going pro


If I’m going to mount moving mirrors on the outside of ACCA then my dinky ply construction (from a previous post) just ain’t going to cut it. I need some more serious tech.

moving head light

Andrew gave me this moving head light to experiment with. This thing is solid – pan and tilt movement, good bearings, mostly aluminium construction.

side panel

The stepper motor control chips are socketed, so I should be able to reuse them in my own design.

head

The head is packed with 8 stepper motors controlling shutter, focus, etc.

gobos

Check out this beautiful gobo and colour wheel mechanism.

I stripped the unit down to its basic pan and tilt functions. This is exactly what I’m looking for.

All I need now are half a dozen more.
