Brian... Please read my directions carefully!! One trick that is very important, before you print, go into the printer preferences, and set the graphics to FINE, or set to the Highest DPI available. This is the trick to make the black background BLACK!!!!

If you would like my sweet 16 gobo, I have it in a word doc, and I can email it to you

Thanks Scottie, I'll PM you.
 
The Gobofolks said you can use a transparency in the 100W unit...just have to move the lens with the "holder" away from the main unit...though I haven't tried it yet.

If a bride & groom want a gobo, I tell them to order it from Goboman...then I don't have to worry about using a brighter bulb and they get to keep the gobo as a momento...se attached...

Booch

I have the Goboman 75 watt. Everytime I tried it. I just didn't like the quality that I was getting. Its probably the ink or transparency that I use. I decided that if I do this then I don't want to worry about burning film or ink not good enough.

So I Will go with the Mania PR1 next year it will look good in our setup and I will just charge to have the gobo made. If I can have them made for 50 to 80 dollars I will charge 100 dollars and pay for my mania eventually. We use the EFX 600's so it will fit in our look. It will be the centerpiece in the truss if you used.

According to Martin, they weigh 36.4 lbs (I know...as we grow older, it seems heavier..lol). The PR 1 weighs 19.8 lbs....91 lbs...

Here's the T Bar I use:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...NEZ-Crank-Light-Stand?sku=453074&src=3SOSWXXA

Rated at 100lbs.....With two identical lights, the stand would be balanced...The PR 1 in the middle....

The cranks work excellent; this is a good, durable stand (I use 2)...you can put speakers on them as well....

There is this as well....I'm assuming it's rated at 100lbs....

Dave; for what you have, this would make you set up neater and more versatile.....the T could actually go behind you, as with the Bose....there is nothing blocking the lights...
 
Sometimes you get what you paid for...

One time use:

I used the Gobo Projector Once and lend it to a friend and at the event the bulb went out...:sqmad:

He paid $60 for the gobo and never got to show it...

Good thing was that the client never missed it...:sqerr:

I just sent away for replacement bulb from
BulbAmerica.Com (4 bulb at $12 plus shipping = $22)

I have another event where the client want their names in lights...
I hope with the 4 bulb I can be ready to replace one if it goes out at the event.

I order the same size just to make sure I don't have any problems...

(EFP 100 W/ 12V MR16 HALOGEN BULB)

Wish me luck...:sqembarrassed:

Does anyone have a current link to the IKEA lamp?

I had to use the unit from Ikea once in place of the goboman unit that I have been using.... It is no where as nice to use. It melted the transparency in time... and right from the time I turned it on, the ink on the transparency smoked....

It did work... but not as nice.

and does Ikea sell those??? or did you have to purchase a second unit to get the extra ring????

that would have helped, you are right! anyways, It did do the trick, I was in a bind, we had one more wedding with the projection up sell going out then gobonan units... Steve was generous to lend me his Ikea unit. .... THANKS STEVE! :sqbiggrin:

Ive got lots of the Goboman units now.
