Any DJ's using GOBO lights to project their logo on walls etc?

If so what machine are you using?

I use an ETC Source Four Zoom Jr.

This thing is stupid bright and will light up a side of a building like Batman's logo.

I use my projector or the TVs in the venue to DJ music videos, so it's easy to briefly throw your logo with a drop in the mix/on the screen...

@Gaffle, where do you get the custom gobos made?

this is what i've been doing for over a year now. you get full color, animation and don't have to pay to have gobos cut.

I'm looking to pick this up...I've seen it once but I want to see it at an actual venue...

Depending on the street price, that may be a great option. Mine is crazy bright... moreso than what I really need. The problem with my unit is that it gets extremely hot. I have a RR case for it and have to let it cool down at least 5 minutes before putting it in the case.

Yeah....that was the part that impressed me...the unit was still cool after being on for a few hours (I was it at a small DJ trade show)...the actual light of the projection was a bit cooler too...

It's a little long winded...but he compares the projections at about 11 mins:

I will say that the Eternal LED 'blueish' looking gobo was blurry compared to the Halogen lights. I'm not sure if that was due to them not properly adjusting the view or not.

Yes...it was...at the show, it looked pretty sharp. But in it wasn't that dark in the room at the time.

@King I just bought one to use either my logo or wedding couples names... haven't tried it out yet...

Jay when you try it out if you dont mind let me know how you like it.
