ProX Almost Ruined My DJ Gig (But this mirror ball motor is still pretty cool)

The shiny mirror ball has been a staple of DJ lighting for many years, and is still a popular effect that has a retro and elegant charm. Mobile wedding DJs have struggled for years with displaying the disco ball in a convenient way.
ProX has recently released the X-MOTOS a mirror ball motor that the disco ball sits on top of. It's minimalistic and has a really small footprint.
I had a client request a mirror ball for their Barbie-themed school dance, so I thought I'd make this video. But there's one major problem... I found that ProX's universal mirror ball motor might not be so universal... I go over all of that in this video as well a solution.

I’m using the Eurolite Stand Mount for Mirror balls with Motor also on top of a gravity stand. Works nice and quick setup. Greets from Germany

@DJDarylBennett 8 месяцев назад

I've had one of those in the past of an American distributor and thought it was pretty cool! Cheers 🥂

@liveguysounddjs7197 8 месяцев назад

Way to keep it positive my dude! Always appreciate when guys go through the effort to make up for the manufacturers weaknesses and laziness.

I purchased the same motor and went with the 30" Pro X mirror ball. It says it is compatible, but it's not. The ball wobbles and eventually tilts to a stop. I contacted support. They sent me a new motor. Same problem. Now I'm stuck with a 30" mirror ball and no way to use it (ships freight). Do not go 30"s if you plan on using it this way.

@DJDarylBennett 3 месяца назад

Wow! 30” must be massive! This is 20” and it does have the tilt like you mention. But it’s really subtle

@billpatterson9361 2 месяца назад

I was thinking of adding 2 of these. 1 on each side of the booth. Is that overkill? Would 1 suffice?

@DJDarylBennett 2 месяца назад

Totally up to you! I've seen some setups with multiple disco balls that I liked. Personally I think disco balls are nostalgic of the 70s they usually just had 1.

@djtroymichael5372 7 месяцев назад

great job putting out a fire and than later figering out how to use the product. Too bad support sucks.. Curious if you have continued to use it? I am debating on this or trying or getting the tripod mount where the motor in on the top. The bottom mount allows for a larger mirror ball so I am leaning toward that. TY

@DJDarylBennett 7 месяцев назад

I did use this at a NYE gig and it worked fabulously. It was also on a stage and sitting on top of the stand, so it was high and shone nicely.

@jeremymiller6635 8 месяцев назад

1rpm is the right speed. The slower the better. I’m not sure how I feel about the bottom mount. It would solve a lot of logistical problems, but I’m concerned about the look. I have seen mirror ball stands. They look really nice, but still don’t raise the mirror ball up as high as I’d like. Great job rolling with the punches and producing a great show.

@DJDarylBennett 8 месяцев назад

Looks are highly subjective! I personally like this compared to a bunch of the other solutions, but thank you for sharing your opinion!

@jeremymiller6635 8 месяцев назад

@@DJDarylBennett Not saying it’s wrong. There’s definitely more ways to accomplish the same result. I’ve also seen mirror balls hung in terrible ways. I am actually going to look at the bottom mount option a little more. Like I said, I think it solves a lot of logistical problems. You’re always very innovative with your productions. Kuddos

@DJDarylBennett 8 месяцев назад

@@jeremymiller6635 I'm not offended in the slightest if you like other mirror ball displays better than this one! Personally, I think hanging from the ceiling above the dance floor is the best look but isn't always feasible. Thank you!

@moisesdevs 8 месяцев назад

Can you make a video about how you started to learn to DJ? Also, is DJ'ing a saturated market already? I'm also curious why you have chosen to pursue DJing videos over making software engineering content. Sincerely, a CS major .

@DJDarylBennett 8 месяцев назад

I've been performing music longer than I've been interested in software development. So probably the majority of the skills of DJing I've obtained thru the years of being in a band. Such as creating setlists, reading the room, setting up sound and lighting equipment, running a music business, booking gigs, etc... also some of my old band mates DJ as well as play music so they introduced me to it and taught me a lot. Taking my business to where it is today, was a lot of business books, surfing FB groups, RU-vid channels like this one. DJing is extremely saturated, but there's always room for quality and talent in any market. People asked me questions about light programming, and I just made videos to help explain things. And I just kept making videos lol. I may take these skills and make software engineering content.

@raggaroaringsound 7 месяцев назад

On a stage that ball is going to wobble every move you make. Keep it on the floor.

@DJDarylBennett 7 месяцев назад

I was worried about that too, but the stand and stage combo was pretty sturdy. There was minor wobble when I jumped up and down, but it was acceptable

@TheDjelements 8 месяцев назад

Pro X is the worst I’ve had nothing but horrible customer experience. The gabe owner guy is beyond rude and careless to customers.

@DJDarylBennett 8 месяцев назад

Wish I could say my experience was better 😞
