Yes, Scottie has done a wonderful job with his Goboman. But he does say that it does not do well on dark surfaces being only 75 watt.
This projector is 150 watt and still uses transparencys. This is most of the reason I decided on it.

Thanks Briar wasnt attempting to steal any thunder yours most likely is the best option but was pleased to see Scotties doing fabulous as well.
Thanks Jon... yes I have had great response with what I have been able to do with the Goboman 75w unit. I can create custom gobos easily and cheaply on my computer and printer.
Birar is correct, being only 75w it is not all that bright in a fully lit room.. however most of the time the lights are dimmed during a wedding reception. I also need to find a lighter colored wall, or ceiling to project onto. Usually this is easy enough... however there are times where the walls are a dark wood. I also have not been able to project onto a dance floor. I dont care much about the floor... once there are people on the floor, you can not see it anymore anyways.
If there is a unit that can use transparences and has a 150w bulb, I would like to get more information on it.... brighter would be nicer.. but again the Gonoman is only about $80. or so.
here are some pictures of what I have been doing with this baby:

Was that for 2 units?? or one?? does this projector give you the option to rotate the transparency gobos??
any idea where they are being sold?
Thanks

I'm going to try...
...putting a transparency between two pieces of glass. If it melts, then it melts... I've got a few ideas how to tone it down too. I'll keep you all posted.
I thought I might put it on a light dimmer first, then try putting the transparency on the outside of the lens. We'll see...
SCOTTY... would you mind posting a picture of one or two of your gobos?

in order to get the gobo to focus, the gobo needs to be between the lamp and the lens.
As for pictures.. are you asking for pictures of what I have printed from my computer?
I will do you one better... here is the word doc that I use to make them.

Hey Scottie.
The $155 is per fixture.
The gobo is actually placed in what they call an "oil wheel". You can place several gobos in this wheel and rotate from one to another but the gobo itself does not rotate.
I bought both of mine new off Ebay.
And yes I am very impressed with what you have done with your Goboman. I had one in my hand at MBLV07 but the lame "no smoking" gobo that they had projected on the wall was less than impressive. I had no idea that it would have worked anywhere near as good as you have shown.
Thanks... their sales person really wasn’t that great.. I don’t think they know that it worked this good... I should sell them some of my photos for marketing!
mmm... that gives me a idea..... I’m going to be giving Mr. Goboman a call this week!!!

Scottie...
I posted your photo and description on another site (I gave you credit), and was told that the image was bogus. The responder said there was no way those pictures are real. I have to ask, is this the 100 watt unit, and are they all normal pictures? He claims he's seen one and they're not that bright. The first shot looks almost like a spot light... any comments?
I am truly considering getting something like this.

T, I can vouch for Scottie since I've seen his light in use and it works good. He has the 75 watt unit. Whoever said Scottie's image was bogus should be put in his place for talking about something they know absolutely nothing about. Loser...
I flew back from Vegas With Scottie holding the light in his lap. Whoever made those comments obviously is one that belongs on other forums.
I dont think a par can will work. It would need some sort of lens after the gobo to focus the image.
As for the pictures... ya, I phoptoshoped them all just to get a bunch of DJs that I dont know to say nice things about me... hehehee - as if I have that kind of time! Tyrone... they work great in a lower lit room... Dinner, Dancing lighting.. they work on a lighter colored wall or ceiling. They will not show up on a darker walls, or in a sunny room.
Really, they are all pictures using the 75w Goboman projector.
Here is another one from last Sat night.

That's Cool...!!! A
I love that you can make your own Gobo's...
I don't know if 100 watt would any better but
200 or 300 watt would but then I don't think you make your own Gobos...
Scottie, are those Gobo's you made on paper...???
and how are they held in place...
Thanks...
Sorry about asking about Par Can...
Len is the key word here...
BTW: I like the colors you used in your business card,
it is somewhat I my new cards...
I nice logo too...

the gobos are printed onto a clear transperency, on a ink jet printer. The GoboMan unit has an holder to hold the gobos... I add a snall strip of good ol gaffer tape to make sure it doesnt move...
thanks for the nice words about my logo, and card.... Hire a PRO.... it works!
Hey, I just notice the transparent logo too
I didn't notice that one before...
Very nice job...
Here is a look at my business card...
I like your better...
As far as the paper again, (sorry)
Would this one work... ???
Paper-Backed, Clear Transparency Film by 3M, PP2410, 100/Pack
I found this at my local Office depot here in CA.

I just bought the 75W goboman. Hopefully I will have it for next week. For $93 including shipping, and based on Scottie's photos, I'm willing to give it a go!
And, Hank ( RLP ), it will be added in to my new price.... more value for the higher price.

Here is what I use: Staples Transparency film for ink printers.
And as a special bonus for those here on ourdjtalk only..... here is an attachment for what I make up on word. You should be able too open it, and just change the text for what you want.... leave the black background.
when you cut it out.. I leave about 1/2 inch of clear showing on the top and bottom.. and I shave just a bit of the black of the sides. then it fits just right.... again, a small strip black gaf tap works nicely to hold the slide in place.
Ive contacted the GOBOman and asked him if he was interested in some of my pictures to promote his product on the web or in Vegas. I havent heard back from him yet, but if you all let him know that I was helpful with the purchase... it could work in my favor.... Im trying to get a deal for 10 of these!
