Great! 👍 I had the move a while ago, now i have a smaller version from eurolite without the moving heads. The lighting thing is realy a world on its own..
What other good options are out there now. Let's say I'm on a budget between 2000 to 5000 dollars? Trying to find cool classy lighting solutions that i can get creative with and don't look cheap. @@tarekith
Great video I just got my ils comand for the very same reasons. I also taped uv filters over the strobe lights so they strobe uv instead of just white it alos tamed the brightness, so they are not so bright.
Thanks for the thorough review! A lot more than what they have out there. I’ve been using mine for about 3 months and the casing already ripped. Also a major issue I have is every time I plug it in it asks to insert usb stick and won’t work accurately. It this like a need to update firmware thing? I have to unplug and plug numerous times until it randomly works
With DMX and upgraded fixtures you'll be able to access Complex Color Fades Synchronized Chases Cues Fading in and Out Cool Intensity Effects A wide variety of different movement effects Prisms And a LOT more control overall!
@@tarekithHey! Just recognized your name from the Ableton forum a from long time ago! I was Hambone. I sequenced and controlled all of my audio, video, and lighting through Live back then. I miss those days!
When in Blackout the movers still make noise and moving arround.... set first in freeze and after that in blackout ;-) ( then you hear only the fans :-) )
I shied away from learning DMX for years. I finally gave up the ghost of non-compliance and spent several days diving in and making a note book writing down the programming for each light and learning the Chauvet Obey 40 programming steps. Making lots of mistakes is best because the time you are able to program a 12 light bar into 8 scenes into one chase mode will elevate your ability to put down creative light combo chase scenes. I am much older than you so I know you have the time and energy to learn DMX. Good luck Sir !!
Do you know if Chauvet has addressed any of the issues you pointed out since you published this review? Looks like it was 9 months ago. I have a Chauvet Gigbar 2.0 and am considering upgrading to this unit, and a command to have a bit better control. I hate not being able to easily navigate to a white wash or something in the middle of a wedding reception dance etc. Nice review! Thanks. 👍
Do you know how we get two to work? I can’t find any info on how to set up the 2nd gig bar. Would I keep the 2nd gig bar set to the same Dfi channel as the 1st?
@@JonathanMahoneyDOP Hi, yes, actually this was easy to get to resolve. As I wanted both GigBars to do the same, I made the settings identical on both bars and used the same DFI channel. In my case I used DFI 16 and also specified this on my ILS Command et viola :).
this was done under settings and I put the GibBars btw also to Slave, as the ILS COmmand is the Master device. Just wanted to add it to my previous comment ;)
Oh wow, thank your answer!, Well, it’s a Great device. Was the Programs and Shows included in the command Controller ,or made it by Yourself ? Best regards, Sebastian.
It's light is incredible and we used 2 GigBars and the ILS Command in a big room with about 1000 guests. Incredible light effects and really good quality. Every € spend is worth it :)
@@tarekith Is it something you can test? There's not many recent videos on it, and I'm looking for something simple to control the lights instead of getting the external hardware controller
@@tarekith what are tape outs? I have FLX10 and I want to connect it to ILS Command with AUX. What cable should I buy? I am thinking about 3.5 aux (ILS Command) to RCA (FLX10). Will it work?
I'm interested in only using the remote and not the command....can you dim lights with only use of the hand held remote. I have reached out to so many UA-camers and have not been able to get a difinitive answer. Thanks for your help 🙏
@@manidelgado Yes you can dim the lights with the remote, but it's a very slow process where you have to hit the + and - buttons many times. Also, you lose control over dimming on individual lights, it's all or nothing. You cannot dim the strobes at all with the remote.
Dude...when you do get into DMX it's going to fit your sets SO MUCH BETTER! I think for you you should think about doing something like 4 Intimidator Spot 260s on totems, and then a 4 bar quad ILS behind you...Plus I think you can then get a stronger laser to put as your centerpiece, PLUS if you want to stronger derbies.
I ended up trading my ILS Command for the WMX1 right after I made this video actually :) not sure I can afford new lights yet though, pretty pricey once you get out of the Gigbar realm.
@@amax92 I plan on doing a video review here shortly, but briefly the WMX1 gives you a little more control over the strobes, moving heads, and pars, but a little less control over the laser and overall colors available to all the fixtures. Mainly due to Chauvet not opening up all the Gigbar functionality to their DMX Spec.
You better off with a obey 70 , program eight different scenes and call it a day’ also the controller is overpriced ; for Wi-Fi get a difi wireless transmitter and receiver range is good up to a 100ft
I have this gigbar and ils command, and also a gigbar2...would you recommend using both to ensure good coverage, particularly if I set up one of them behind me? Also if I just a small amt of fog from my machine in front of gigbar I place behind me, will the fog stay in place for the most part, or will it blanket the room no matter how little I dispense?
Nothing wrong with using both Gigbars, but I don't think the ILS command will work with the Gigbar 2, only the gigbar move + ILS. Fog/haze tends to dissipate pretty quickly once in the air, so a little bit will fade away pretty quickly and you'll need to introduce more over time. In my experience it tends to slowly blanket whatever space it's in, though with most haze machines today it doesn't smell bad or anything that might bother an audience.

