Genius are a well made effect, but you could get 12 Imoves for that!

They only look like they've got halogen lamps too, so I can't see much of an advantage tbh.

We have two Mobile Spirals....they suck, I hate them to death, theres nothing ultra special you can do with a 2 channel dmx fixture lol.

As for the other stuff mentioned, I'm afraid i've never heard of it!!

Oh and i thought the mobile spiral was cool....bear in mind i haven't even yet got round to figuring how to programme the bloody thing, but it looks cool to a DMX virgin (Moi) and surly is a great starter model before i get going in the DMX market properly

Actually, come to think of it, I sold a couple of genius scanners on ebay for a collegue of mine, and they were 1200W discharge...

Beasts!

I agree with the others..get some Imoves. Since I got the moving heads I've so many positive comments from guests at events regarding the "braw concert lights" or "smart lights aff the telly"..(their words lol). :D

Come down and I'll give you a demo some evening.

Do you use anything else with yours Shaun?

Some leo and scimitars usually. Although I've been using the roboscans lately (gotta love those discharge lamps)
