Bryson Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Indeed...followspot means many things, from this:http://homepage.mac.com/bryson430/.Public/tiny%20followspot.jpgto:http://homepage.mac.com/bryson430/.Public/supertrouper.jpg And many things inbetween... EDIT: I couldn't find the pic before, I meant the first one to be:http://homepage.mac.com/bryson430/.Public/patt23n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 And the few venues in Southend have them already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody74 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 "Two extra" assumes you are adding to existing followspots? I'd guess they'd have to match, so knowing what you have to match to is a good starting point. dimmers included with them. Are you meaning the electronic ballasts for an arc lamp, or are you looking to put an incandescent followspot into a portable dimmer and control intensity via DMX from a console?

casper Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Venue is Southend High for Boys, existing follow spot is very old and pretty ancient looking, but the first pic above is closer to the requirements. from the position to the stage is max 30m and they need a simple dimmer so the spot is entirely controlled by the operator cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Your profile says that you work at the Cliffs Pavilion. If that's the case, I'm sure the guys there will be able to point you towards some local hire companies. What about DPL? They're just up the road from you.
