Doughty Lightweight Pantograph (Lighting Suspension) - 2m/3m Height


The Doughty Lightweight Pantograph is a professional-grade lighting suspension system designed for use in small television and photographic studios. Featuring a 5/8'' diameter spigot at the bottom, this system enables secure overhead mounting of lightweight luminaires, audio, and video monitors.

Ideal for flexible studio setups, the pantograph allows smooth vertical adjustments through constant force springs, supporting loads from 3kg to 15kg. For lighter fixtures under 3kg, a ballast weight is recommended to stabilize operation. For heavier fixtures above 9kg, a third spring is employed to ensure safe suspension.

Doughty Engineering offers two distinct mounting options: one with a studio rail carriage for attachment to studio rails, and another with a 5/8'' receiver for compatibility with standard spigots. Designed with integrated safety features and made to precise engineering standards, this pantograph is trusted in professional environments such as The British Museum’s bespoke photo studio installation.
