I would like a brief primer on what this is and why someone thought it was a good idea. Ok maybe not the second one. Is it missing something? Is it really a pain to work with? What is it commonly called? Thanks.

Part of a play we are doing is set on a ship, brigantine class (c. 1770ish), and it calls for a "shadow of mast and sails," on a few characters. I'm thinking that if I were on such a ship it would be more a diffuse flat light than shadows. I'm thinking I could do this with a gobo of a square...

Is a 240V Source4 worth it over a 120VAC model?

Thanks. I found the manual a little challenging at the start but once I started to figure out what I needed for lighting then I was much more focused for getting info from the manual.

I'm considering purchasing the DVD that ETC had produced to learn more about the Express console. I have two questions though. 1. If you go to ETC's website now you can view the current element videos they have them grouped as disk 1 and disk two. Will this be similar to the Express DVD's? 2...

I'm working with a center manager and they say that the best price that they can get for a stage-pin connector is around $25. Looking at B&H Photo Video I see that they have Altman connectors for $10 plus shipping. Are they getting a bad deal or is there another side to the story? Thanks.

Thanks everybody that's what I was looking for. I had thought of most of the questions that were raised but just needed confirmation.

I've read that some have found that buying 1'x12"x12' and ripping to 1x4 is the most economical. I was a Lowe's today and noticed that they had bundles of precut 1x4x8' measuring 3/4x3 1/2x8'. When you cut the 1x12 do you plan to cut to 3/4x 3 1/2? Thanks.

It almost looks like he missed his mark. I bet that would have looked impressive had he been about 3 feet further forward.

So, how do they get away with it in I/T applications. I've seen a few networking nodes use a long power strip powering switches. Also, I thought that I saw at a television station a similar set up. Would this then fail an electrical inspection? Or, do you just have to calculate your power load...

Does this mean that if I have a Monster Power Conditioner that has a sequencer built into it that I can't add a generic power strip and zip tie it to the rack in case I run out of edisons I want to use in the power conditioner, technically?

We got one of these for our church and it has worked pretty well for us. It has separate power processing with regard to power draw. We run one crown ce1000 and a mackie board as well as eq etc. It has a built in sequencer for what you are asking for. Check the specs to make sure it will handle...

So I think that one of the vibrations is the middle lens that isn't secured in as well as it should be. Hopefully as everyone has suggested placing a gasket will dampen this.

Ok I have some pictures of the spot. As you can see there is some masking tape residue. As well as the overall state of the lightA big thanks to all!

For the record the follow spot is an Altman 1000Q. I must have merged the two when I was researching the spot. Thanks.
