So this summer I'm working at theatre this summer that want's to use follow spots. Well, they have some arc follow spots but one of which isn't working, and on top of that they wanted something new. So I suggested some 10 degrees. So a couple calls later, we have new 10 degrees, a couple of irises, and some handles. However, the City Theatrical Yoke for the follow spot is pretty pricey and we couldn't afford it. so we're hoping to just use a regular yoke for it. So here are my two questions for y'all.
Have you guys used a S4 follow spot with the regular yoke? Any tips or tricks to make it go smooth???
Obviously the end of the barrel is pretty heavy, so have you guys found any counterweight thing to rig up to help balance it out??
I know the theatre is wanting to make these follow spots a permanent thing. And eventually will by the City Theatrical Yokes. But it just wasn't in our budget this year.
