Wow I've had these lights for 5 years and never once did I ever put them in any of those modes I just plugged them in and let them go now I've learned how to make it look a lot better thanks for the tutorial
Thank You Sooooo MUCH! It's 2021 and I'm considering going Mobile. Your videos have saved me countless hourrs of planning, and an untold fortune in equipment choices. Less is More!
All things you are showing up in this praktical instructional VIDEO ...... they are , very, very, very USEFUL !!!! I just bought on Amazon the 2 pcs. of the Mickey LED mini moving head RGBW. I will try your instructions with them soooooooon !!!! \Thank you so much !!!! You are making really good practical hands-on videos !!!!
Thank you so much for this video Brian, I've just bought a pair of Equinox Fusion Razor Beams (my first moving heads) and this has helped me immeasurably.
Excellent video👍🏻. Ditto on wish I had seen this before. Also wish I could find a site that translates the cryptic symbols on the moving head lights to what they actually mean; “nAST” (or the sort) meaning Master, etc.
Hey Brian! thanks for the quick and easy tut. Most of this applies to the Chauvet Intimidator Spot 110. Just wanted to let you know (just in case you wanted to add that to the title) Thanks again!
I don't have these exact fixtures but something similar. Mine go into a mode where it each pan/tilt setting can be set from 127 thru -127, I've tried several variations and nothing seems to get them to work right. This is a really great video tho and I appreciate your expertise! Thanks!
Hi Brian, You did an excellent job and very informative in this video! My question is, after we hanged them on the ceiling, how could we set or change the program without the need of the dmx controller? The dmx controller seems too complicated and add extra hassle to me. Thanks!
thank you for the thorough video it's what i been searching for. i just subscribed. what about keeping the heads from turning towards the dj? does this mode prevent that? i'm looking to sync mine like yours but also prevent them from turning backwards where the dj is. thanks in advance
How good are these lights on a truss? From the looks of the video they dont point down much...they look like they were made to be hung upside down only
I just saw your video and found it very knowledgeable. The problem I’m having now is that I have no SLND mode on my stinger spot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Brian, I bought some moving heads 12x12 LED beam i wonder how I can program these so they only shine in front of the DJ booth, now thes shine all over the place (don't know what the X-axis fine tuning is or the Y)axis fine tunig..probably is this what i'm looking for, but I don't understand. Thanks!!
Hey Brian. Excellent Chanel, I’m just getting into moving heads. I picked up a pair of inno pocket spots. How do you set them so they don’t point to the floor on a t-bar. Want settings do I use?
Ok. I followed your instructions to the tee and i got it working. One night i pressed some button on one of the spots and now when i plug in my DMX cables it shows a number 1 on both inno spots. One moves around and the other is i guess for lack of words “confused”. It goes on and off, strobes the whole 9 but doesnt follow the Master for nothing! How can i get it out of that mode and make it work again? Do my settings have to be some way for it to work other than this video?
I had a quick question; If your two inno pocket spots are connected to a dmx controller and I am using the fixtures during a show where I have programmed them to a playback, can I somehow get the fixtures to run show mode during the interval of that show? Love your videos btw!
Hey, I do this using a DMX splitter.You just need to run more cables. I have a 2 channel splitter. Channel one goes to all 4 moving heads. Channel 2 goes to all other fixtures. There is also a remote (UC3 controller) connected to the master of the moving heads. All i need to do is pull out the cable on channel one of the splitter. My movingheads start to respond to the music in show mode 4 and i can control them using the UC3 controller. All my other fixtures still respond to my DMX software.
Hi Brian, when you use 4 moving heads, the 2 middle ones were program to slave 2. Did you use pan/ tilt move as well? By the way your videos are so informative and very helpful. Many thanks
Hey Brian, I just bought 2 pocket Pro's (love them) and they have obviously the same features as the ones you are talking about in this video but also degrees. I haven't messed around to much but I am hoping you can do a walk through on the features of the pocket pro and all what each feature means. If you have done something like this and I haven't seen it please feel free to direct me. Thank you for all you do, training every day and learning is easier with you!!
I am sort of new to moving heads, I've purchased two of these and I love them but even with pan an tilt inversions they go all over the place like behind me I would like to keep them scanning only the dance floor if that makes any sense how do I achieve that?
I noticed before doing this configuration of both pan and tilt inversion the lights seemed to be going 360 degrees whereas after they seemed more 180 oriented is this true?
I am a DJ and have two of these. It is very confusing programming them. I have separately purchased these spots from Amazon. After calling them and they said they do not come with instructions and there is no manufacture contact info available. There only solution was to give me full refund, not my choice. No instructions are included...ever. So thank you for your time in your posts. Your post are fortunately the only available info. If I may ask you a question about these lights; I would like to know if you know why my spot beams have a line thru the projection? Not all the time, every 3rd or 4th projection. I took a photo but I do not see anywhere to add photo here. Thank you for all you do! Peace-DJ MikeL
I ran into a problem with setting up some mega-pars in master-slave mode. I read through the manual and could not get the second one to follow. Later when I got home I noticed they were set to different addresses. Are your moving heads set to the same address? or It doesn't matter? Thanks
Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the amount of PAN angle? In other words I would prefer that the heads not pan (or tilt) to behind the stage where there is no one to see it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You've recorded this 9 years ago and today, 9 years later, you helped me out a lot haha. Thank you!
