Pros: Reliable (everything I've seen from Robe has been)
Adjustable
zoom (nice if you want to make the
fixture do double duty (ex onstage + gobos on
house walls)
Relatively quiet (at least for Robe, and the fan is
DMX adjustable)
Cons: Still not whisper quiet (in
theatre, you might need to break position changes up over several fades to keep the noise down over a quiet scene)
Stock Gobos, especially the rotating ones, are (I think) pretty lame
8
bit mode is jerky, so it wouldn't be my first choice for operation from a non-mover aware
console
