Hi all, I am involved in a school production of The Wizard of Oz and have been asked to make some scenery fly away. We don't have much height above the lighting rig and this would only be some very small, lightweight hardboard flats. I don't really want to involve children pulling on lots of ropes and string to make it work and have been looking at hoists or something similar to use instead. Could anyone point me in the right direction of a mains powered hoist which I could plug directly into my DMX controlled switch pack? This isn't the exact thing I need but I basically want a hoist without the remote control - screwfix Thank you! ** Edit ** Ah, thanks. I understand the safety concerns of DMX but loading limits won’t be a problem - it’s simply a 2ft square board that needs to be lowered and then disappear. If I keep the line short it won’t be able to drop below the maximum length which will still be 8-10ft above the stage floor. I was hoping to just have a dedicated 6 channel controller on the stage as well so someone can operate it within eyesight. The hoists as linked above only have a very short remote control so won’t be good enough.
