an innovative and patented component that safely permits the bending of the tubes, and with an automatic loading index, the pre-loading of the CrossPole. The static plate guarantees a secure grip with the wall and is opposite the expander. Locking collars prevent the CrossPole tubes from sliding and feature aluminum grips and rubber covers.

Crosspole Details:

EXPANDER: The first of the two end plates is the expander. It has a pre-loading index which can be pre-set to the distance between the two walls so that the CrossPole's tension can be fine-tuned with minimum adjustment: designed to guarantee the maximum safety and resistance for the CrossPole's working life.
TUBES: The X400KIT is supplied with six tubes in special aluminum to cover any distance between two walls from 80cm (2.7ft) up to 4 meters (13.1ft). The 3m (9.8ft) tubes used to bridge 6m (19.7ft) spans are available as an accessory - code X406.
STATIC PLATE: The wall plates have a special component that pivots to allow the tubes to bend and guarantees the maximum grip with your wall. Provided with levelling bubble and assembled with bolts (no rivets).
LOCKING COLLAR: Dedicated component that prevents the telescopic tube from sliding under load. Provided with aluminum handle grips and rubber covers.
MAX LOAD: Given the wealth of applications and combinations of one or more Crosspoles, we decided the best thing to do was to declare the max load in the most extreme scenario: When using one CrossPole at 6m (19.7ft) length, the max load is 75kg (165lb)!

CrossPoles and CrossPole Kits are currently available in the U.S. as special order.
