There are merits to both options. Aluminum is light weight and easier to transport, but it doesn't deform before failing like steel does. Personally I'd rather have a rig that I can visually see has been stressed before it fails. But that's just my 2 cents. -Tyler
Thanks for making this video. Its hard to find this information. Do you have any thoughts on steel vs aluminum portable circus rigs?
