Castor Boom System
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Rigging — gravity, negotiated
The Castor puts light where stands cannot stand: counterweights calibrated and labelled, reach and load tables printed on the arm, and safeties included because overhead is a promise, not a hope.
Overhead systems are engineered like the ceilings they hang from: rails rated with margin, carriages that glide under load, pantographs balanced so one hand moves what one hand should. We survey, install and certify — paperwork included, because studio insurance reads paperwork, not brochures.
Design & Craft
- Motorised pantographs balanced for one-hand moves
- Knuckles bite without stripping — serviceable, stocked
- Counterweights calibrated and labelled by position
- Legs level on cobbles, cables and church steps
- Load ratings stamped, tested at double before batches ship

Care
Sand stays in sandbags: brush leg joints after beach and site work. Do not exceed stamped loads, ever, even briefly. Rail systems get a yearly inspection by our riggers — included for the first two years.
Questions, Answered
Will stands survive location work?
Steel and aircraft aluminium, stainless fasteners, and legs that level on real terrain. Our rental fleet is the torture test.
Do you install rail systems?
Yes — survey, engineering, installation and certification are included in CZ; EU-wide by quote. Ceilings differ; the paperwork always arrives.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Every ELVARNIXO fixture ships with its own photometric and colour report — CRI, TLCI and SSI measured on our Prague bench for that serial number, not copied from a brochure.
