DJ Scan changing stepper motors?

The Dj scan doesn't really use a real stepper motor, its actually a controlled servo motor design. Regaurdless of time, they have not made a better servo motor for pan and tilt for the DJ scan. U might think, well ill just put a scan tron motor on there, but the power might not be the same that is sent to the light. Enjoy the fast scan of the DJ scan cause thats all u can get. However there is an option. I recommend selling them. There is a large demand for full package sales on ebay, i bet u could sell the 4 dj scans w/ controller for about 800 if u start with no reserve at $1. Thats what i did, i got more than 1000 too for selling that package. lates. Just buy the new SCAN 250, it has smooth scan plus strobin. which is another feature that the basic dj scan lacks. I think i read somewhere u have 4 dj spots too, just get more of those guys.

the dj scan's were like the first lights I ever got that had dmx. I think i'm going to end up selling them b/c I need fixtures that I can have more control over. Thanks for the advice. -Mike

I am kind of new to purchasing these. My first purchase was the DJ Scan 250. I got two at 149 each. I felt pretty good about it, until I found out just a month later that I should have bought the Scan 250. No comparison... brighter, faster, and much smoother scanning. These are true stepper motors, and from what I can tell, this fixture will be road worthy. Not sure what I am going to do with the DJ scans. I feel kind of stuck with them. It's not that they aren't good lighting, like you say, they are just too slow and inacurate scanning. I guess I can use them on the drums or something like that. For sure, I will use the Scan 250's for front spotting. what an awesome fixture! At the rate American DJ is going, do you think anybody will ever buy par cans and dimmer packs any more?

So I had a chance to take home 6 accu scan 250's to try em out and see what they could really do. I was quite pleased with them. Smooth and fast movements. I like the accu scan's much much better then the scan 250's. anyway just my 2 watts.

They must be pretty sweet then. I am quite pleased with the Scan 250's. I guess my only complaint would be that out of the two I got, one of them is brighter, not much, but a little. Quite a jump in price to anything comparable. If you are on a budget, I think the scan 250's are the choice. Just need to find a buyer for these two DJ scan 250's....
