Hi all I note the predominant users of this site are "sand gropers"; “theatre people” seems to be the medium in Victoria. I do note some Vics also by the way… Moi, I now reside in Qld for my sins....but an ex (Vic) Mexican…………WhitehorseMusicalTheatre….. Guys n' Dolls re those familiar will know I am their “Gaffer” Production Designer/ Manager extraordinaire. We are sourcing 2x Follow Spots supply. The auditorium we use has a longish throw - some 100 feet - and I want something with style, grunt, colours would be nice. I saw these iSolution 1200 (1200w) spots in Federation Square Melbourne a few years ago and was impressed. Didn't see them lit up but their technical’s were ab fab. This control panel at the back provides everything. Anyone with the knowledge of a decent "dome" as they are called in some parts would be appreciated. Obviously budget is the underlying factor........ Good chatting with some of you Peter Probert

If you are still looking there are other options around such as: Lycian www.lycian.com ..the website is basic but the information in the specifications is good and realistic. Well built followpots..not the cheapest in the world but as they say, you get what you pay for. There are also a few options from Altman www.altmanltg.com Popular as a cheaper option in the States. Another one in the cheaper end which performs well for the price is LDR...these are popular in Europe...might be worth a looksy... If you need any further info pop me an email.
