Hi Everyone,
I don't know whether this in the correct place (admin, feel free to move it)
I am looking at buying the ACME Dynamo 100W Scanners (set of 4)
What do you think of them and should I go for them? If so, does anyone know where i'd get the best value for money?
Cheers,
SJS

I have got 4 of them and they are great little units, especially when you link them togeather. Just do a google search and look around for the cheapest deals. Most packages will include DMX leads and also a CA-8 Controller.
By the way (I've never said this one before!), you're better off saying hello in the Newbies section before jumping straight in.

Hi,
Thanks for that.

P.S. I have said hello, about 7 months ago when I joined :)

Think Gary spotted your age as 1 and not your post count :)

They are great little lights. However i would recommend getting a dmx controller as the sound-to-light is a bit manic. :)

Hi guys,
I already have a Chauvet Stage Designer (16), this should be more than adequate, do you think?

SJS, My apologies....as noted already, I confused the age thing with post count. No offence.

Try looking at the dynatwins

Compact and easy to set up, used in bursts quite effective.
Dont leave them on in Grannys face at the Wedding Reception;)

Hmm.....that Dynatwin looks pretty good, but does it have the same functions as the Dynamo's.
I've just seen a video of the Dyntwin in action and it has a LED pattern - aaagh!

Main problem i found with these is the mirror breaks if not cared for properly. they are also heavy for size.
You can get four lights and tbar here: http://www.djanddiscostuff.com/prodpage.asp?prodid=1527
You can probably get them cheaper elsewhere, but ask for a CA8 and leads included for same cost and upgrade t bar to winch one.
I would personally go for two dyna twins and try to blag a carry case for them too. much better. Brilliant lights. i regret selling mine

OK cheers,
I have a Rhino 4ft Deck stand which has most lights on, but in big venues I use a truss (http://www.djstore.com/item/stands/sky180605.htm) which I put behind me, which I am hoping to put these new scanners on.
I already have a set of 3 x Chauvet Omega II Scanners, but I want to go with ACME instead
