Frequently asked questions
When would I choose the Header over individual Adapters?
The Header is ideal for a single primary rigging point in touring or permanent installations where you want to minimize the number of connection points and maximize mounting options (dual M12 holes plus four VDO receivers) at one location. Individual Adapters are better when you need to distribute fixtures across multiple mounting points on your truss.
Can I mix both products in the same rig?
Yes—both products use the same VDO Coupler interface and M12/M6 threading, so they integrate seamlessly into the same system. You could use the Header at a primary rigging point and deploy Adapters at secondary locations.
What's the weight difference if I need multiple mounting points?
The Header weighs 2.20 kg as a single unit. If you need four mounting points using Adapters instead, you'd use four units from the set at 0.20 kg each (0.8 kg total), saving significant load—critical in overhead touring or truss-limited installations.
Do these work with non-VDO fixtures?
Both products' primary interface is VDO Couplers for VDO Grid Mount Ring and VDO Atomic Bold/Dot fixtures. The M12 and M6 threaded holes on both units allow standard rigging hardware, but direct fixture compatibility is limited to Martin's VDO ecosystem without additional adapters.
