Dioptra Rail System — Studio
Tax included where applicable. Delivery calculated at checkout.
ELVARNIXO Rigging — gravity, negotiated
The Dioptra clears the floor for good: ceiling rails rated with margin, carriages that glide under load, pantograph drops wherever booms want to travel — for mounting to load-bearing structure by a qualified contractor.
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. Mounting must be to load-bearing structure by a qualified contractor — keep the installer's documentation, because studio insurance reads paperwork, not brochures.

Care
Wipe risers dry after exteriors, keep knuckles free of grit, and a drop of dry lube on threads twice a year. Check load pins and safety cables before every overhead rig — thirty seconds that insurance adjusters never get to bill.
Questions, Answered
What are the real load ratings?
Stamped on the equipment and stated in the listing, tested at double before a batch ships. If you need more, rig bigger — never closer to the limit.
Do you install rail systems?
No — we do not provide installation. Rail systems must be mounted to load-bearing structure by a qualified contractor; keep the installer's documentation for your insurance.
