In my experience, changing your booth to something heavier with no protection to your RX3 from customers would be an expensive mistake. I agree about getting the Gravity stands and speaking from experience these are great. The ADJ Duo moving heads are dated, and I agree should be replaced. Personally, I’d head down the Helix HP moonflower route which is about to be released 150w led which I think will be better than lugging around those plinths.

I use the Gravity speaker stands with the round base. They are more than sturdy for a pair of 12' tops. I have had a pair of 15's on them too and they're fine.

Great vid JP, I too am wanting to change the look of my set up for 22’ and like the booth furniture look, but worry about pissheads & drinks, I do like the protection that the truss booth provides. Intelligent lighting is the way forward for me. Looking forward to the next instalment. 😎

Yes the Truss Booth provides a lot of protection from the idiots, maybe an electric fence is the solution 😂 I’m also looking at the BT Air lights as that might be a solution for me! 😎👍🏻

I have been using the Chauvet wireless DMX system for a while and it works very well and the battery life is very good, I have run mine for about 4 hours at a gig and there was still plenty of life in them as I used them at a 3 hour gig and did not recharge them between and they still ran the whole evening without running out.

I agree about tripod speaker stands looking ugly. My speakers are also pig ugly! The booths look great. Kevin on Mobile DJ Remastered has something similar and all his cables are hidden and he has lots of power to plug things in. Enjoy choosing your new gear - thats always fun!

Hi JP, hope you’re well. Have you considered the equinox contour DJ Screen as a booth? It’s just been released and looks very nice. The only thing about the wooden stand booths is that I’d find it a pain to hide cables etc using one. In terms of moving heads the ADJ focus spot 4z pearl looks very nice. How much you looking for the pocket spot twins? I’m UK based. Thanks

@RealLifeDJ 2 жыл бұрын

Not looked at that one, will check it out! The one I’m looking at has them all the cable internal, I’ll also have a look at the ADJ lights. As much as I can get for the pocket spot twin once I’ve got their replacements 😎👍🏻
