I just found another fun feature. You can attach clamps to the feet and then hang the Mini 4Bar 2.0 from a truss system. The more I play with this fixture, the more things I find to do with it. The creativity is flowing.
The only differences on the 1.0 and the 2.0 is that the 2.0 is brighter, and the addition of DMX functionality. If you don't plan on using a separate DMX controller, I wouldn't worry about it, assuming you got a decent deal. The 2.0 can be synced to other 2.0s, and some other fixtures. The DMX controller will give you the ability to create custom programs not contained in the fixture itself, but is not necessary for operation. I believe the 1.0's can be sycned, without a controller, as well.
No, the lights have to be attached to the bar to work, its a 4-pin screw-in connection. Take a look at the SlimPar56, I've got 20 of those, that's what I use for uplighting, they work great.
Those fixtures are very close in output, I think two ColorPalettes will be slightly brighter at the fixture but at the dance floor the difference would be negligible. It really will depend on what you plan to use them for specifically, I like the look of ColorPalettes but that is personal opinion. Also, ColorPalettes are easier to program, if you plan on using DMX. The Mini 4Bar 2.0 is easier to aim in multiple or odd directions. Otherwise it's all about the look that you're going for.
Hi, I just came across your clip...I actually just got 3 sets of the mini pro 4 bar...I didn't realize I wasn't getting the newess model...should I make a fuss and switch them for the 2.0s? Also..do you need a seperate DMX controler on the 2.0 or as long as you link them up to one another they're sinked? Correct me if I'm wrong but thats the only way you can link the older model...is if you have a controler...
alright. ill definetly check those out. but i could really use some good uplighting. would you recommend something like a probar led light bar or something??
@coldpizzarules As of the date of recording there was no price set. I found them for $279.99 (google search)but don't quote me. I don't think anyone has them in stock yet. That may be a question for the folks at Chauvet. Hope that helps...sort of.
I'm considering gettin these not for dj gigs but for uplighting on a stage. Or even wash lighting. Can they be detached from the bar and used indevidualy like the mega pars??
@ParadoxProLive No trolling my friend. There's a balance between being efficient & effective. You're review is very effective but the review could have been edited for efficiency. I meant it only as constructive criticism. Look forward to more or your reviews.
not unless you want to spend a bunch of money one fixture. uplighting gets beat up, because it's on the floor, so i'd be careful about spending a lot of money on floor mounted fixtures. But hey if you've got the cash... If you want a bar type fixture, take a look at the ColorRail.
great vid

Very informative and in-depth review! Glad you like the Mini 4BAR 2.0!
Very nice video brother! I don't think there is a single thing you forgot, and that is a plus. Thanks again for the video.

try put your field monitor under your lens, lets it look like you're talking to the camera while still letting you see what's in frame ;D great review

Great review! Will these work with Obey 4? I'm new with DMX. Thanks!

@ParadoxProLive Keep making 'em and I'll keep watching!
@xSonsofNerox Yes, it can be set to sound active.
Thanks for watching.
I'm considering gettin these not for dj gigs but for uplighting on a stage. Or even wash lighting. Can they be detached from the bar and used indevidualy like the mega pars??
I may have missed it, but do they have sound activation like color palettes?
Different tools for different jobs. It all depends on the look you want.
@ParadoxProLive Must have a little parakeet in your lineage. Hahaha. Thanks for the video, bro.
What would u lean more towards. A bar type led or more of like a par profile type led.
Yes, definitely.
@uhwaykin Aw, not cool. :) Thanks for watching!
it's a cool effect
@ParadoxProLive hahahaha best comeback
@ellaskins yeah totally forgot to flip my viewfinder back over. I just can't help looking at myself.

ps, remember to look at the camera....;)
@arolon1965 Didn't mean to slow down your trolling speed. :)
@ParadoxProLive alrighty, thanks!
how much was it?
Can it be sound active
@CssFrozen (added to 'to do' list)
I like you're review but you could have done it in half the time.
