In an attempt to speed up the set-up process, I'm constructing 4 verticals, that will remain rigged.

I have a rolling rack to hold them and only need to place them in position, and plug them in. They are controlled by wireless DMX. Set-up time for all 4 is under 5 minutes. Since I'm slowly getting out of the business, I wanted something elegant to finish off the remainder of my gigs.

Acrobats on the side, moving heads on top, and flat panel LED's on the sides. I'm programming a show as we speak... So far, they look amazing. Video from the gig in two weeks...

Wedding next weekend for my wife's sister... so I want to impress the family, but I wanted it simple and fast. Yes, I am installing a DMX reciever on each tower, so I only need to plug into a wall outlet, and away I go. I'll do some video and post later this month. I have 3 weddings left this year.

I AM getting out of the wedding gigs, but am keeping my club gig. I have two guys working for me, so I will only go in to update the music, or pull a shift if they want a night off. I'm too old for the brides now-a-days, who need the hand holding with DIY mentality. I did, however, raise my prices on the web site, just in case someone wants to pay that much... guess I'll do it.
 
Nice work. I spent an afternoon last week doing some maintenance on my two Acrobats (opening them up, cleaning out the dust, and resetting/realigning the gobo wheels). I then took them out to a prom, where they easily covered the dancefloor. After almost 10 years, they're still very capable performers. I'll never sell them.
