Those giving the Chavet a bunch of flack are the people looking to justify the obscene amount of money they chose to pay for the vast amount of other options. You said it best. Dude, it's lights!! If the music is bangin' and the drinks are flowing then the venue is a success. No one ever left a wedding saying "wow, the DJ lighting sucked". LOL!!

I’ve never enjoyed hear reviews. But this is entertaining. And now I want one.

Thank you very much, Sir. This is the absolute best review I've seen on this product. Quick, to the point and you covered everything.

I’ve had my gigbar move for about a year now and I love it. Just got the myDMXgo and I’m deeper in love now!

We have a Gigbar Move, and control it using ADJ’s MyDMX Buddy and MyDMX 3. Everything works great! We have total control over the lights, and they provide an excellent lighting option for, as another commenter said, small to medium sized venues.

Thanks for the video! Will love to see one explaining your soundswitch setup.. I have the soundswitch & wireless dongles but have not used soundswitch

Thank you for the review. I am planning to buy it but wanted to see the ease of use. Your review is great. Will be picking up 2 of these. Thank you

We're a duet that works with a backing track in small venues and then we do a DJ set after we're done playing & singing; we're looking for a good lighting set-up that's not going to take us an age to set up after we've gone the sound 🤪 This could work well for us - thanks for the details 👍

good review, useful product for lighting small bars or bedrooms

I have the gigbar 2 and I like it a lot currently I’m thinking about moving on from those and getting the gigbar move This video was very helpful

Bought a pair of these to replace a pair of Chauvet 4play with a sweeper & storm mounted to the top on each. With the GB move, everything is much cleaner. Quick setup and teardown. The custom case makes transport an ease without worry. Cable management is almost a dream. Using wireless DMX so the only cable is power. Used the foot switch for the 1st year with them in M/S mode. Worked well but the sound mode was a bit touchy. Attempted to program with ShowXpress, very rough & time consuming. Recently brought in Sound Switch and OMG! Perfectly synchronized light shows with our entire archive. We aim the Lazer & derbys up off the dancefloor, careful not to hit anyone in the eyes. Venues with light colored walls and ceilings really showcases these well. Haze makes them even better. Solid lights & reasonable price for what you get all in 1 neat/clean package. Highly recommend.

Dope review man. Entertaining, keep crushing!

First video and the “it’s a F*n light” got you a new sub lol 👍🏻 great video straight to the point

Great review!!! Honest....I LIKE IT

Thanks for your review! I used to DJ weddings and events a lot back in the 90s! I'm a musician at heart and right now I do solo shows and two piece band and three piece band situations I'm thinking this light bar would be good for behind the drummer lighting up just the band area as we play listening rooms basically not much dancing.. I have a 4 bar flex still works and I use it every show I don't believe it's compatible.. anyhow that usually goes on the ground in front of me pointing up and set on an automatic slow fade type of setting I guess. But I do believe your review sold me and I appreciate it!

Thanks for the review. I'm looking at getting one to replace my chauvet (original) 4bar LED, mini kinta, lasers, and cubix 2.0, and ADJ colorburst 8 DMX. Right now, i require 2 bars, one for the chauvet, and one for the other lights, and tons of wires, and cables for DMX. I want to simplify. I think this would be a great replacement, especially since it does UV, as well as white strobe, along with moving heads. I do more parties where they want moving lights/strobing/party mode, so I think this will fit perfectly. I will keep my older stuff for weddings still, as it's easier to use independent lights for weddings, but i don't do many of those (1-2 a year).

I love mine and never had a client, guest, or even a photographer complain about it!

I love these lights I have other lights as well and I have 2 gig at moves… these are so easy and fast if the client wants more lighting then I can use my washfx but I live these lights.

I have a gigbar 2.0. I actually do use the "fade" mostly. It does work for me. I just hit the "fade" button on the remote and then immediately turn the "strobes" off by hitting the "strobe" button a couple of times. It slowly goes through all the colors and looks great with a light Haze. I do try to always use haze unless they tell me not too. I have only set off one smoke detector and I've been Djing for 16 years. A friend of mine has two Gigbar 2.0's and I have borrowed his and daisy chained them all together using XLR cables and man they look awesome. I have been thinking about stepping up to the new Gigbar Move but I'm just not sure I want the mover lights going all over the place. At least with the derby's you can point them at the dance floor and they look incredible with haze. By the way "beware" the pole socket is just tack welded on and mine completely broke off the other night and I am very careful with my equipment. Not sure how I'm gonna fix it.. Thanks for the video.

I use a gigbaf 2.....for weddiings...and everything else...1 minute setup...i basically just use blackout to turn it off and on....love it! Case is not bad..., tripod and remotes included...djs are masochistic..and need to haul around tons of crap.

