Broadweigh Toolkit update Version 02.25 fixes a bug which left some transmitters in a pairing state leading to possible rapid battery drain.

On April 2, 2025, President Trump issued a clarification to Executive Order 14257, which introduced new tariffs on various imported goods. Below are the essential points and how they affect you as a Paradigm Rigging customer:

1. Tariffs & Exemptions

   • Executive Order 14257 imposes tariffs on several products entering the U.S.

   • The recent clarification specifies exemptions for particular HS Codes, including 851762—the code under which many of our Broadweigh products fall.

Broadweigh has launched the Wireless Hand-Held Display Standard (BW-HK-S), a powerful new tool for riggers and technicians working in the high-pressure world of live production. Fully compatible with Broadweigh’s trusted wireless ecosystem, the BW-HK-S delivers instant, on-the-ground access to real-time load and environmental data — keeping crews connected to what matters most, when it matters most.

We're extremely excited to announce that we'll be exhibiting at LDI Show in Las Vegas next month! Along with our product partner, Paradigm Rigging, you can find the Broadweigh team on booth #2019 where we'll be debuting new products and making some significant announcements about what our customers can look forward to in 2025!

Tom Lilly, Broadweigh Applications Engineer, has authored another technical article Using the data from load cells. Following on from his previous contribution What happens in a load cell, Tom dives into “now I’ve got some load cell readings. What do I do with them?” and how using the data from load cells provides further insight into how load cells can be used and where their limitations may affect the information available.

Autoshows are big business in North America with events like the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and The Canadian International Autoshow in Toronto. As these events continue to grow in size and popularity, booth designs become more complex, there is an ever increasing need to use load cells.
