Great video I just got my ils comand for the very same reasons. I also taped uv filters over the strobe lights so they strobe uv instead of just white it alos tamed the brightness, so they are not so bright.

Thanks for the thorough review! A lot more than what they have out there. I’ve been using mine for about 3 months and the casing already ripped. Also a major issue I have is every time I plug it in it asks to insert usb stick and won’t work accurately. It this like a need to update firmware thing? I have to unplug and plug numerous times until it randomly works

Do you know if Chauvet has addressed any of the issues you pointed out since you published this review? Looks like it was 9 months ago. I have a Chauvet Gigbar 2.0 and am considering upgrading to this unit, and a command to have a bit better control. I hate not being able to easily navigate to a white wash or something in the middle of a wedding reception dance etc. Nice review! Thanks. 👍

Dude...when you do get into DMX it's going to fit your sets SO MUCH BETTER! I think for you you should think about doing something like 4 Intimidator Spot 260s on totems, and then a 4 bar quad ILS behind you...Plus I think you can then get a stronger laser to put as your centerpiece, PLUS if you want to stronger derbies.

I ended up trading my ILS Command for the WMX1 right after I made this video actually :) not sure I can afford new lights yet though, pretty pricey once you get out of the Gigbar realm.

Helpful video! Any feedback on the WMX1 with the Move? How does it compare to the Command so far?
@tarekith10 ай бұрын
@@amax92 I plan on doing a video review here shortly, but briefly the WMX1 gives you a little more control over the strobes, moving heads, and pars, but a little less control over the laser and overall colors available to all the fixtures. Mainly due to Chauvet not opening up all the Gigbar functionality to their DMX Spec.

I have this gigbar and ils command, and also a gigbar2...would you recommend using both to ensure good coverage, particularly if I set up one of them behind me? Also if I just a small amt of fog from my machine in front of gigbar I place behind me, will the fog stay in place for the most part, or will it blanket the room no matter how little I dispense?
@tarekith8 ай бұрын
Nothing wrong with using both Gigbars, but I don't think the ILS command will work with the Gigbar 2, only the gigbar move + ILS. Fog/haze tends to dissipate pretty quickly once in the air, so a little bit will fade away pretty quickly and you'll need to introduce more over time. In my experience it tends to slowly blanket whatever space it's in, though with most haze machines today it doesn't smell bad or anything that might bother an audience.