The gigbar is the best! Rocks the dance floor and have never had a bad review in 4 years! The gigbar move looks great!!!

Nice review! I would say to keep any dance light off until the dance floor opens.

I just bought a new Move today, looking forward to using it this weekend with my Gig Bar 2. Have you tried linking the light bars together? With 2, and a set of 4 wash lights, it really puts out enough light to do any dance!

Just ordered 2 of them, as you I am fed up with spending all the time for setting up a lightshow. The only thing I will add is my 2 Spectra 3D lasers (I wil discconect the lasers on the Gigbar Move). I tried out the Spectra 3D lasers with Soundswitch and they work just fine and do what I want them to do :-) Thx for the review, made me decide to buy 2 of them. A pitty I need to wait 2 tot 3 weeks cause here they are sold out! And I own 2 sets of 4 Freedomsticks also, very nice for setting up the room :-

What a fun paced, entertaining, review! Other djs take note please!

Hahahaha we have Dotson that cracked me up

Great review. I really like the design of the bar with the internal wiring (and that they offer it in white). Would it be possible to remove the movers and replace with additional pars (like the two in the middle) on the ends?

Great video. Im sixk of dmx programs and thr b.s. so i got this. Subbed!😊

Thanks for the review. I use the 2 gig bar moves (along with other wash lights for a live band situation). Does the gig bar move offer wireless option for the bar to communicate with an iPad (using My DMX Go App) to build scenes or does it require a DMX connector of some kind? I would like to build a few basic scenes for our show that I can control with the IR or foot pedal. Any help is appreciated!!

Fade mode does work on the GigBar 2 at least, and it's the mode that I use more often. I bet it works on this one too. But for whatever dumb reason, it also turns on the strobe lights. So I press, in this order: FADE, STROBE and STROBE again to turn off the strobe. Oh, and I have removed the laser. I hate the laser. I am also this close to taping up the strobes. Awesome video, bro. I see the moving heads effect, and I am very unimpressed. Not going for the upgrade. Thank you!

thanks king. subscribed

Great entertaining review but I don't think the gig bar is my thing. I wanted so much to like it but not a fan. I prefer my lights to have a little more presence

This looks prety cool. I'm not a DJ but I'm a student in college and we throw a few parties at my house and we've been using Philips hue to sync the lights to the music. And we have some cheap $30 laser lights from amazon for some effects. Do you think we should get this if we're just gonna be throwing parties and wanna add a nice vibe to our place? because this seems to just sync with the music automatically and just add a sick vibe to the whole party

Nice review! Can you do custom Gobos with the moving heads?

Can you setup scenes via DMX with these? Like putting the different type of lights on different channels to get get real specific about your scenes?

Just bought a gigbar move here in nz after watching the review. Its great but have an issue with the one i got, the cables for the derbys are not that long. I cant tilt them to 90degress down like in your video. The most they tilt is maybe 30-35degrees from the upright position out of the case. The cable is wierdly short. Wondering if a defect.

lol....my brother! great video.

So much hate on these... no idea why.. While I will agree the zipper on the case broke really fast.. I have used these on so many weddings now and I get tons of compliments. As a wedding DJ my job is music... the lights get turned on once open dancing happens. Before that... there is too much going on and lights havent been necessary at all. Once the lights turn on I set the lights to auto. Dont even need to have it on sound unless you really want it to go crazy. For those saying its not bright enough.. once its open dance... best to turn all other lights down anyway.. few people want to go out and dance with full bright lights.. so it doesnt need to be any brighter. Also, no one is looking at the design on the movers saying... wow.. thats tacky... they are looking at the lights and going hey.. look at that.. its got a design and moves... To sum it up.. this works great.. I have 4 of these and have had zero issue... I wouldnt even say they are loud since they are only ever going when music is playing.. all in all.. definitely recommend whether its for parties or weddings.

I add these as standard lighting for weddings. But, they can always upgrade at an additional cost.

When in sound mode, can you turn off particular lights? For example sound mode enabled, with just the movers? Also can you adjust the “craziness” level on sound mode for more relaxed vibes? Trying to figure out whether I can use this without dmx or whether I should just go all out..

I have 2 of them and I can’t wait to SELL them. Movers need to be brighter. They need to make a better version of this. I definitely like it for small gigs but not for weddings. Ps side note screw what the photographers want. I’ve been doing this for 23 years and never had a issue with a photographer and my lights. Great video by the way

I’m thinking when you’re in auto or sound mode, the other pedals (also on remotes) can control the crazy speed.. (I don’t have one in front of me or if clarify

So far I’m impressed with the latest model the Gigbar ILS…it’s pretty much what the first gigbar should of been. Also seen a few videos where the DJ just has a gigbar set up and no other lighting like it’s supposed to cover an entire gymnasium or something. With about 12 uplights I’m sure any model Gigbar would be a great filler.

