Hyper Gem << VS. >> Revo 4

Here is a End users Video on the hyper Gem. It only has one fixture. And I THINK it is going by just sound.

Sincerely,

I know you are a big fan of the Revo 4

What are your thoughts on Hyper Gem
And how it compares to Revo4 ???

chris,

would love to get your opinion on hypergem

I think you're mistaken.

I'm not exactly sure which one the Revo 4 is. As I said previously, I know a band that used a Revo(non LED) and shot it at the audience through heavy fog and that was a freakin' awesome effect and I'd like to do that myself, and if the Revo4 would take care of that, I might be tempted to get one.

As far as the Hyper Gem, I won't voice an opinion. I haven't seen it yet so I have no opinion.

My events are mostly band type events. Festivals, showcases, concerts and things of that nature of my main thing. I am also tied into the "freak show" convention circuit in my area, doing SacAnime, Sac Horror/Sci-Fi, as well as heavily tied into Sac Horror Film Fest and Amber's Sweets. Amber's Sweets is more theater-type stuff. Sac Horror Film Fest is an arts festival based around horror and horror-themed films. Sac Horror Sci-Fi is run by the folks who do SacAnime, and the Sac Horror Sci-Fi is as it sounds: stuff based on horror and sci-fi. SacAnime is all things anime, and for that event, there is a rave that has expanded to 2 nights. That event would work well with the Revo4, and probably most of the lights you are using. I'm sure stuff like the Jellyfish and even the Hyper Gem would fit in.

The thing is, ravers don't want lots of light out there. They wand their darkness, glow sticks and finger lights, as well as other folks who bring in LED light-up toys and other stuff. I myself and trying to design a trading pin that lights up for this event to sell. For me, it makes no business sense to invest money into lights just for these raves. I got some traditional high-tech FX that can serve the task just fine.

As far as lights I'm interested in purchased, should finding allow:

Jingles has been talking to me about some new movers to replace the ones I have. New movers would definately be a nice addition.

8-16 LED wash lights from Elation. Either 16 Opti Tri pars, or more likely 8 opti Tri Pars and 8 RGB Zooms.

4 Profile Panels.

A second Opto Branch/4

For the work I do, because I'm not a DJ, these lights make much more sense.

I do have older hi-tech FX that serve other needs, although these days, that need appears to be "sit in my truck and take up space" since they are rarely used:

Sunray III
Mystic
Vertigo
Electra(not the II or 250, but the older one!)
Rover
Barrel Flex
Reflex
Trilogy
Double Twist

I also have a set of gel-colored Par36 pin spots, an 8" mirror ball and an ADJ mirror ball motor.

I also have 32 ADJ Par38's that I'd love to sell off and use towards something else. But the resale on these is almost nill.

OK

so i DID IT !!!

i ordered 1 Hyper Gem and got it at a RIDICULOUS low price, new :-)

i want to add this to my 1 stand which now has 4 lights on the T-Bar, 2xRevo rave (on ends), revo4 & galaxian 3D between

was thinking of mounting this on ABOVE side of T-Bar, smack in the middle, upside down as that's where bracket would allow

i'll be using it to shoot out to dancefloor, over crowd, or backdrop (wall behind me), depending on venue

how do i go about doing this?
is easiest way to get O-Clip, and mount slightly to 1 side of bar, would love it center mount it between my revo4 and galaxian (but above)

thanks, i can't wait to try it out

Sounds like a winning combination of lights... Can I ask you why you like the Revo Rave over the Revo Burst?

Where did you get the Hyper Gem... I'm getting one myself and would love a good deal too!

All the best,

Tom

tommy

i dont know, many people talked good about the rave

ive only used it twice, in small venue, so light was small as it was not that far from dancefloor

i was between rave and burst

burst is good, no moving parts
different pattern then rave


i hope i like the hypergem

email me and ill tell you more about the deal
this weekend only

musiclee at msn dot com

so here's an AWESOME video of the Hyper Gem

not sure if this is an official ADJ video
as i did not see it on their site

this is how ALL ADJ demo videos should be for ALL lights

show 1 light ONLY

show ALL programs so we can actually see all it can do

do not show 2 or 3 of the lights, which makes them a bit "misleading" IMO :-)

here it is:

That is a Video ADJ shot to show all of the programs. That is a ADJ made video.

james

why not put that great video on the ADJ site for hypergem?

it is way better than what's there now :-)

i'll see if we can add it to the page. I'm sure it is as simple as adding the embed code.

thanks and please encourage more of these type videos,

single light showing ALL patterns

can't wait to get my gem...

I will. And I also will be getting one soon. that and some truss.

So James

I will have a Hyper Gem
First then you.

Next I want fusion tri fx
Or should I wait for the fusion fx bar5 with built in laser?

I know it's coming. ;-)

Please ask ADJ to add sounactive in DMX
I like tri fx and want 2 of em

I'm with you, I think the Fusion Tri FX is a great fixture... I've heard that ADJ is coming out with the Fusion EFX Bar 5... are there any pictures or video of it... you say it will have a laser?... Nice!... I would have bought 2 Tri FX's myself if it had sound-active in DMX...

PS: I understand the Royal Sky laser is only Green and Blue, not RGB... That would make the Hypnotic the best new laser coming out, however, I heard it's street price will be more than twice that of the Galaxian 3D... if that's the case, I might just get the Galaxian 3D instead... does anyone know when the Hypnotic will be available for purchase?...

Tommy

Please email Adj. And tell em that you won't buy them till they make em sound active in DMX
