Just wanted to get your thoughts on that moving head. I know there are some that are cheaper and a lot more expensive. Just wonder if you have this moving head what are your like or dislikes about this moving head? Would you recommend tat someone buy this moving head?

Yes. They're a great fixture for the price point and they're ridiculously quiet which is not something I can say about the other moving heads around the same price.

Would these be your first moving heads?

Yes but I wasn't looking to buy them. I was just curious about them in the case I wanted to buy one in the latter future. Not right now.
 
Mix it's almost foolish to ask about products you don't intend to buy in the very near future, especially in lighting, the technology changes so fast that by the time you actually purchase chances are that there will be a newer better and possibly more affordable solution.

As a piece of advice it's almost never good enough to buy only one moving head. They're far more effective and dramatic in pairs and I always try to hang an even number of moving heads.

You'll also have to consider the cost of controlling them with DMX whether that means buying a controller or buying a USB/Software option like MyDMX 2.0 from American DJ. If you're going to leave the moving heads on demo or sound active mode you're wasting your money and you might as well go get a bunch of Vertigos.

I have a light controller and I know you need at least 2 for it to look right at an event.

A standard light controller isn't going to do it justice .. you really need software control. Otherwise you're just using built in programs. And for a standalone controller, you need one with joystick control.

I have found that doing a fair amount of product research to narrow down the field a bit has been very beneficial when it comes to buying new gear. It's always good to look at options, get some reviews and recommendations, price comparisons, and if at all possible, "try before you buy."
