Hi, I don't know if this is still available for rental, but our school has an upcoming production (March 24) and would be interested in possibly renting. We're south of Pittsburgh, PA If it's available, I'd be happy to send a PM with contact information so I can share with our Producer! Thank...

I didn't do an exhaustive test, but we had good success with the Microflex and the bodypack for our 2 hour meetings. SB900 battery pack showed between 4-5 hours of charge left after use. For specifics, it was the ULX-D transmitter with a Microflex MX391. The transmitter had a new SB900 battery...

Thank you all for the great responses (as usual)!

That looks great! I might start printing all my breakups....

Hello CB, I have an odd question which I think will require some trial and error, but wanted to ask the group if anyone had any experience in what I'm considering.Background: Years ago I was able to rent some lekos (Selecon Acclaim, I think) that had the light source 90degrees from the lens...

Thank you everyone for your responses. I can report great success with the setup. Will comment on battery life after more testing. Rob

Hello all, So I saw a couple of threads alluding to my answer, but I wonder if anyone has real world experience:Can I make a Shure microflex microphone work with a ULX-D Bodypack? They have the same connector and I know the pack puts out phantom power. I tried a proof of concept with a Shure...

Thanks Ron, They would be hitting the ground- about 1-2' from the U/S wall. No one under it. Pars are a 64-size instrument, Aluminum, LED fixture. No stripping on stage ;) no touching the poles, no one else to use the stage while this is built.All that said, this probably won't happen- but...

Hello all, I have a rigging question- more of a 'should I' than a 'can I'...I would like to make a horizontal wall (5x5 grid of par cans) of lights on my upstage wall- similar to a rock and roll show- for our upcoming production of Grease. I can use horizontal pipe into bases, but they would...

I did this a few years ago and had pretty good success with it. Agree with Marshall, though, that you won't get huge amounts of fog.Our method involved a 32 gallon garbage can with lid. I cut a hole for a 4" pipe at the height of my fog machine. I attached a tube leading from the machine...

Thanks egilson.That is how my initial installation was and my thought as to how it should have been done. The contractors, "allegedly" ETCP certified riggers as well, had some other glaring installation mistakes so I wanted to verify.

Clamps are aluminum. Purchased them from production advantage about 5 years ago.

Hello CB,My Auditorium is in the midst of a major renovation and I'm having a bit of anxiety about the way some things have been rigged... specifically, I have two torm positions (HR and HL) with only vertical pipe.In the past, I've used cheeseboro clamps with a cross pipe and an evenly...

I'm going to +1 Robert's post. Had that happen to me in a 70's ish auditorium with Colortran dimmers. Cleaned the air sensor and blew the dust out of the racks and problem was solved.
