Martin Mini Mac Profile

[weekendrev]

I am looking to purchase 4 x working Martin Mini Mac Profile lights.

I am based in Scotland but willing to travel to collect.

Please send info of any lights available.

Why would you want a Martin Mini Mac? That is perhaps the worst moving light ever made.

This is just the moving lights that I had seen. Would be happy to have any small sized moving heads that can be programmed to run in sync and with DMX controller. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

The Martin Mini Mac while being small & compact, is a maintenance nightmare. Plus, they are not very bright. I live in the USA, so I am not sure what brands you have access to, but I can assure you that you will find better lights for not much more money.

Try these moving head led's (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-...623863426.html), or the 5R beams are AWESOME (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/200W-...736002036.html)....

Robe 150/160/170 might be a better equivalent.

Do you have experience purchasing moving heads from China? If you do, I would like to know all about. Personally I avoid purchasing anything from China that has moving parts or complex optics (unless it is a proven company), because as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for. Specifically, they are prone to catch fire (true story).

Agreed, Robe makes nice stuff. A club I used to work at had 14 CS170's, and they were FAR nicer that the Martin Mini Mac; brighter, crisper optics, more features.

If you lived in the States I would recommend something from the Chauvet intimidator line; While not the highest quality fixtures, you get a lot of bang for the buck. Not sure if they sell them on your side of the pond....

Showtec Indigo 150 is the sort of Chauvet equivalent over here. LED source.

I personally do not own any of these lights, but I do have a few friends who have bought the moving head LED's and swear they are good. He has the MAC 101's, and the knock off's i posted and the only difference is when you put the originals in the same room with the clones, the strobe is off by a half a second.... on the 5R beams, I have seen them used at several gigs, and they BLEW ME AWAY!!!
