Aerial Safety

Aerial equipment should never be used unsupervised, please consult a professional.

Everything below assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig. Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.

Check out our aerial blogs for more information.

Creative Play

This highly portable (and adorable) little aerial hoop offers a new world of fun opportunities to create new moves and routines!

Flexible folk looking for a fun new challenge will enjoy adapting moves to work in the smaller space. The unique challenge offered by the mini aerial hoop will inspire you to create something new and think about the moves you know in a fresh way.

If you don't have enough height to hang a full-size aerial hoop, you can use the mini-hoop for grip strength training and conditioning. You can even rig a 1-Point hoop below or above the mini hoop!

Or inside the hoop

Sizing

This is the smallest aerial hoop we offer, and our usual size guide is not applicable.

This hoop measures 50cm outside and 45cm inside.

The mini aerial hoop is not for kids or smaller people, and it's not the hoop you get because it's the right size for you. The fact that it's not the "right size" is what makes it so fun!

How to Rig the Mini Hoop

Slings for Shows

You can use a Prodigy Aerial Sling in some circumstances, but we don't recommend this for long-term rigging. You could use these in a performance if you need rigging which is less visible to the audience.

The Standard Way

The mini hoop can be rigged in the same way you would rig a 0 point hoop, by choking a polyester strop onto the top bar.
Tip: If you are using the hoop bare (un-taped), you will need to put tape directly under the Strop/PolySafe Rope to prevent the bar from slipping.

Rig to Spin

If you want the Aerial Hoop to spin, you need a carabiner at the top of the rope/strop, which can be connected to a swivel and then another carabiner secured to your anchor point.

Tech Specs

Made from 1” diameter 10G tubing (25.4mm with 3.2mm wall). TIG-welded with mild steel filler rod, root and then cap welds done on the top and bottom joining welds. The top weld has a solid mild steel insert to back the weld.

Powder-coated with a matte black finish, which not only looks great but protects the steel from rust and is easy to wipe clean. Ready to use with or without tape.
