ADJ Tri Phase/LED Starball with fog

[Steve LeBlanc]

Fuzzy - this might be of interest

I shot a bunch of video last night. Bear in mind this was a fieldhouse....huge and despite what you see...fairly bright....

As you can see - you can literally reach out and touch the beams... I was pleased....

BTW this was a $70 ADJ Fogstorm 700

Gorgeous!!

This light is already on my list, and I plan to get two when I have the funds.

Thanks for the vids!!

Where's my rag?

Fuzzy - it was surreal.......What was neat is how sharp the beams were at slow rotation....

I can only imagine how good the Galaxian 3d would look with fog.....

thanks for posting the videos! how does the light do in sound activated mode? an are you happy with that fogger? i been lookin around for a small mobile fogger........ i believe i may buy that light an fogger for a late B-day present for myself

The light is in sound active/stand alone. The patterns are fantastic. I did program some scenes in my dmx controller; it would take too long and use up too much space to try and duplicate all the patterns....

That being said to use it stand alone you will need the UC3 easy controller. The light has a 6-10second "boot up" so running it straight off a Co Pilot doesn't work well. The Easy controller lets you control sound on-of...speed and black out. That's how I was able to get the light rotating so slow for the slow stuff

The audio response works great....

As for the fog machine.....for 70 bucks you can't go wrong.....We fogged the crap out of this fieldhouse; ran it literally non stop for 2 hours and still had juice in the tank....

Sure a bigger model would have been better... but this worked great.....

I have two starballs. I've always sat them flat on the floor to use like disco/mirror balls for the slow dances. Never thought of putting them on stands and shooting the other way. Which way would you say is better? I always like the "dots/stars" rotating around the ceiling not across them.

I found when I put them flat on the floor, the beams were AWESOME with fog and haze.

Abbey - these are LED starballs...they are only 1/2 a starball so you have to mount them forward....
With my Starball II's I usually hang them upside down or sit them on the floor

are the LED perfect? no......neither were the Starball II's (I find them so bulky and ugly)..the LED version are like 3 pounds and small....easy to carry and mount...
