Out of curiosity, why?Remote spots suck.
What is your experience level in operating follow spots? It's relevent, as the models that kind of operate like a camera tripod will have you doing really odd twists and turns to orient the fixture (unless you're square-on with the target). I had 3 arena shows in a row where only 4 of 8 (or 10) were reasonably on-axis. The crazy stuff happens when you're 45° or more from straight-on. Upstage and to L/R? It's gonna be 'fun' with those units.Out of curiosity, why?
Hi Al-I've used both small scale spots on swivel bearings (source 4, CCT Sil 2k) which you could operate like a camera tripod if you were perverse enough, and super troupers, and all of them I operate to the side of the unit. I have a feeling trying to follow spot with a tripod like yoke would just feel alien, and of course I've no idea what kind of inertial feed back the remote spots give you. I guess it's a whole new skill to learn.
Yep, and that's why I say what I do. If it worked as expected, even the TV camera tripod-style handles and controls, it would be usable. The "reverse double gainer" to make the fixture twist, turn, and tilt to follow the talent is not intuitive.Sounds "interesting" to operate.
