Conventional Fixtures Need 2 Rotating lights.

[ThemeParkPenguin]

Hey guys!

I am putting on a production and I was wondering if any of you have any spare or broken rotating DMX-512 lights. They don't need to be big, (standard size DJ lights preferably) It doesn't concern me if the actual light is working, what I need is for it to be able to rotate via DMX. If any of one have some spares it would really help me out and I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Are you talking about scanners or a gobo rotator?

No a simple moving head intelligent light

What are you trying to do?

Simple moving head and inteligent dont usually go together. Ever opened one up? Not quite simple. Renting is probably gonna be your best option, something like a VL2500 or MAC700 type deal. Or just go full boar and do a PRG bad boy... (Eurovision blog makes me want them always, along with 100 odd Alpha spots...)

OP, you say you don't care about the lamp working; do you just want DMX controlled movement to use for some other purpose? If so, there are probably easier ways to do that...

The reason I ask what he is doing with it, is it almost sounds like he just wants the movement ability, so something like a right arm might work better for him.

Never quite understood why the "Right Arm" costs you a left leg!
Heck, there's decent movers that cost less.

A "decent mover" with an MSRP of less than $1195? Do tell.

Ever price a City Theatrical AutoYoke® ?

And with a street price of 900 bucks...

All I can think of is the crazy tech mover. The one where you get a tech to squeeze into some small place to follow an actor with an instrument most commonly a S4. though it does not have the steadiest move.

upon re-reading, it does indeed seem to be what is desired. A right arm is a great thing...

Just surprised the Chinese don't have a knock-off for $250 yet! (I may have spoke too soon, who knows!)
Look at the technology that's packed into a I-phone!

I know we have the ultimate "nitch" market and so the design costs do not get written off over millions of consumer units sold, but a grand (or much more in the case of the AutoYoke) for "Up down, left, right" strikes me as a bit much.

The chinese are selling Mac 101s knock off's (or unbranded ones ) for 500 dollars.
