Martin VDO Sceptron Pivot Coupler
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron Pivot Coupler
The Martin VDO Sceptron Pivot Coupler is a precision rigging accessory built for live-sound and broadcast lighting crews who need flexible fixture positioning without breaking down the rig. This coupler enables rapid angle adjustment between VDO Sceptron or VDO Fatron fixtures, making it essential for venue reconfiguration and complex multi-light geometries during setup and changeover. The quick-locking mechanism and intuitive pivot design keep workflow efficient in fast-paced live and production environments.
Fixture Mounting & Positioning
The coupler mounts directly between the ends of VDO Sceptron or VDO Fatron fixtures, sliding into the channel at the back of each unit and securing with Allen bolts into integrated nuts. This design allows you to lock fixtures at precise angles using 15-degree interval stops across a full 180-degree pivot range, providing repeatable positioning for multi-light setups without manual calculations or tape measures.
Installation & Road Reliability
The coupler features a durable black finish that resists scuffing and blends seamlessly into professional lighting rigs. The Allen bolt fastening system ensures secure, tool-free adjustments once you're familiar with the setup, and the enclosed channel design protects the coupling mechanism from dust and accidental damage during transport and rigging.
