How Rob's Rain Hats Work
General Installation
Hold the Rain Hat vertically, line up the Handle Hole with the handle. Push the Handle Hole over the handle, rotate and bend the Rain Hat over the lamp head, tie each side to the bail, and walk away.
Securing a Rain Hat
All of Rob's Rain Hats tie to the bail, and all ties are rigged to hang from the interior surface (inside the Rain Hat, behind the bail). To tie the Rain Hat to the bail, just cross the two ties behind the bail and bring the two ties back to the outside of the bail. Then just tie the knot of your choice.
Scrims and Gels
Scrims and gels can be added or changed with a Rain Hat installed. Simply load from the bottom, pushing the scrim up through the two side ears until the bottom ear is clear. Then, settle the scrim back down onto the bottom ear.
Locking Handles
Most Rob's Rain Hats have a patented Handle Hole in the sides, which allows total access to the locking handles while the head is protected by the Rain Hat. When coupled with the bail ties, this device cannot fall forward or backward in a gust, exposing the lamp head to rain or sleet.
Large Rain Hats
Each Large Rain Hat (12K, 18K, Arrimax, and 20K fresnel) has a notched inset cut into the bottom of the left and right side. This inset is designed to fit either between the bail and lamp body, or to sit snugly upon the carrying handle on the bail, depending on the head type and manufacturers design.
Large Rain Hat Handling
The Large folding Rain Hat is designed to open past horizontal and wrap snugly over the head in an upside down U shape, not an upside down V shape.
Remember:
Conestoga = Good!
Teepee = Bad!
Ballast Protection
Forget worrying about your ballasts in bad weather. If it's a little shower, just lay a small Rain Hat and a shot bag on top of it. If it's really coming down hard, lower the transport handle and wrap it like a lamphead, tying the bail ties under the ballast.
