I generally don't run around with a toolkit instead I have a leatherman on my belt ;) although I was constantly using a specific tool I would probably choose to carry the "specialized/specific" version of that tool (in addition to a multi-tool?).I still have to check w/ a cop friend to see if...

The SOG B66-N (powerpocket?) looks very nice, I am a tad worried though spring loaded knives may not be legal in my country (even for people licensed to carry guns)...Can you clarify how you swap tools, it doesn't look like they have bit-holders or something along those lines....The...

I posted my question in the poll (with my vote and my opinions) but I guess that since it's a pinned poll most people don't look there anymore. I had to send my leatherman surge in for repair this week and am finally realising just how much I use it every day, since they told me that repair...

Chamsys MagicQ Maxi Wing costs less and have more features... (MQ60 I think costs about the same but is a full desk). But off course the spec here is gMA so then this wing is probably most cost effective....

So far I have been big on leatherman, I own a Surge Tactical (black) which I had to send in for repair yesterday and now I feel missing and am therefor strongly considering buying a new tool so that I'll have something to work with until it gets back...In the past I owned a Charge Ti which got...

If I recall correctly led rgb pixels are normally set that they don't have a beam in gMA, rather they just color...What you can do is copy the rgb pixel and add a beam to it, I don't recall of the bat how that is done anymore, but you can either do it in the fixture editor of the console/onPC...

I saw those here by a few productions, and was not very impressed, they were using 20-30 iirc (quite a few, whatever the amount was).The beams were very nice but when using the colors they were not equal, when moving them some of them did not respond etc. so you were stuck with a very nice...

Maybe I'm misreading you, but the way I'm understanding you it sounds like you think a long cable run is determined by distance to first fixture. The distance is from console until the end of the run or until the booster/signal splitter on the line (and from there it is again until the end of...

Privacy is a beatifull thing ;), although once I finally get around to creating my website advertising myself that will be gone too so I might as well... "Here" for me would mainly be The Netherlands (Holland) and/or Israel.

I can't say I read the whole thread, I may do at some later point but I have to say that as someone who is used to working outside of the US every time I read about how stuff works with the unions in the US it scares me. I guess it comes with the cut-throught market-rules-all attitude that...

I'd like to decorate a room at home with some DMX/Art-Net/ACN controlled Leds, since it's just for decoration and some amient light I am not looking to spend 4-figure numbers here but I would like to have the option of controlling every 'pixel' so that if I get bored I can 'play' a bit at...

One of the LDs I once talked to about MagicQ just said that it "is a HogII on steroids/HogII copy" (he is a big Vector guy), I myself am a very happy MagicQ user, am also familiar with MA and like their style too but they just don't fit my budget. What I also really like about MagicQ is that...

Have you tried contacting Zero88? In general this can just be old age, in a venue I worked at a few years ago they had a Lightmaster XLS, after a few years (5-6 IIRC) of use it needed to have it's faders and other often used knobs looked at. The mode selection knob (which switches between...

//negative-mode USB only goes up to 5m (15'). You'd need some logic in the fixture to inform the USB controller about the power needs, and 100W is only @ 20V or possibly even slightly more. //end-negative-mode

The standard allows a refresh-rate anywhere between 1Hz and about 829Hz: - an update has to be sent at least once per second (1Hz). - if you use the shortest possible packet following every packet directly by the next packet you get just over 829Hz.
