About the Martin Moving Light Omega Mount
The Martin Moving Light Omega Mount is a universal, heavy-duty yoke mounting bracket designed to provide a secure and flexible rigging solution for a wide range of professional moving head and static lighting fixtures. Its robust, cast aluminum construction is engineered to support substantial weight, ensuring the safe suspension of valuable equipment in touring, theatrical, and permanent installation applications. The mount's signature "omega" shape offers a wide clamping range, allowing it to accommodate lighting truss with various diameters, typically from 30mm to 51mm, making it a versatile and essential piece of hardware in any lighting inventory.
Featuring a standardized 1/2-inch female receiver, the mount provides a secure attachment point for the fixture's own yoke or mounting bracket, which is then locked in place with a safety-rated pin or bolt. This design allows for precise adjustment of the fixture's tilt angle before final tightening. The clamp itself is secured to the truss via a heavy-duty bolt and a large, ergonomic handwheel, enabling quick and tool-free attachment and adjustment while maintaining a strong, vibration-resistant grip. Many versions include integrated safety features such as secondary locking pins or tabs to prevent accidental opening, adhering to rigorous entertainment industry safety standards.
This mount is valued for its reliability, ease of use, and adaptability, forming the critical mechanical link between the lighting fixture and the overhead structure. Its universal compatibility reduces the need for multiple, fixture-specific clamps, simplifying prep and setup for lighting crews. By providing a secure and adjustable foundation, the Omega Mount allows lighting designers and technicians to focus on the creative and technical aspects of positioning their fixtures with confidence, knowing that the hardware supporting them is built for safety and performance.
