The ACHILLE version is the most recommended one for travelling, with a total weight of 150 lbs - 69kg for the full 24" / 7,3m version ( weight varies depending on options and length used ) it's very lightweight but still very stable. It has a lower Breaking load than the GOLIATH version, but still plenty of strength to handle easily duos with dynamic actions and trios with a Min um Breaking load of 5500 Lbs/2500 Kg. At one third of the weight of GOLIATH, this structure is what you need to perform anywhere, anytime.
Comes standard with one point of attachement, but designed to be used with the optional trapeze spread-bar (see Options)
You can also protect your investment by adding a kit of 3 Aluminum stakes to your order. Made to hold your Achilles Tripod to the ground and prevent it from falling over in high winds. The stakes are made completely of aluminum and are 30 inches long, made with 3/4'' rod.

You can use the rig like this, and hang directly your props on the hanging points provided.
But, if you wish to have a complete kit to pull up and down artists and props trough a pulley system, you need also:
