Mirror ball alternative

Former Member

I'm trying to get the effect of mirror ball reflections on a dance floor with some type of light that I can hang directly over a dancing couple. (This would be for short video takes and I don't want to have to mess with a reall mirror ball and pin light(s)).
The Roto-Gobo looks like a possibility with the right disc. Is there something else that would be a closer match to the large number of light points that come off a mirror ball.
I ONLY need the light pattern rotating on the floor.

Thanks for the reply.
I'd prefer a light that projects ONLY on the floor to avoid distracting light in the bacground. I considered the mini, with possibly some sort of "can" to catch the light coming out the sides and top, but that seemed sort of a waste. I've now found these on the web, but haven't had a chance to see them in operation yet.
American DJ Rotopod
American DJ Scatter Beam
I think the Rotopod is probably what I'm looking for, but the Scatter Beam sounds interesting.
Hope to find both on display. Will try Sam Ash in NYC.

OK, I got ya.

I have a Rotopod. It does give that effect, but it's not as wide as a regular Mirror Ball, or those other effects (SunBeam, etc). It is, however, just on the floor.

Roto Pod Is the way to go. The Roto Pod 250 is brighter than the original Roto Pod keep in mind.
