what's your opinion?

Are you running the system as well as providing it?

Im a DJ, but only because i want to show off my lights. I only bought speakers to move my lights!

I charge 40 extra for all my lights. I dont have waht you have but i got as of now:

3 Intels
(1 great; 2 bad)As in 1 scan tron and 2 dj scans
10 Par Cans
6 Elipsodles
4 Gobo Projectors
2 Jewels
4 Big Shots
Cant Forget i got a dmx dimmer pack and a Dmx Operator

If i were you i would say 75 an hour, with 25 daller set up charge. Once people know your awsome, raise it too 100-150 an our with the same 25 daller set up charge. With lights, dont make there be a 2 hour minmum. I did one set up for 30 minutes, but charged an hours worth, so i got 50 dallers(40 an hour and 10 for setup). It was for Celebraties in Rancho santa fe and i had to make it so they looked all speacail as they walked 20 feet to their car. It was actually really fun, i would have done it for free!!! WEll thats my opinion.

ellipsoidals! sounds like u running a theatre company!!!lol

btw, in my opinion dj scans aren't necessarily bad, i still think they are decent.remember, every light is better than no light at all.

That's true, the audience most likely won't even notice the difference, they'll think the DJ Scans are supposed to be "jerky".

To me you just cant produce some effects with a dj scan because of there movement.

oh i definately agree w/ u drew, but that doesn't mean they aren't good in their own way. the dj scan is a more simple scanner, therefore it is not gonna compete with higher end scanners such as concept, mighty scan, ultra scan, and other other companies higher end scanners. that, in my opinion, is not its purpose. its purpose is to provide the effect that it gives. that effect is the "jerky" fast moving choppy scanning, and in my opinion that can look pretty kool sometimes, not to mention for an entry level scanner the price is unbeatable, and audiences will still be impressed with it if it is used to its fullest extent. for its purpose and design and for smaller lighting application, the dj scan can still pull through in my opinion.

to us...we notice every detail when it comes to lights and sound and the dj/performer...


but to a 42 year old drunk woman???

or a 37 yr old recently single man??

they wont know the difference between a mighty scan or a dj scan

the dj scan is perfect for what is was made for. dj's. it gives them a cool scanner that they don't have to program and it has a low cost. for those people who want smoother lights with more options (and who are willing to pay for it) thay have the mighty's.

Hardly any one cares about the light unless they are a DJ of some sort.
