I think Corabar Steve uses them and he says they're good value.

I had the barrels at one stage and they were also very good and at £99, a bargain.

I use 6,

Leo...Scim...Leo................Leo...Scim...Leo. Amounst others,

I'm very pleased with them.

The CA-8 controller does seem more sensitive than the CA-6 and less time on open Gobo.

I personally think either 2 scanners and 2 barrels or 4 scanners would look good.

We've got 4, they always go out as a set. Sometimes I invert 2, sometimes all run the same. (depending on mood or venue the flick of a dip switch sorts it) nice effect.

What a .... interesting system! Not much help for the members when giving advice though. Any fixture of effect that has DMX control is consider inteligent because it does as it's told (by the means of plugin' an xlr up it's backside and feeding it some volts) :D

To be fair though, he did say it was just his system.

I use 4 of these too, alongside 4 of the scimiters. I like my Leo's so much that I kept hold of them and sold my Martin Roboscans.

Great value effect.

The compact size of the Leo's is one of my favourite features. Seems to be a lot of HUGE lighting being released lately. Quite a lot of DJs have limited vehicle space so more compact units would be better, yet they seem to be made larger and larger these days. I think the more compact units look neater too.


MANUFACTURERS.....Smaller please !!!! :)

The strange thing is, if you take the front off a lot of the Isolution stuff, there's a lot of space inside!
