Trunker Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, I have 2 Strand Canata 26/44 atm and I am hoping another pair will come up relitivley cheap (but in good nick) soon so I can buy them into my stock. The question is, does anyone know of a good quality scroller that will fit these lanterns, 2nd hand or new? I have got a show coming up next year for a school that hires off me and knowing the Drama teacher she will want 4x the amount of colours to the ratio of lanterns. So having 4 Cantata's with Scrollers will obviously help me in my LX design. Unless anyone else has any other ideas, other than telling her the obvious which is 'you have used your 48+ channels so you can't have any more'.

Big Jay Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Stage Electrics do the CHROMA Q Scrollers which states that they have the plate for CANTATA. Stage Electrics Click on Hire, Moving Light/Colour Changers then on Colour Scrollers and then Chroma Q. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Rainbow 8" Pro scrollers go into Cantatas - we use them on our Cantata PCs quite a lot. A little tricky to get a snug, secure fit sometimes, but they do fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete LD Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The Apollo 7.25 fits nicely and they dont cost to much new, around the 150 mark. used lighting have some rainbow 8" for £85. dont forget the power supply and cables!HTH Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy jackson Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Seconded on the Rainbow pro 8'', they are really easy to put new strings into too, if you are doing a lot of hire work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 My advice is if you are going for a Rainbow scrollers then consider getting a full square backing plate with stand off screws. If you use the Rainbow universal mounting plate with a Cantata then it will more than likely fall out as the Cantata has no bottom gel runner to hold the bottom clip of the Rainbow mounting clip.If you do decide to go for the Apollo scroller then their universal mounting plate is of a much better design with thicker side runner clips so no bottom clip is needed.Hope this helps?
