Rosco offers a short extension which bolts on and pushes the mirror just a little further out if you want to fit a scroller. If you're not using a scroller you don't need the extension. They also offer irises several ways, most iris tighter as DMX values decrease while one irises wide open with a DMX value of zero. The iris goes in the gobo slot while the I-Mirror goes in one of the gel slots. Use a good gel protector / heat shield if you're using a scroller. The heat shield can live in the color slot behind the scroller. Devoting two channels to pan and two more to tilt gains excellent resolution and makes the steps unnoticeable. Seven channels: 2 for pan, 2 for tilt, 1 for the iris, 1 for the scroller and 1 for the dimmer. The scroller makes a bit of noise, the I-Mirrors are essentially silent. If you plan on using two I-Mirrors and want to use them on the same actor at the same time (A full body shot and a head shot for example) consider hanging them face to face so the mirrors are as close as possible to occupying the same physical space. Of course two mirrors can't actually occupy precisely the same space but you'll find they actually track amazingly well this way.
Do you have a link? I can't find it on Rosco's site. Thanks.
If I'm recalling correctly, the mechanical extension for the I-Mirror was called the Broadway extender. A previous poster mentioned it was 6" to 8" long but I'm recalling it as much shorter, more like 2 to 2-1/2". If it extended the mirror very far, beams would shoot past the surface of the mirror. I'll check Rosco's site and edit this post if I find a reference to the extender.Do you have a link? I can't find it on Rosco's site. Thanks.

Edit: This should take you to a page on Rosco's site where they refer to the existence of the extender for the I-Mirror. They refer to it in print but I didn't see a current part number for it.

Edit 2: Here's a quote referring to the I-Cue's scroller bracket from Rosco's site: "An accessory bracket, the "Broadway Mounting Kit" extends the mirror head out from the color slot over the scroller body in instances where the scroller is not capable of holding the I-Cue directly."

Have your received your I-Cue yet and what do you think of it?Thanks for the help, I've ordered the Broadway Kit and all is good.
Please let us know what your customer thinks of the I-Cues after they've used them for a while. I quite like them but I may be a little biased.
