    I use it since early September 2012.

    I love all these features and I have absolutely no negatives to report.

    I use two T-Rex Martin are great also but the effects are totally different.

    Quality / price excellent.

    I remake this choice with your eyes closed!

    I used to buy in very good condition (I was 4 in all), great product, I currently serve all day and well super reliable!! MARTIN LIVE, I try another brand of low cost but nothing to do with the one
    what I like most the number of color and gobo wheel varied and mostly two separate this type of product, the electronic display, weight, size, axcessibilite a lamp or maintenance, for me no less (apart from not having to buy more soon!)
    the great value for money (I have them buy secondhand!) so I remake this choice of remaining within pledge of quality martin

    - How long have you use it?

    I use it for about 1 month in musical mode at the moment because I do not possde DMX controller, this should not delay (more info in some time controller via APRS use)!!

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    Most: Produced a report qualitprix exceptional movement speed pan / tilt, color / gobos on two wheels spars, sync music trs remarkable!

    The -: Nothing to report yet!!

    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

    I is not had a chance to try other devices before this one!

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

    If I had me some time in rinvestir in one or more moving lights (if it comes to scanner) certainly I would do the same maybe even buy the j'achterais MODEL above SCX700 ( by date released yet, and certainly not compatible with my budget for now lol)

    In conclusion:
    I personally find it a quality product for a mobile disco INTERESTED trs or an amateur (like moa ;-)!), Otherwise it possde effects of a major trs quality be it the brightness (in spite of the lamp 150W/15V) or the netet gobo. Finally j'me RPET but it is a good product trs on all items (well in any case in standalone mode) maybe I would eventually rticenses few compared to the control via a DMX!! To be continued ...

    I lou a pack of 4 with a tlcommande SCX500 Martin 2510 for a night that I hosted last night. I t trs surprised at the light output by dlivre sail with the "small" lamp 150W halogne. The lens uses is really thundering! Compared Roboscan of 812, it should not be made away from the trs light, while the latter are quips with lamps discharge to ...
    In short an excellent product because of its reasonable price.
    On the other hand, the movements of the mirror are not jerks, change colors and gobos are fast, and in addition there are heavy!

    The least: the programs in the implants are not tlcommande top ... I think the automatic mode allows more animation INTERESTED.

    I rent for 8 Saturday
    a small private party.
    one word ... impressive !!!!! reality; because given the size and power (150w) I expected, a small scanner as there are everywhere. (too few to be? but this is another debate.)
    it worked thanks to my software sunlite ... (alike!).
    change gobos and colors very fast movements of the mirror and especially the pan &tilt; luminositee .... very good performance ... all with a bit of smoke ... no complaints.
    I think to buy it, very soon.
    For me ideal to host small parties.

    This weekend, I have 4 tests SCX 500 and I must say I am disappointed.
    The nonlinearity of the dimmer is horrible and intravaillable (it jumps from 0 to 30% of a stroke)
    There is no shutter in (c is the gobo wheel that is the strobe effect)
    The colors are nice (but I m ​​expecting a lot better compared to what I had read)
    The view is good but the focus is too easy to adjust. Effort on the screw so qq vibration and c is disturbed ....

    In conclusion, I find that c is a machine too expensive in light of the benefits.

    It will soon be 3 years that I have and have not moved!
    A true wonder to the size and weight!
    MARTIN quality, I've cleaned once, and it was very easy, even a novice can do it!

    The most? height, weight, price, quality, not bad for light output of 150W!
    The least? went on to say the mirror is a little slow, but it's really to say something!

    In short an excellent value for money, I do it again this choice without any problems!

    I am using for 3 months I had 2 scan contest that I've replaced by roller contest with 24v 250 watt lights that are much above the white level, even if the roller, the Martins are a bit yellowish damage ... principally made the client look more often than the gobo beams "apart connoisseurs"
    2 roller contest the scan covers almost the 6 scan martin ....
    otherwise it is really small and lightweight, the gobo is nicer than the contest
    Raport quality one can my dear is the quality, it would be great if there was a kit for like 150 hti "I think the 218 series"
    I think not resume such model has less of a whiter light

    My personal opinion is that it is worth.

    Above all, insist on a fact (wink to those who believe that a scan of 150 W could be equivalent to 300 W):

    Remain honest.
    He must choose his material based on the use to which it will be.
    It should also compare what is comparable.

    For the description, that of KOURTCH seems very objective, and I find the opinion of NICOCONICE very very hard.
    This unit is ideal for parties indoors or outdoors in yard for example. With a bit of smoke, it's amazing.
    With 2 SCX500 is good, with 4, one can start a show!

    Here's a year since I use them.

    I tested quite a few models before, but more powerful devices intended for outdoor mobile disco.

    Beautiful …

    Beautiful colors (although given the double and multiple colors on a single gobo).
    Good brightness.

    Excellent value for money.

    I do not regret my choice, especially since I did play competition for 4 devices and I have had to € 288.00 / piece (when I see the price of Argus AF ...).
