Elements for LA-RAK rigging

The K2-RACKMOUNT is designed to stack one or two LA-RAK on top of a flown array.
It is composed of four rails and a stabilizer.

The rails are screwed on the K2-BUMP. Their number and position depend on the number of racks.

The K2-RACKMOUNT must be used along with either one or two K2-BAR.

1 LA-RAK : 2 rails : 2 K2-BAR

2 LA-RAK : 4 rails : 1 K2-BAR
