gregog Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi All,Quick question. I need to hire some movers that have both and iris and can be framed (shutters). I know the Mac 2k Performance has these functions, but a friend just mentioned that Clay Paky also have some in their Alpha Range. Is this true, if so which models so that I can have a look into hire? Lumin etc isn't too important at this time, but I want profiles, not washes. Please don't tell me that "google is my friend" I've had a quick look at the data sheets, but time at the moment doesn't permit me to sit through all the bumpf (HUGE set problems) - So I'm looking for recommendations. Many thanks,Gregog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjones2000 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I guess you're probably aware of them, but VL1000's also have an iris and framing shutters. We looked at hiring some for a production a couple of years ago, and they're relatively cheap to hire from Stage Electrics. I can't seem to find them on their website, but I think they were around £130 for the week. Hope this helps,Max J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't think the alpha spot series do. The profile series definitely do - 700, 1200 and 1500 all have shutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac500 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeh the Clay Paky Alpha profile range have shutters and they're very good. There's several Vari*Lite options too VL1000s or VL 3500's and also Martin have the Performance range. Whitelight have most of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokm Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The VL1000TS (T being tungsten / S being shuttering) would be an option if you can live without an Iris (and need to save a bit of money) - Richard Martin Lighting have them and list price is a fair bit less than SLX and what that gets discounted to in the finish is between you and them. AED (only if your a trade customer) also have the Alpha Profile 700s & 1500s if you need a discharge lamped unit. There are some Alpha Profile 1200 around, but they're generally a much heavier unit compared to the new Alpha kit and unfortunately the ones I've seen haven't been too reliable - Can't say 100% why that was..

LXbydesign Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Another +1 for the VL1000TS if you want to keep the colour temp all the same. Otherwise my fav is the Alpha profile 700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simschr Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Source 4 Revolutions can also have a shutter module fitted, and come with a tungsten lamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
