Pantographs issues

[Amelie Desplebin]

Hi all,
We have a photo studio in Fulham with a track system (Bowens) with 3 pantographs. unfortunately we seem to have some issues with it, the Pantographs don't stay still, and a screw even fell off the other day (potentially very dangerous for people and cameras underneath...)
I was wondering if anyone could recommend an engineer or someone who knows how to install/fix these.
Many thanks.

I think AJ's (http://aj-s.co.uk/) got Higlide out of Bowen's corpse so your best bet may be to start there.

As suggested in your original thread by @HoppyUK the pantograph being mechanical should be 'easy fix' (this is just a thought.................but a bit like balheads that require no lubricant, if the pantograph system has a similar joint system i.e. no lube. If someone has oiled it then maybe that is the cause of the problem(?) )

Having said that this company is an official Bowens repairer for the lighting units themselves so might be able to guide you about the pantograph servicing etc

And not far from Fulham either
