Stupid question, but...

What is this called and how is it secured with a high-roller?

It's for a 12x12 ft frame for a muslin bounce and I never set these things up I always have a grip do it for me but this time around I won't have one... :scared:

i believe its called the "ear" its the center part of the frame, there should be two, that attaches to/slips into a grip head, like youd see at the end of a c-stand.
so stand, grip head, that thing. obviously build the whole frame first. with lots of sand bags on each stand you should be fine.

Thanks you Jordan. Do you happen to have any photos?

Jordan is correct. the center "T" cutout slips over the thread of a C-stand clamp so the frame won't slip out of the grasp of the clamp. Actually makes it difficult, in a good way, to remove.

Sometimes also called fishpole. Avenger has the RH02015 ears which holds their foldaway frames like for example the H2008. This might also be used for other frames as well and would then not necessarily limited for a center position. As it slips over the frame it can be mounted to an already set up frame.

Hopefully this clears it up for you:

On a high-roller, you'll have a junior reciever, so you'll either need a junior pin to baby pin adapter (for a baby grip head like the one in my photos) or a larger grip head that has a built-in junior pin.

And remember, righty-tighty! (when you're looking toward the handle on the grip head, always have the weight falling to the righthand side)