Great set. I love your sound. Really cool. Those presets really work with the music.
Thanks!

It's been a fun rabbit hole to go down for sure, Pretty crazy how many some what affordable options there are now.
What other good options are out there now. Let's say I'm on a budget between 2000 to 5000 dollars? Trying to find cool classy lighting solutions that i can get creative with and don't look cheap. @@tarekith
Awesome
Very nice ❤
I will say the nice thing about the ILS command is that some of the functionality missing could be addressed with firmware upgrades.
Great video I just got my ils comand for the very same reasons. I also taped uv filters over the strobe lights so they strobe uv instead of just white it alos tamed the brightness, so they are not so bright.
I'm sure Chauvet will add UV to the white, just like they did with Gigbar 1 to Gigbar 2
@@kennyplay5982 can that be done in a firmware update or new fixture in future

Yeah, sounds like an update issue. Chauvet has a video here on UA-cam showing how to do it.
The Music and Light show looks epic bro! Very Hypnotic and mesmerizing, great work!
Thanks!

Tasteful use of color. Nice. No need to use every color and mode in the Gigbar just because they're there!
Less is more in my world :)

For the kind of specificity you require or like, might as well just get sound switch

Nice sample set.
Thank you so much for the in depth review, you answered a ton of questions that I was looking into with this rig! Great tracks as well just subbed :)
fantastic video, thanks for all your effort and sharing
Thanks for this, I like how you've set up the laser and derbys, great idea! Appreciate your time for making this video!
Great video thanks
Hi 😀, can the ILS Command also control 2 Chauvet DJ Gigbbar Move Bars?
Yes, but they will both do the exact same thing, you can’t control them independently. .

Hi there, thanks for the great video, I was wondering, if you could tell me what kind of hard wire goes into Ils machine?
I can access the UV lights with ADJ mydmx go.
Hey, Create Light Show!, are you used to Programmed The Light Show DMX or Only the IlS command ? thanks for Your answer ! Regard, Sebastian
That was all from the ILS command.
Oh wow, thank your answer!, Well, it’s a Great device. Was the Programs and Shows included in the command Controller ,or made it by Yourself ? Best regards, Sebastian.
I made the presets used in this video myself. It's very easy to do with the ILS Command.
Super helpful video, thank you!
It's a setting in the light
OK, I'm convinced, we just bought it and a haze machine! 😱
We are a cover duet with a DJ set after so this looks perfect for us
It's light is incredible and we used 2 GigBars and the ILS Command in a big room with about 1000 guests. Incredible light effects and really good quality. Every € spend is worth it :)
Can you tell me how I make the moving heads go full circle instead of concentrating forward??
go into settings, scroll to panning and put in 360 or 540
Note: the other RFC-XL controller you talking about is NOT for Gigbar move + ils... (!)
Thanks for putting that out there.
How's the chauvet BT air app in 2024? It doesn't have any good reviews...
Honestly I've never used it even once.
@@tarekith Is it something you can test? There's not many recent videos on it, and I'm looking for something simple to control the lights instead of getting the external hardware controller
How does this light work with a green screen?
I have no idea to be honest, never used one. Sorry.
Nice
I wish they come out with ILS foot controller
I wish you could reprogram the foot pedal 😭
Can you control other moving heads with the ils command
Only if they are from chauvet and also use the ILS protocol.
Outstanding presentation!
Are you using a regular 3.5 cord for the sound mode?
Yep, I go from the tape outs of my mixer to the 3.5 inputs on the ILS Command.
@@tarekith what are tape outs? I have FLX10 and I want to connect it to ILS Command with AUX. What cable should I buy?
I am thinking about 3.5 aux (ILS Command) to RCA (FLX10). Will it work?
The name of the "smoke machine" again please
Chauvet D1x
@@tarekith - Isn't it 1DX?
Last track ID?
All the ‘songs’ in this demo are just a part of my live act, so I don’t have a name for it.

Yes, that’s what the faders on the ILS command are for.

Got it! Does the command fit in the case....can you dump out the footswitch and slide in the command instead? Thanks again for your help
@@manidelgado No, the command is 10x bigger than the footswitch, you'll need a separate case or bag for it.

I like intimidator line, too. Impressive lighting for the price. All a musician needs is 4 hybrids. A lot of show… easily would do a 3 hour set.
