DJ Jer Shop Time compares a scanner style fixture and a moving head fixture. When one works better than the other and which option is best for your dj setup.
hey DJ Jer, are there Scanners used on bigger concerts or do they use moving heads only? Is it save to operate a moving head on a light tripod-stand? cheers and thanks!
It depends what mover you are using on a tripod. The smaller ones are probably fine but bigger ones would not be recommended. There are scanners for larger concerts but when you get into large concerts they are using $4-9 thousand movers. Scanners aren't really used to much in the pro world. Scanners work great for DJ because they are compact and have a super fast pan tilt.
