New DMX beam-rail from Goldenstar

[buffo]

Northlight systems sells DMX boards that could control individual modules. But by the time you purchased the DMX decoder board, the 8 modules, the drivers, a power supply, and built an enclosure, I think you would have spent more than the retail cost of the LaserBar units from Goldenstar...

I really try not to shill here, but I have to say something this time. These bars have been around for quite some time and while they're a pretty cool effect they're also extremely limiting. The multi-head system called X-Pod we developed a few years ago is way more flexible and allows you much cooler effects. You can still run parallel beams, but you can also build nets, cones, cubes, walls, all kinds of stuff and you can place them far apart from each other if you want to for a wide, spread out effect. They've been battle tested on everything from international touring acts to corporate installations. They're also made in the USA, which personally I'm a fan of.

Done being a sellout. Have a nice day.

The multi-head system called X-Pod

Could you please post a link ?

the x-pods are cool, but quite expensive.

~700$ for the controller (controls up to 8 pods)
individual pods appear to range from 350$ to 500$.

x-laser is legal and probably more robust. i have no skin in the game, but my preference is always for legal and safe.

Thank you for the link, sure that´s a nice product too !

Yes, the X Pods are cool. They've been at SELEM the last two years. Amazingly bright for their power. Regrettably, they're an extremely, extremely expensive proposition. I was offered a good deal on a set about a year ago and wish I could have afforded it but, it was if I recall around $5,000.

I'd be more inclined to stick to a beam table for this and more effects, but for someone that has no desire to build, this may be a good option. X-Laser being the better, for both legal and quality - neither comes cheap.
