I've been looking at these before. If I read it right, it's two of these for £120 inc p&p. Half the price of a Dynarock, or Revo Roll. Too good to be true, or is there any other product you would recommend? Thanks for any thoughts folks.

And how do these compare, to say an Impossibled?

And if I were looking for something in that line, that's the one I'd be checking out first Tony. I'm not a big fan of the Impossibled, guess I'm on my own again. :(

Take alook at the American DJ Revo Scan and Revo Roll they are similar and are a branded manufacturer.

Had a laser from GVG.

Absolute rot.

Sticking steppers after about 4 months of occasional use and one of the diodes died not much later. Warranty on the diodes transpired to be just 3 months. Needless to say I won't be going back.

Or particularly 4months!!!!! :eek: Thanks Sir, possible proof that if it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Shame, cos I'd nearly got the credit card out! :D :D Bigger shame I suppose if I'd ordered them before that post. ;) :D

If it helps anyone looking for this kind of effect I've had a pair of Dynarocks since the day the 250W jobbies came out and used at pretty much every gig for a good proportion of the night, and apart from the occasional hoovering out and a bulb change, they've been spot on. Very robust.

Peter, why not have a look at secondhand Dynamos or Dynatwins.

Some of us here have used them for a while--you would need a demo before buying though--wouldnt trust ebay unless theres a money back guarantee-

Excellent machines, with a proven track record, I just have my heart set on LED barrels, as I know I'm going to have to get some LED units, and I don't fancy Impossibleds enough to go taht way. I'm guessing Dynaroll, or Revo Roll, which were my initial choices. It was just that the GVJ were so attractively priced, and they looked the part also. Ah well, keep saving the pennies. :( :(
