Kupo: 80cm Long Safety Cable
Apr 11th 2022
Hello. This short video will introduce you to the 30” or 80-Centimeter Long Safety Cable. Anytime you have an object suspended overhead from any grip hardware, whether it's from a boom, or in this case from a lighting grid in the studio, safety cables are essential to protect your gear and your overpriced talent. Simply place one end through the mounting block of the Profoto head. We want to remove as much slack as possible. In this case, I’ve doubled up the cable. Since the cable can easily slide off the end of the boom, it becomes loose unexpectedly. I'm going to use his Convi clamp to secure the cable to the boom. This way if the light ever separates from where it is rigged, you can be sure to avoid certain catastrophes. keep a few of these safety cables handy to provide a safe working environment and peace of mind. Thank you for watching. When it comes to your vision and your grip equipment, at Kupo we like to say, “Never let go.”
