Hey guys,
Well this summer we are getting a few new toys, one of them including an Altman Comet. The school has never had a followspot so this will be interesting and make my life a lot...lot..easier. I can set the foh lekos at the beggining of the year and leave them all year. I hope.
So, I cant really find to much about the Comet online. Some spec sheets but thats about it.
Going to be great not needing to use one of our limited lekos to have a spot like, on the pro. wall for a special scene or take one up for a color now that it can all be done with the followspot.
Can the Comet hold Gobos? Not sure if it is worth using them from there or using some lekos/mini ellips'. I should have more open foh lekos this next year though as I am going to rehang them right. Someone came in to 'clean' and took them all down. So, they are all over the place, we have a mixture of 20, 30 and 50 degrees. (We have Colortran 5/50s, not adjustable without removing the front I believe)
Anyways, any thing special about the comet? Is it a good model?
Also, dumb question, are they Edison plugs or twist lock/stagepin?
I don't believe the unit is DMX for intensity no?
And I believe it has a douser, dimmer, iris, focus, and standard colors?
Our throw is only like, 60-85 feet.
