Members djiceman1575 Posted March 16, 2013 Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 Anyone ever tried using a moving head as a followspot? I.E. one set up on a tripod next to the mix area and use a small custom-made joystick to aim up/down, focus, etc.? Would be a nice idea for smaller shows... (To be honest, I just thought of that idea with the current band I'm working with, sitting in the "sound booth" and she's walking around with a wireless mic, dancing on the bar and such ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted March 16, 2013 Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 How about this: Hook up a control system so that you can wear a helmet, and the scanner will follow where you aim your head, like a helicopter gunship targetting system. OK, maybe that's a little extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members djiceman1575 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 With actual guns? Ermm...I mean...'Merica. But really, I was thinking maybe something like a console game controller, some special software that controls the DMX faders for left or right movement, plus up and down, that way it's a bit user friendly. Would be something nice to have, as opposed to a huge followspot on a 4x4 riser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 Once you have the height, it would basically be panning left and right. I don't think it would be too hard, with one. 2 could be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stangconv Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is there anything that could be worn to make the moving heads follow it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
