Ian_P Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 All, I am seriously thinking about how I would swap a number of gobos in a single lantern. Would the best way be to use a gobo changer in a standard lantern such as a Source 4 zoom, if so can anyone suggest a product? I ask because the DHA gobo carousel has been withdrawn, and this would seem to be the ideal thing. If a moving light were used, I would want to use one to swap gobos again, so the ability to use stock DHA / Apollo gobos would be required. As I tend to light very small stages, a wide angle would be needed, 30-50 degrees to get the coverage, angles of this size seem to be the domain of high end moving lanterns. I need to be able to use gobos that do not matter about rotation, but some (windows etc) would need to be projected the 'right way' up. Am I asking too much for one lantern?

robloxley Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hire a DHA gobo carousel for an ETC S4; hire a suitable moving head profile & get the gobos from DHA in the relevant size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know who hires these, as Ian said DHA have withdrawn them Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_P Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 A quick update. After searching with no luck to come up with a way to change gobos, I finally decided to abandon this idea, and have multiple lanterns each with one gobo, and drive these off a multidim dimmer to save using up channels at the venue. Low tech, but it worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
