Wide Angle Mover

[DonkiDonki]

I have a possible project looming which could do with 4 movers to project a series of gobo's onto an area, the only issue being that it's rather short throw.

 

Can anyone recommend a moving head which can take at least 4 indexed gobo's and have a zoom which gets anywhere near 70 degree?

The lighter and more compact the better. Decent light output would be a bonus too, given the wide angle.

 

The only lamp I have used personally which comes close is the VL3000 but these are really a bit over size and weight but could possible be accommodated if nothing better is found.

 

Something in the Alpha 300/700 range perhaps?

 

 

(Is there any wide angle lens option for the mac700?)

VL1000?

 

6 position gobo and 70° on super zoom

I don't think the gobo will be in focus at 70 degrees on a VL1000, although it will be on a VL3000.

Alpha 700 Spot HPE will do 40 deg. The newer 700 Profile will do 55 deg. I think you may well have to go with a VL3000...

 

Thanks.

Best oens I can see are:

 

 

VariLite VL3000/3500 goes to 56 degress,

VariLite VL1000/1100 goes to 70 degress but as chris says I don't know whether the gobo would focus,

Robe Colorspot 700E AT that goes to 51 degrees,

Martin Mac III Profile goes to 55 degrees,

Clay Paky Alpha Profile/Spot 1500 goes to 59/57 degrees,

Clay Paky Alpha Profile 700 goes to 55 degrees.
