Martin Low Profile VDO Sceptron/Fatron Half Coupler vs Martin VDO Sceptron/Fatron Spigot Adapter 28mm
The Low Profile Half Coupler minimizes fixture-to-truss distance for tight overhead rigging, while the Spigot Adapter connects VDO fixtures to standard stage hardware like floorplates. Choose the half coupler for compact truss-mounted rigs; choose the spigot adapter if you need to integrate with existing theatre or floor-based rigging systems.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main functional difference between these two?
The half coupler mounts fixtures directly to truss overhead with minimal distance between them. The spigot adapter converts the fixture into a component that plugs into standard 28mm spigot stage hardware, expanding compatibility with existing theatre and touring gear.
Are both compatible with both VDO Sceptron and VDO Fatron fixtures?
Yes, both the half coupler and spigot adapter work with both VDO Sceptron and VDO Fatron fixture lines.
Which one should I buy if I'm touring and need flexibility?
The spigot adapter is more versatile for touring because it lets you use standard floorplates and rigging hardware found in most venues. The half coupler is best if your touring rig consistently uses truss mounting and you need to minimize headroom.
Do I need both, or just one?
It depends on your rigging approach: choose the half coupler alone if you mount to truss only, the spigot adapter alone if you use standard floorplates and stage hardware, or both if your rig uses mixed mounting methods.
