Gregosian Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi there, has any one ever substituted another gobo holder for a Selecon Pacific one? We stock S4s but I'm doing an event in a theatre that has pacifics. Am looking to do metal break ups so I'm not interested in ecetates etc. Failing this does anyone know the size of the gate in the Pacific so I can 'jimmy' it? Cheers.

the kid Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Have you hunted on the selecon site ? here suggests 86mm but I am not sure. I was not even aware you could get "B" size holders my ones are only M. For what its worth there is a Pacific template on the wiki I think, and a printed breakup will be fine in them. Here suggests 86mm If you cannot get it in acetates will be ok. a bit dimmer but ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHoward Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We use A Sized gobos and holders in our pacifics. I'll stick one through the scanner tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not totally sure about the Pacific, I know the new spx profiles will take a s4 template holder. Maybe an email to the m is the way forward. Couldn't see anything definative on selecon website this am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GridGirl Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Have you hunted on the selecon site ? here suggests 86mm but I am not sure. I was not even aware you could get "B" size holders my ones are only M. Different lens tubes use different sized gobos - 12-24 degrees need M size, 23-50s take A or B size (and by assumption, 5.5-13 degrees take M, 45-75 take A or B). Might be worth checking which lenses the units have before you find gobo holders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanhill Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 As GridGirl has stated above, different types (zoom/fixed/beam angles) need different gobo sizes, and therefore different gobo holders. DHA/Rosco do offer some third party gobo holders, but not for all models.
