Quick Answer
To organize your studio with the Float Wall Mount system, start by mounting a Float Base to your wall, then attach the Arm Kit or Light Stand Hanger to store your gear securely and off the floor.
Why Choose a Modular Wall Mount System
The Float Wall Mount system by Lindsay Adler is a customizable storage solution that lets you adapt as your gear changes. Instead of a fixed rack, you attach accessories to a base plate, so you can rearrange your setup without drilling new holes.
Keeping your lighting equipment off the ground not only reduces clutter but also protects your gear from accidental knocks and dust. This is especially useful in small studios or multi-purpose spaces where floor area is limited.
Understanding the Components
The system consists of three main parts: the Float Wall Mount Base, the Float Wall Mount Arm Kit, and the Float Wall Mount Light Stand Hanger. The Base is the foundation that attaches to the wall, while the Arm Kit and Light Stand Hanger are accessories that mount onto the Base.
The Arm Kit is designed for strobes, constant lights, cords, V-Mount batteries, and camera straps, while the Light Stand Hanger holds up to three light stands or C-stands. Knowing what each accessory does helps you plan your layout.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Plan your layout: Decide which wall area you'll use and mark the positions for one or more Float Bases. Consider the height and reach for the items you plan to store. Check that the wall can support the weight and that there are no obstacles like pipes or wiring behind the drywall.
- Mount the Float Base: Using the included hardware and everyday tools, attach the Float Wall Mount Base securely to the wall. Ensure it is level and firmly anchored. If you're unsure about wall type, use appropriate anchors for drywall or masonry to ensure a secure mount.
- Attach the accessories: Once the base is in place, slide or click on the Float Wall Mount Arm Kit or Light Stand Hanger. Verify they lock securely before loading any gear. Test the connection with a gentle tug to confirm it's secure before hanging expensive equipment.
- Organize your gear: Hang light stands, strobes, cords, or other items on the mounted accessories. Group similar items together and keep heavy gear at a comfortable height. Distribute weight evenly across multiple mounts to avoid overloading a single point.
- Adjust as needed: Take advantage of the modular design by swapping accessories or repositioning them as your storage needs change. Simply detach and reattach to the base. Keep a small tool kit handy for occasional adjustments, but avoid over-tightening screws.
