Looks like an interesting Addition to the ETC Family.
Being a big fan and regular user of the Ion and Eos, could be quite a good "small" lighting desk Click Here -------------------- Ben Couch |

There is quite a good review on the Element from our US friends at controlbooth.com it also includes an interview with the ETC controls specialist and approximate list price in USD. It will be costed between the Smartfade ML and the Ion.

Hmmm...300 series replacement anyone? This sounds perfect for our Studio theatre!
Do any of the ETC chaps know if this will be on show at Plasa Focus? -------------------- |

It looks nice, however it is strange that it lacks any encoders for moving lights, however whether you can use a track ball (as per the 300) instead remains to be seen, otherwise it wouldn't be particularly future proof seeing as how everyone uses moving stuff nowadays!

To be fair, it's aimed at smaller places without huge amounts of moving lights etc... If you watch the video at Control Booth (Clicky) you can see how it can still be used for small amounts of automated kit. As the lady says, if you know you will (potentially) need substantial mover support, an Ion or EOS would be more ideal. -------------------- |

Interesting desk, and one that we might look at to replace our aging Express 125. Price will be the decider I suspect.
