Ceiling Rail Track System with 4 Pantographs

A ceiling rail system moves your lights off the floor entirely: two fixed 3m rails, two mobile 3m rails and gliding carriages cover a 9-square-metre grid, with pantographs that pull each light down anywhere from 39.5cm to 203cm below the ceiling. No stands, no cables at ankle height, no legs creeping into the edge of frame — in a compact backdrop studio, the floor space it returns is the whole point.

Each pantograph supports up to 15kg, which covers studio strobes and COB LEDs with substantial modifiers. The system is modular, so the layout can grow or change with the studio.

Installation deserves respect: the rails must go into a structurally solid ceiling (never plasterboard or a suspended grid), fixings are not included and must be specified for your ceiling, no single point should carry more than 15kg, and avoid bunching more than two pantographs close together. If in doubt, have a professional survey the ceiling first — a safe installation is the installer's responsibility.

The rails are 3m long, so the system ships as an oversized delivery. The delivery charge is worked out at checkout.

Returns are inspected in detail. Anything sent back must arrive in the same condition it left: free of marks and scratches, with every accessory, all the protective plastic and all the inner packaging, undamaged. If anything is marked, missing or damaged, the return may not be refunded, or up to 50% may be taken off the refund. Please measure your space and check your ceiling before you open and unpack everything.
