Clearly that's an inaccurate statement, as mentioned, I'm not raving about it...
Noe thats what i call a proper hazer.

It was my first ever BPM and I did come away wondering why they can't split it down just a little bit further, i.e. separate the mobile and install stuff.
An awful lot of the lighting was clearly aimed at installations (hence the X-Factor type trussing all over the ceilings). Some of the moving heads were akin to medieval cannons in size and when I asked about the price of the laser that was projecting across the room I nearly had a heart attack! It would have maybe been nice for some of the kit to be set up in a more realistic mobile situation (i.e. on an "average" sized mobile rig).
Just about every lighting stand had haze going, which really brought out the best in the lights. It's a shame the manufacturers can't bring out some sort of haze which could potentially be used anywhere without setting of alarms.
Got to admit though....by the end of Monday when I left my throat felt like I'd inhaled a heck of a lot of haze
Buy a Phantom Hazer problem solved,but the cost ouch!It was my first ever BPM and I did come away wondering why they can't split it down just a little bit further, i.e. separate the mobile and install stuff.

Out of interest, do venues that traditionally NOT allow smoke machines/hazers allow a phantom hazer? Does it not set of smoke alarms, or does it get treated the same way as any other smoke machine?
Most venues which already disallow smoke & haze will not change their minds on the say so of a DJ who rocks up with a different kind of haze machine.
You can protest that the particle size is 100 times smaller all you like but all it means is it takes more of it to trigger an optical detector. It's more than their job's worth to bend their own rules so they don't.
The more enlightened venues disable zones where it's possible but how many of those are there?
With regard to BPM, the majority of hazing I saw was from fazers - smoke machines with big fans. Even ADJs new machine seems to be one of those & the ones in the Chauvet arena appeared to be working on the same principle.
And all the power shuts of at EXACTLY the appointed finish time, with the house lights coming on full. Then you have 10 minutes to pack up and leave, with a 138 year old caretaker tut tutting everytime he thinks you are not going fast enough.
Add to that the fact that everybody who asks for music is leaving in 5 minutes, or throws a strop when something they don't like comes on
It's only an 8 hour day but all the staff are given 20 hour playlists to get through. Oh & during loadin & loadout it's absolutely mashing it down. The rest of the time it's lovely outside & that's where everyone goes.