Wow I've had these lights for 5 years and never once did I ever put them in any of those modes I just plugged them in and let them go now I've learned how to make it look a lot better thanks for the tutorial
This has got to be one of the best videos explaining pan and tilt on moving heads
Thank You Sooooo MUCH! It's 2021 and I'm considering going Mobile. Your videos have saved me countless hourrs of planning, and an untold fortune in equipment choices. Less is More!
All things you are showing up in this praktical instructional VIDEO ...... they are , very, very, very USEFUL !!!! I just bought on Amazon the 2 pcs. of the Mickey LED mini moving head RGBW.

8 years later and this video is still helping the world! Thank you so much🫠
Wow 7 years ago you told me stuff I needed to know. Now I actually need to use them Thanks this was very helpful
Hey Brian, I had bought these a few years back when they were just released and wasn’t able to use them till now. Great video, thank you
very good video, clear instructions... i've had a pair of moving heads for a while and never knew what slave 2 was.
Thank you! You explain things very well and clear, brilliant clear video! "I will now have a Brilliant Light Show"
Wish I saw this b4. Would have saved me so much trouble . thanks for these videos. There awesome. So informative.
Thank you so much for this video Brian, I've just bought a pair of Equinox Fusion Razor Beams (my first moving heads) and this has helped me immeasurably.
Awesome video bro 🎉
Sir you truly are a great person....thanks for the knowledge....easy and simple!!!
Hi Brian,
You answered my question perfectly with this video.
Thanks so much!
JP
Easy to understand and not a lot of talking! Thanks!
Brilliant advice. Thanks... I'm getting the ADJ pocket pro pair next week, hopefully they work the same as these!
Thanks again.
Thanks Brian! Just bought my first moving heads and the airstream bridge. This video was perfect for getting that mirrored look happening!
your timing is immpeccable thanks very much for this
Wow, now i need a second Inno spot....the effects r so cool
great help man! i'm waiting for my 2 intimidator 355z,can't wait to pratice on all of their features ,nice video!!
Fantastic video, answered a lot of my questions. Thanks Brian!
Thank you for this wonderful and simple video. This is still the best one out there!
Good video my friend! Thanks a lot!!!
Question, can that be done while connected to a DMX controller?
I'm picking up 2 Pocket Pros tomorrow. Thank you for the informative vid!!☆
how do you slow it down?
Excellent illustration. Thanks.
Excellent video👍🏻. Ditto on wish I had seen this before. Also wish I could find a site that translates the cryptic symbols on the moving head lights to what they actually mean; “nAST” (or the sort) meaning Master, etc.
Cheers dude.... really helped me out with a nagging issue.
How did you only illuminate upwards?
Great tip. I never knew this. Thanks Brian.
Thanks Brian. Was always wondering what this SL2 might be used for. Now I know!
what wattage were the lights, that you used in the video.
Hey Brian! thanks for the quick and easy tut. Most of this applies to the Chauvet Intimidator Spot 110. Just wanted to let you know (just in case you wanted to add that to the title) Thanks again!
this video is just what i needed. thank you
Brian - you are a hero!!
I don't have these exact fixtures but something similar. Mine go into a mode where it each pan/tilt setting can be set from 127 thru -127, I've tried several variations and nothing seems to get them to work right. This is a really great video tho and I appreciate your expertise! Thanks!
Brian. How do you programme so it doesn’t go rearward and light up the dj
Hi Brian,
You did an excellent job and very informative in this video!
My question is, after we hanged them on the ceiling, how could we set or change the program without the need of the dmx controller? The dmx controller seems too complicated and add extra hassle to me.
Thanks!
thank you for the thorough video it's what i been searching for. i just subscribed. what about keeping the heads from turning towards the dj? does this mode prevent that? i'm looking to sync mine like yours but also prevent them from turning backwards where the dj is. thanks in advance
Can you change the gobos in to "open light", & colours too?
Thanks for the info! I was looking for a way to run my gobos independently to music without daisy chaining.
Exactly what I wanted to know. Tilt inversion. Thank you!
Please more great info on moving heads 🙏 Thank you
Pretty nice video I was wondering how do you set the sensitivity you have to screen for one of mine to go off
Your DMx cable is just a XLR 3 pin right?
Is there a way to make them to pan left and right so they are not turning back to us on the stage
How good are these lights on a truss? From the looks of the video they dont point down much...they look like they were made to be hung upside down only
Will the modes work with RB-dmx1? Or does the RB-dmx1 override all that?
How would you make them stay down to light up the dance floor?
great vid... is there a way to set these so they face they crowd at all time, while upside down or placed on floor?
DJVetz510 Yes, I did a video on that in this moving head tech series about "show modes" ua-cam.com/video/ohgKfsgUPOw/v-deo.html
Your videos are very helpful thank you
I wanted to set it on a stand and have them pointed at the dance floor 80 percent of the time, is that possible?
