Scan Trons VS. Utopias

Mighty scans would be a step up. What is your budget?

well, mighty scans dont exactly have the gobos im looking for, where on the other hand, scan trons have exactly the gobos that i want to see. But do the scantron strobe is the question??? The unit has 5 channels, pan, tilt, gobo, color. NOw the fifth one is strange, the pdf manual shows that is can strobe, a gobo and a color at the same time, a color strobe, and a gobo strobe. i really dont understand what they are trying to show. Does it mean that it strobes or does it mean that it does not stobe and does another cummy effect like the DJ scans do??? So the real question is, the fifth channel controls 3 stobes? i am confused.

Thats odd.... On the list of intels it describes the scantron as four channels. On the info page it says 5 channels. Im confused.

Welcome Fault! Glad to have you and hope you visit freqently. I know that they Scan Tron have smooth movement but I'm not sure about the strobing. You could check out the Concept 1

Depending on your budget, I would ahve to suggest the AUTO SPOT 150. I just saw them being demoed ata local dealer and they will blow you away!

I'll tell you how the strobing is on my intels that are in the same class as the Scan Trons (I didn't want a removable head, so I bought non-ADJ lights) But anyways, the strobing is not from a separate shutter, it is rather a quick transition back and forth between colors or gobos. You can either do colors, gobos, ar both at once. I assume it is the same with the Scan Trons.

If you want real strobing you gotta go up to an ultra scan... Which are unbelievabliy nice i must say.

Believe me, if i had the money, i would go out and my some studio colors by "highend electronics" but only Disney or Big companies can afford those, i mean i really would take any awsume intellegent light. But my price range per Intel is 350 max, so that includes DJ Scan, Dj Scan/RG, Utopia, and Scan Tron. (i dont like roller effect, sorry to sound like im mad at everything and everyone, but like, i really wish i had 2k to spend on lights, but im 16 without a car.

ALSO, Utopias have Duty Cycles and a combined gobo/color wheel. Given the choice, I'd get Scan Trons.

DJ madness you are mistaken, the Scantron has a separate Shutter. This allows you to strobe with any color gobo combination.

The scantron is a GREAT light. Everyone is amazed when I demo it for them where I work. People keep assuming it's a ****** fixture.

Don't forget, you can take the top over, flip the light over and use it as a color changer. You can also link the scantrons with a rollertron, even without using a DMX controller.

Great package is 2 rollertrons and 2 scantrons.
