I've got a HUGE collection of lighting and just pull out whatever I get the urge for or what works best for the facility. I like to have optons because I get bored doing the same ole' setup all the time.
Revo 4 or Revo Burst?
- Thread starter Patrick
- Start date
I have 3 of the Revo 4 units. They strike me as weak and don't cover a lot of area. Most of the time I end up using 4 scanners, 1 vue6 and 1 triphase. I got out a single revo4 last week and it just got lost.
If you use it on a dance floor filled with people it will get lost. On a flat white ceiling or wall it looks awesome.
ok, I am leaning towards a vue 3 to use just for the ceiling....the light is extremely big and I am thinking about putting it on the ground and just having it angled up....would this work?
Yes, we actually sit ours on our 4' table. How do you plan to control the light?
Here is a little pic while we were setting up.
Pat - The Vue 3 works best with sound active......I tried to program mine with DMX...It's cool because you could isolate colours and patterns; you could never replicate the sound active mode; the pattern is just too complex. The only part I disliked was the strobe effect; that's not long at all. I used mine just running of a co pilot...You could plug a UC3 controller (or Chauvets equivalent into it).
With a O clamp you can secure it to either a leg of the tripod or just above the collar

I wasn't aware that Chauvet had a UC3-like controller? I don't see that option on the back of the Vue 3. That's a reason I choose to go with ADJ lighting since I like the UC3 controller that allows you to cycle thru programs, including a seperate button for strobe.
They do ( or did) I'm using it on my Tri Phase (the chauvet unit)....It came with my Insignia Barrel scanners..
Randy - you are correct; you cannot use a controller on them other than a dmx controller or pc based dmx (They do have a ShowExpress profile)

Randy - I'm sure the UC3 will work in the Chauvet fixture. The Chauvet CA-9 works in an ADJ fixture
I think you'd like the ADJ unit better, just for the additional controls that you can have with the UC3 controller. You can turn it and off easily without having another switched outlet, access to a variety of the built-in programs/scenes, use strobe on the fly .... just alot more versatile.
The Manual lists it as an option.

And, the video does as well.
Randy you have to explain to some people that not everything comes off the shelf. There are options available for others. LOL. They get confused when something is not in the box.
Right again.......@ someone else..........I least I'm realistic about what's custom and what's off the shelf, unlike some who think they wield this ungodly power with multi-national company's and think somehow, they're special.
Also, i can admit when I'm wrong....:tricool:
The decision has been made, it will be the Vue 3....this is just the start of redoing our lighting and most likely will pick up one of the others mentioned in this thread by the end of the year
