I got a pair of Lixadas based on your last Mover video and have been so pleased! We now run a PreProgrammed Light show via the DMXIS box running inside of Ableton. Can't thank you enough for helping me learn DMX and get it implemented!

I'm convinced Steve is the world's best Lighting tech

[ChrisTittiger]

I own 4 and I was just thinking “I need a refresher on these things”. I was going to look up to see if you had a video as you are my go to channel for learning about DMX. You made a great video!

[TheUpstateMusicChannel]

All the videos on my channel about 80 different bands I learned most of the lighting techniques from Learn Lizard!
Awesome job!!!

[kianandtheviolin]

Ahhh I just found this video this is exactly what In needed! You are great and you have helped me a lot! Your videos are amazing! They let me learn everything instantly! Thank you for this!

[catwhatcher]

Awesome!! I love moving head lights and this makes them even more cool! Thank you!

[navsoltani]

I stumbled upon this, but I must say it is exceptionally well done!

[Ghoulieghoulproductions]

Omg. Dude. You are so good at showing and explaining how this stuff works. Thank you so much

[neostratospey]

Best DMX channel ever. Great job explaining.

They are great little lights I have 2 of them on the end of my rig and use them to light the room as well as spot light things I used to use it with the dmx controller but I’ve now got it set to my adj airstream

[robertrickman]

SIMPLE, BASIC INSRUCTION....High Five I have 8 of these 'similar' fixtures and use them as Stage position SPOTS, and as 'PARTY MOVERS" for 'Break Music'. (shameful admition, here...), but I've never actually taken the time to SLAVE them, but this makes Programing a bit easier to understand...THANKS

[DjJeffo]

Hey, Fantastic video. Great example how to set up DMX. I’m sure you will do a Wireless one via Interface and iPad. Cannot wait to see more of your videos Steve. 😁🙏🏼

I tested the betopper LM70S RGBW Wash Moving Head and run it in Fast auto mode and was bright to light up the backyard with colors and tested with my DMX Controller and works flawlessly and use it in a pool party

[eDrumsInANutshell]

Haha. I just ordered two of those. Really, since getting onto stage for the first time I was curious about those devices.
A few years ago I wanted to DIY a USB DMX device.
And now, since getting into edrums, the time has come.... I would like to just try out some things with MIDI from edrums or the DAW into Q Light Controller+ through a cheap USB2DMX RS485 Adapter with FTDI chip.
I think I dont need an Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface for 2 moving heads and 4 PARs?
Thanks for your content, dude!

[angusdoleman]

is there anyway to invert pan in the x direction so the mirror eachother in auto modes when slaved

[jeffreybernett]

Another great video! Would this method also work with the Intimidator Wave 360 IRC?

Hi
Thank you so much for this video.
Can you please teach more about ‘Stairville Show Bar TriLED 18x3W RGB’ and ‘ Stairville LED Commander 16/2’
?

[ektasix]

Love your vids, they are really helpful!
I'm really new to this world so I have a question... I can't decide if I should buy 2PCS of the ones you showed in this video or 2PCS of the Mini Gobo ones. I'll use them mainly for parties and not so big events, but at the same time I kinda want to put on a show with the lights, so I don't know which one will help me more with that. My main concern is them not covering up as many space as I want or not being so bright.

Wich one would you pick or Wich one do you think is the better moving head overall??? Thanks.

[mefuze]

hello, your information is very valuable, thank you very much. There are 4 mini moving heads where I work. I run it with DMX. I set it to 1, 17, 33, 49 but the two work differently. I wonder why they have different colors and one of them turns in a different direction?

[MARTINMATON]

Hey Steve. Great video! I have 4 of these lights and they are very good. Is it possible to control them via a DMX controller staying on 1 color in sound activation mode? I wish to create front and back washes with Betopper par cans and have the moving head color match/compliment the wash. For live music the random color changing is a little erratic. Appreciate if you can help. Thank you :)
