DonkiDonki Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm looking to get a quote on 16 vari-lite 3000 profiles, some circular trusses and all the rigging & power bits to make it work. (It's a weeks hire in Feb)My first thoughts of a supplier to ask for a quote is PRG, but is their anyone else worth looking into for that type of kit?I'm midlands based but the job is in Berlin, we would even consider a local supplier although we currently have no contacts in Germany. Any reccomendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Neg Earth, Richard Martin, Panalux/AFM, HSL & Siyan. Also you could try Essential (now PRG) and Bandit although I think both of those are more Martin based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewGrant Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I worked on a show with a VL3000 last week, it came from White Light. You could try them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkiDonki Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 The main reason I'm looking at using the vl3000 is the superb zoom range, does anyone know of other fixtures which go to 60 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The VL1000A (or VL1000T if you're not bothered about an arc source) will go further - 70 degrees, IIRC, but gobos aren't quite so useable right at the extreme wide end of the range.

Germaine Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi there, We also stock the VL3000's feel free to PM me or visit our website www.blueparrotevents.com, we'd be happy to discuss your needs. Apologies to the moderator if this sort of self promotion is not appropriate. Germaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The only thing is that you will be paying for trucking costs to Germany... Is using local suppliers an option, such as Procon and some of the German suppliers? By the time you have 16 Vl3Ks, Truss, Motors, Rigging, Distro, Cable and any generics etc, your well over a Sprinter/Luton weight. Depending how much extra truss you have you may even be over a 7.5T. I guess if you can drive a 7.5T then you have no worries - but if you can't I wouldn't want 16 VLs in boxes, Truss, Motors, Distro and cable in a 3.5T van - your really pushing it, considering that typically 1.5T is your lot including passengers, and a weeks luggage..

david.elsbury Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sorry to hijak, but does anyone know where to hire VL5's in Auckland (or Hamilton, I guess) in New Zealand? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
