Why would you need one of these. I mean all it is is a S4 that moves. It's a huge fixture too. It does not have gobo's and has a color scroller in it. So all you can do is reposition where it's pointed and throw in a color which you probably dont want in the first place. It's slow too.

All I can say it's it's a huge rip off. If I needed a beam to move, I would use an I-Cue. Why go out there and buy this HUGE unit that does absolutly nothing but act as a very nice paper weight. Are you really cutting down of fixtures in the theater? When I use a moving head in a show, I want the CMY and gobo wheels. If I just need the beam to go back and forth and shift position, then I use an I-Cue. Honesly, look at what your getting then decide if it's a practical fixture.

You can't always go " Oh it's high tech, I need one". Look into the fixture, look at what it can do. Am I saying the Rev is a bad fixture, not really, it's just pointless for what it does. now if they turned it into a true moving head and not a search light, then maybe it could be of use.
