Maybe I am being silly but I bought 2 of the baove lights but it seems like one is back to front. I can't get them to point the same way without turning the unit back to front. Am I mad ?

perhaps one of the unit's pan or tilt is reversed?

Sincerely,
Thatnks for that. I am back in business. My next issue is that I can't get the lights to go in the opposite direction. ie in slave mode.
So, you want the lights to work in reverse, but earlier you want them to move same.....
I don't know. Check your pan and tilt settings first. Ensure they match on both. Then deal with the second issue.
Typically, in slave mode, it is "Slave does what master does", but some intels/movers also allow for the slaves on a per slave basis(because it's set on the slave) to alter a setting.
Typically, the up/down(tilt) tends to stay the same, while pan(L/R) will be opposite. So, first ensure the lights match up first with ALL their settings. See if it works. If so, then go to the slave and reverse the pan setting and see if that gets you going in the right direction.

Chris, I want the lights to go the same which I now have done, but when I put it in to slave 1 or 2 it makes no difference. When I select SL1 on the Slave unit they are supposes to mirror each other and when I select SL2 they are supposed to mirror each other but with contrasting movement.
All the settings seem to be right on the units

Maybe S1 means "same" and S2 means "mirror".
Let me interpret this as:
Any slaves in S1 mode will follow the master. Any slaves in S2 mode will "mirror" the movements of the master. So, assuming I am right(and don't assume I am), you should be able to mix S1 and S2 settings between your master to the slaves to get the desired results. Or: not everything should be set the same.
(Still don't have Acrobat on this machine, it's not a priority right now. Sorry if I can't download and read a manual, must dedicate this machine soley to the video editing project I am working on for the moment.)
