Right now I'm sitting here watching the MTV Video Music Awards. The show isn't that great but the technical side is very extensive and complex. They have a lot of video screens around the stage and theater that show various things such as video clips, various backgrounds and logos, live...

We usually use the bolt at the bottom of the clamp instead of the panning bolt because our panning bolts tend to break or bend pretty bad.

If you have some scoops your not using you can put some yellow gel in them and hang them with the cyc lights.

Anyone have any experience with this? I've tried it several times in the past but with no luck. I'm hoping I can get it working soon so it will be easy to focus our next show.

I see your guy's points about keeping the strand. I know that its a decent board, its just harder to learn. I think I'm just going to start looking into getting 1 or 2 extra submaster sections to add on to it. Does anybody know a good place to buy these from and/or how much it would cost?