I just saw your video and found it very knowledgeable. The problem I’m having now is that I have no SLND mode on my stinger spot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
What is the exact setting for sound mode here?? Yours follow the beat quite precisely
Hi Brian, I bought some moving heads 12x12 LED beam i wonder how I can program these so they only shine in front of the DJ booth, now thes shine all over the place (don't know what the X-axis fine tuning is or the Y)axis fine tunig..probably is this what i'm looking for, but I don't understand. Thanks!!
this is a good overview of the slv 1 and 2 its a good info
nice advice info....
Well explained made very simple to under stand and a great help to me newbie to lighting
Do you have any haze in that room?
Good video! Nice and clear, do you happen to know if you can control the master with DMX and the slave follows?
Does this also work when they are controlled by a DMX Controller?
Yes it does :)
Hey Brian. Excellent Chanel,
I’m just getting into moving heads. I picked up a pair of inno pocket spots.
How do you set them so they don’t point to the floor on a t-bar. Want settings do I use?
Could you change the gobos /colours too?
Man you are a Genius,, love your videos
How do you re align the gobos if they become misaligned?
ugh...that's soooo what i needed!
thank you kind sir
Hi Brian! Do you have video of Moving heads using DMX?
what if you put your slave only on tilt en leave the pan out, how would it look like?
Witch moving heads did you used?
Ok. I followed your instructions to the tee and i got it working. One night i pressed some button on one of the spots and now when i plug in my DMX cables it shows a number 1 on both inno spots. One moves around and the other is i guess for lack of words “confused”. It goes on and off, strobes the whole 9 but doesnt follow the Master for nothing! How can i get it out of that mode and make it work again? Do my settings have to be some way for it to work other than this video?
What about the "u king" pocket spots?.
They have a different program compared to the American D.J
. pocket spots
do the Showtec kanjo spots work the same way? with the slave 1 and slave 2 i mean?
question? after i set the master then on the slave does both Pan & Tilt have to be set to yes to get that look?
How many lights can I slave to the master light?
What about the gobos & colours, can they be changed with 5he controller?
How do I make this light stay steady?
i'm wondering what happens if you mix and match fixtures, like 2 moving heads and 2 uplighters... going to try tomorrow!
Great vid, I don't have adj version very similar though to my lights I wonder if the settings would be the same?! I like slow room scans.
Hi Brian, Any idea why both lights on pocket spots stop working stimultaneously? Both are brand new. Thanking you in advance
at least, wich one of from 4 Adj is the master or its doesn't matter? please explain, and thanx for Video
Cheers for the video. I just got 2 of the same lights and needed info on the settings :)
I had a quick question; If your two inno pocket spots are connected to a dmx controller and I am using the fixtures during a show where I have programmed them to a playback, can I somehow get the fixtures to run show mode during the interval of that show? Love your videos btw!

My movingheads start to respond to the music in show mode 4 and i can control them using the UC3 controller. All my other fixtures still respond to my DMX software.
How do you keep them on one colored light setting instead of multiple light design going off
Would I be able to apply these processes to my Lixada moving heads or are they not likely to follow?
OK, link to buy these or see how much? I hope they arent too expensive.
Awesome. This video is why I just bought the pocket pros. Thx!
Excellent informative vid
Hi Brian, when you use 4 moving heads, the 2 middle ones were program to slave 2. Did you use pan/ tilt move as well? By the way your videos are so informative and very helpful. Many thanks
with my Inno Spots... how do you adjust the hight on each, one seems to be higher then the other side by side.. thanks
Hey Brian, I just bought 2 pocket Pro's (love them) and they have obviously the same features as the ones you are talking about in this video but also degrees. I haven't messed around to much but I am hoping you can do a walk through on the features of the pocket pro and all what each feature means.

Is there a way so that the light face more towards the dance floor when you have them set up on the floor/Truss/Glow totem?
What truss/stand do you suggest for these, I seem to find bad reviews on so many on Amazon. Any suggestions?
Hi sir did you use dmx controller on that one sory newbie here
Hi, could you explain how to sync them with the beat and if there is a way to personalize their movement without passing trough a DMX controller?
I am sort of new to moving heads, I've purchased two of these and I love them but even with pan an tilt inversions they go all over the place like behind me I would like to keep them scanning only the dance floor if that makes any sense how do I achieve that?

You can find instructions on our website American DJ.com let me know if you have any questions jerrye@elationlighting.com
Got a pair of moving heads recently it has setting DEFA on it, what's is it?
I ran into a problem with setting up some mega-pars in master-slave mode. I read through the manual and could not get the second one to follow. Later when I got home I noticed they were set to different addresses. Are your moving heads set to the same address? or It doesn't matter? Thanks
Yeah both on DMX channel 1. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks for this Brian....you're very helpful in learning this stuff!
Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the amount of PAN angle? In other words I would prefer that the heads not pan (or tilt) to behind the stage where there is no one to see it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
can you limit the tilt range so it wont shine at eye level when on the floor or table
