Nice Product, Confusing Shopping
I own an event lighting company. I was excited for a compact, battery powered gobo projector and ordered one to test. The website has a variety of packages but doesn't say what's included with any of them. I tried to rely on the photos, but apparently the lens/shutter combo wasn't included with my package even though it was clearly shown in the picture. Overall the product is nice, but has some perplexing design choices. Here's a brief list of likes and dislikes: Likes: -- even field though there is some light bleed on the narrow end of the zoom. -- nice zoom range -- great brightness -- feels solid in hand -- the plastic gobos in the silicone snoot are soft focus but usable for texture/break-ups. Plastic gobos will be easy for me to make with my CO2 laser cutter. -- can run full power from USBC (according to spec, I haven't tested) -- easy mounting options with 1/4" thread receiver in body. Dislikes: -- only 5 colors. I don't understand why they did 5 separate COB for each color instead of one chip with color control. Maybe for flicker? -- dimming knob is clunky. Light flashes a couple times when you get to the end of the dimming curve on each side. would make it impossible to fade in or out for video. -- no remote control -- as mentioned above, incomplete descriptions on website. My shipment took over a month without explanation. there was an approximate date on my account eventually but it arrived about a week after that. Still on the fence about whether I'll be buying more for my inventory. I will need to test the gobo/shutter lens add on. Overall it's a good light for the money.