Got mine for $680 total When it first came out last year for $880 Bought in January 2020 It's still in the shipping box strapped and unopened Wonder when I'll open it up and use it

Ho Aaron. I have a gigbar move. I just bought a adj dmx. Playing with it and all. But I unhooked it and went back to using my remote. And now my remote doesn't work. I switched it back to auto and it still doesn't work. Do you have an answer for me? Thanks

quite interesting... let's keep the DMX on

I see ur still replying to comments over a year later. Awesome. I have the Gigbar 2 and can never the the foot switch to do anything I want. I have just learned of the ADJ MyDMX Go. I saw another commenter saying they have it with their gigbar and it works great. I'm not sure if what I'm looking for exists but would be nice if the MyDMX would be able to listen to the sound and on my cue if i wanted to go into different lighting modes like soft to rave type or even better if there was a library of user uploaded lighting patterns for it. just need an easy way for it to more or less to intelligent lighting effects with minimal human interaction.

Can you turn the strobes off altogether? I NEVER use strobes because of potential health issues with guests

I have a wedding this Friday . All comment under how these babys roll . so far I’m hyped to see results

If this has nothing but dope ass lasers on it, it would be called the legend bar

I Love the gig bar idea but hate the derby and laser, I would trade the Derby for two similar Wash fx hex the laser I can live with

Just got mine! Just wondered if u knew How to turn on The strobes? And fast strobes aswell? 😄

Nice review how high does the stand go? I’m like 6’2 would like this to go at least 7-8 feet high above me?

He said "going down the pole" 🤭

Are these bright enough to use with smoke machine?

Have you done any deep dmx programming with serato or rekordbox? Wondering if this might be a good system to help learn how to automate something.

Hey! How do you think this would go in a hall?

I can't seem to find info. on the max height this rig will go without being a top heavy mess?

I Dj many weddings and I had looked into this option. Unfortunately, it’s honestly not a great fit for Wedding events. A backyard party, sure. It’s easier sure, but having lasers and moon flowers at a wedding is a waste of money. It’s tacky and ugly in photos that family would like to take. Personally, I’d recommend a wash fx light. Way better and brighter. Want moving heads, there are less expensive options out there and, with totems, it looks nicer and elegant.

What is the best setting to have it on automix

just picked mine up, and i see how its a disappointment without the dmx controller.. its like having the wacky inflatable arm man but with lights.

" I learnt my lesson!...."

Friends don’t let friend use gigbars lmaooooooo 😂

Man. I should have just bought a couple of these instead of the truss and all the lights I have now. It would have been so much simpler.

🦖 Yes! Jurassic Park! Ps... I’m just here for the funny comments and the movie references.

Uplighting is the trend at wedding receptions. No need for fog machine

Good tube, thanks, I have the move and Gigbar 2 with plans on getting a second Move for master/slave. The move is supposed to have Totem Mode according to the advertisement. Totem mode would be great as the lights should be on the dancefloor. Have you figured out how to get it on totem mode? Instructions are not clear and I haven't seen any tubes yet on how to do this.

R these bright enough to use with smoke machine?

is it possible to get rid of the goofy ass flowers ?

are all lights rgbw and not rgb?

its alright for the bin

U got me subscribed at the its a fucking light 😂

Hello there 2sets link together master slave on 1 controller ?

Gig bar is cool but the Jmaz Versa Flex is better but not for every wedding

Yo pienso que esta sobre precio, jmaz tienen una mucho más brillante.

Can you spotlight the entrance with those moving heads.

Thanks for the review Aaron. In my humble opinion I think it looks tacky #af. It's so 80s looking all it needs is a mullet and a Casio calculator watch. Tripods are an accident waiting to happen with drunk guests. But just the look of it makes me cringe.

Swear u just did my cousins wedding in Minnesota June 8 2024

Good: Its kind of compact Bad: If you drop it, its $879 worth of junk

Not a good light for wedding can’t make pars stationary

Anybody else getting nauseous !!!!

BTW, the Chauvet cases are awful and will eventually fall apart.

absolutely not. Parties yes all day, set it and forget it.

This is a party type light. I would not be using this for wedding gigs

those are awful

Gig bar move the single worst piece of equipment I ever had - dotz better gig bar 2 is better - this was pap - flawed movers weak ass rubbish effect and the plus point of the gig bar 2 or the dotz that you could add fixtures to was that ease of set up n pull down and the fact you did not need to DMX which you actually do need to do with the gig bar move.
