I currently have the streamlight Pro Tac 2L which I love for general use. The only con that I have about this flashlight is that it does not have a tight beam at longer distances. It's great for working close but not really effective for being able to see into the grid at 30+ feet and spot...

Is anyone on here a ETCP Certified Electrician? If so, can you recommend how to document my hours that I worked that count as professional experience work hours? Thanks!

In a space that I work in with catwalks, theres no structure overhead so we tie the cable neatly down the supports for the hand and foot rails, then across the grating of catwalks and backup the supports on the other side. making sure its neat and secure to avoid tripping hazards.

I've seen this happen before in a new venue I was working in. Except it was the main dmx line to the dimmers that had melted to the fixture.

oh ok thanks!

Is this the open beta console firmware or is it the OLE? I thought the open beta was only for the console firmware, but it looks like your using an OLE? howd you get it, just contact ETC?

Not so much a "B" Shape but what I usually do with cables that are already looped around the yoke and when the unit gets hung is instead taking the safety unclipping from the unit and forming a loop around the unit and the pipe, I just take the cable and without unclipping it from the yoke of...

I do stager the lamp strikes, its a simple macro that strikes a lamp waits 10 strikes the next and it just loops for some time going through all of them.

Thanks Rochem. so basically what your saying for preshow check on a show that is frozen and currently running is have a Q that goes from gobo 1 to the last gobo on the wheel? and the same for color rather than stoping for x amount of time on each and every gobo/color?

ok so it seems basic general consensus is, its not really that important to check every single parameter of a moving light. But maybe check only the parameters/pallets/focus points used in the show?I forgot to mention, my first Ml check Q is all the movers global reset one by one then when...

Im doing a show with a bunch of moving lights, I was just wondering what everyone else generally does for a ML check during pre show? Currently I usually write a list of q's that step through every gobo/color wheel/ parameters - i.e gobo/color 1 time 1 follow 3 then switched to next gobo/color...

Does anyone know if there is a way to access windows on an ETC ion to setup a router to be used on a network for irfr? I was told by a friend of mine that I had to setup the router before I try to use it with the ION. I then asked if I needed a laptop to do this and he said no, you can just...

correct as long as you select to only merge the cue list and not the patch. when it comes to conventionals, The console knows to bring channel 1 up to its recorded level in the cue regardless if the patch is different. If you have moving lights in the rig then you want to make sure the patch for...

if your patch in the offline editor is the same as the patch on the console, then you can just load the cues onto the console by using "merge" with merge you can choose to merge everything thats in your show file or you can just merge the cues and you should be fine.if the patch is different...

You can try Altman rentals, there in Yonkers, NY. They might have them. I know they have the twin spins but I don't know about the twin spin jr. If they don't have them, ask if they can sub-rent them from another shop that may have them. There is also PRG and 4wall that you can try also.
