knightdan65 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Looking at control options in a medium sized college theatre for predominantly generics with a small number of (older) moving heads and LEDs. I like the look of the FLX for its intuitivity and simplicity as much as it’s price point. I have however heard that it is a bit ‘buggy’ - almost like a beta product not ready for the market. Has anyone had bad experiences? Equally, what are your favourite things about it? Thanks,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyld Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I like the FLX for all the reasons you mention. At one of my places of work, the techs had some on demo a while back and muttered about issues booting but I felt like the ETC fanatics had mostly already set their sights on a handful of Colorsources anyway.

scottydog75 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I also agree with the points mentioned. I find it very easy and fast to program and use. I agree that occasionally there can be a stumble during boot, but once running the desk is very stable. There is a large OS update coming later this quarter which is supposed to iron out some of these issues, as well as add in some new features too I believe. Also the customer support from Zero88 is very good. Their forum is also a helpful place for any questions you might have and is frequently monitored by the admins.

jonhole Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi Dan, if you drop me an email (JonHole@Eaton.com) we might be able to arrange some training and/or demo if that’s helpful whilst you’re deciding? We have several free training dates dotted around the country, so hopefully one of them would be convenient for you - zero88.com/training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmett45 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I've been using the FLX desk in my 130 seat College theatre for two and a half years now. It is a thing of beauty! Initially there were a couple of glitches but they got sorted out very quickly by Zero 88's excellent support team who have never failed to answer any questions I have posed to them. I would recommend this desk 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte_R Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I used an FLX in Edinburgh. It wouldn't be my first choice of desk, but it was good for the space that we used it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
