Value For Money :
Excellent
- For how long have you been using it?
1 year and 2 months
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
most: low price, good power lamp, 7 DMX channels
minimum: rather fragile: the DMX input jack is 'back' in the box and the color wheel went crazy (she turns all the time without stopping, even with good values DMX), otherwise it is not fast at all.
EDIT: In the end, it's trash: do not buy this lyre: it overheats and do bugger electronics
EDIT (for the color wheel, the yoke gets very hot (probably smell of burning plastic!)) I lower my rating to 2.5 because of this major design problem (false connections to contacts.)
RE EDIT (May 2009): after four months she remained for repairs from a reseller not very professional of Lyon, the symptoms reappeared! finally: I fixed it myself: just remove the cover of the mobile body of the lyre and then disconnect and reconnect the cables: so it was a bad contact in the connectors that disturbed me the lyre. Otherwise, it is necessary that I reattach the connector DMX is down!
yet EDIT: (June 2009): the lamp power to the air not work: it is food that I will have to repair or is a false contact, which prevents the lamp working, that means, it will be necessary that I take time to fix all that. (in fact, the lamp is burnt out ....)
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
no, this is the first personal lyre
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
seen the problems I had, it is zero.
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
no, I will choose one (or two) above range.
it is so slow that I do not really know what's the point of putting the channel DMX-speed Pan and Tilt "!!!!!!
Briefly, I used mainly for making small effects "U" (the sort of half-turn by turning the Pan and Tilt 180 °)!
given the problems I had (very big problems hardware) seen with his speed, I recommend at least the upper range.
