Looks like a vertigo, or Mushroom, Chauvet DJ Bank and a Starball.....

The only think about the 4 play Karl is that it (the effect) gets old quick...imho..it's dots with really no dynamic movement at all....

I think you'd be better of buying something like a Tri Phase or Swarm....then getting another effect....
 
Steve with all respect. It is a great fill light and I have in most cases used it to make chandeliers act as lights by shining them on the fixture. Neon light banks and such which has lit up the room with effects unexpected. Creativity has shown the light to have grat flexibility asides the straight ahead setting which might seem boring. They are adjustable up down side to side etc. Add on the 4 Play and you have the Vue type effects also adjustable. Its a very economical option versus the High Beams ideas given. Also the easy setup is an additional bonus. Considering some of the challenging setups you have shown us being able to relocate lighting around and over tables etc would certainly be an attractive option as well with the multi adjustable units.

See the Red portion and I addressed this as a complete unit. Not sure if you saw the video on the 4play but it has that Vue type idea. Though you can adjust it in some cases where a room might be more difficult for a fixed unit.

Who does it get old to? The DJ or the completely different wedding guests I do every week. I don't care if it gets boring to me, What I have now is boring but like I have said, I am not a big light guy.

What this set of 8 lights does is tons more than what I have now.
 
Karl...I've seen the two lights together over the Thanksgiving Holiday. The 4-Play slips over the top of the light stand before adding the 4-bar strip on top. Sure looks quick and easy. To me it would be ideal for those small setup areas and dance floors.

Send Kat an email price request. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with the price. I will be ordering mine yet this month (December).

Last month, 30th November, I ordered a Rock-n-Roller Kart (RR12) with 4 pneumatic tires from Ben/Kat and I believe the price to be very generous off the normal Guitar Center or other Pro Audio shops that were selling it. Now if it gets here before Wednesday, next week, I'll be doubly amazed. :)

As an afterthought does anybody have experience or opinion of the Revo 4 and how it compares to the Vue III's?
 
Thanks Art, I have contacted Ben and he gave me a good price. I will be placing my order soon.
 
Karl, I purchased both lights.

I love the 4Bar for the fast set up and the programs with and without DMX.

However, I stopped using the 4Play because the lights were not bright enough. When I aimed the light on the floor or ceiling it was hard to see. Instead of using the 4Play I find that the Chauvet VUIII does a better job for patterns and brightness.

I suggest before you buy the 4Play to check it out and see if it works the way you think it does and fits into your show.

The 4Bar on the other hand is the light to use. Besides the above points it can be aimed in different directions and is very light to carry. Plus it comes with a stand, foot control and hard case. I've stopped using my light trees for wash and just use this one light for wash and chase FX.
 
Karl - I have an ESC Zipper; it's a clone of the ADJ Megapixel and color strip. They're $179 bucks...and is smaller and brighter than the 4 Bar....has great sound active programs plus you can hang it on a T Bar which I presume you have... The 4 Bar is $350+

add an ADJ Quad Phase or Revo 4...you're at the same price as the 4 Bar with much more than the 4 Bar/4 Play combo...so you don't get a bag or a foot pedal....

just my opinion...
 
Karl before buying anything find out if you can use fog/haze/smoke in most of your halls. Most of the new LED lights give little effect when you can't use the fog or haze. You only end up with big colour dots. (My wish list is a light that has the fog beams build into the light, but one which the smoke alarms can't pick up.)

When we get a demo of the new lights in the stores they ALWAYS turn on the "smoke". However in most of my applications this is not the true picture, since fog/haze/smoke are banned in halls in this area.

I suggest if you want to go simple, easy and fast go with the 4Bar and an ADJ Starball. All DMX controlled.
 
That's why I recommend the tri/Quad phase....It's a very dynamic light. It moves nicely; from slow to fast; clockwisw/counter clockwise. You can slow it to a crawl for a mirror ball effect. With fog/haze it looks amazing. It fills a eoom/dancefloor....

With the Quad phase you wouldn't need the Starball

The catch is anymore, the new smoke alarm systems are laser grids that pick up particles in the air, not even hazers are immune to setting those off.

Yes,

The 4-Play mounts under the 4-Bar & it's an all-in-one lighting system.


Keith,

Thank you for posting the pic from my wedding a couple of weeks ago. This was the first time I used this setup since getting it in AC.

All told, you should be able to get both pieces for around $538.....

Since this photo was taken, I'm using this as our "Basic Lighting package". Takes around 5 minutes, if that to set up. I'll take it a step further and dress the pole/base with a DJ skirt/pole combination. Just makes it a little neater, IMHO. Thinking about a Scrim King to see what that would do for the look.


Cheers,

Joe

Joe, do you feel that this Combo is enough to fill out a dance floor at a wedding or party by itself. I am really interested in these if they work good.
Thanks.
