LOS ANGELES – The Cosmic Truss F34 Baby Tower allows for an unobtrusive ground support system to be used. Its compact form makes it suitable for applications where locations are difficult to access and where application with normal ground support is too big and heavy. Instead of being conceived as a truss tower, Baby Tower is essentially a tube — designed to support a grid made of 12-inch box truss. The legs are in sections and can be set to a maximum height of 23 feet (7 meters) while retaining a strong aesthetic.
