MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS
For the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards , the client elected to re-imagine the familiar Moon Man Logo . The Moon Man was the main element in the staging , and appeared as an impressive sixty foot tall inflatable whose head was also used as a band shell for the main stage . The rigging structure used weighed 26,000 lbs , was a little more than fifty one feet tall , and over forty six feet in diameter at its widest point . In order to achieve this task , Kish Rigging , one of the world ’ s top rigging companies , elected to use twenty-eight individual inverted one ton chain hoists in specific locations with a Ron StageMaster load cell on each hoist . JR Cassidy , head rigger for Kish Rigging , commented “ I considered it essential to include Eilon Wireless Load Cells to monitor the loads as they were applied . The dependability and simplicity of the system gave the near-instant feedback which was needed to avoid damaging the building , or the support grid .”
RAMMSTEIN 2009-2013
“ We ’ ve used the RSM product for a long time , it ’ s a type of insurance and at the end of the day gives peace of mind . We are very satisfied not only with the Ron StageMaster load cells we own but even more with the good support and constant development from Eilon Engineering .”
Martin Gehring , co-owner at Germany-based and internationally recognized Dart Rigging GmbH who served as head rigger on Rammstein ’ s 2009-2011 “ Liebe ist für alle da ” tour , as well as the 2011-2013 “ Made in Germany ” tour , which ended in August 2013 , used Ron StageMaster systems in both tours to monitor the loads on the 50t of suspended gear .
