A great little gobo projector!A while back I’d tried the big ADJ Quad Scan, but the four projectors were too close together, and the mirrors did not swing as far as I would like them to have.Although you only have just the one mirror, the Inno Pocket Scan at least swings the mirror through nearly 90 degrees of arc.The intensity of the fixture is such that the gobos are quite visible, even in medium lit rooms of not much more than 20 feet long, and wide, with 9 foot ceilings.When setting up, be sure not to look directly into the optics while the fixture is lit. It’s bloody bright.If you’re only using two of these in a room about 12, to 15 feet wide, you might want to mount one on each end of your truss, and point them toward the opposite corners of the room. This provides the least dimensional distortion of the gobos, and gives the illusion of much wider coverage. I like to point these so the gobos glide along the top of the walls, corners, and floors. Not the ceiling, as the gobos look too distorted going along the ceiling.The scanners start up blacked out, and go through a power on self test for about 10, to 15 seconds, during which the mirror is moved through different ranges of motion several times. After that, they light up, and operate normally.In sound active mode, they slowly swing their beams around the room. Once sound is detected, they come to life immediately, and react nicely to even one’s foot stomping on a wood floor. That makes these extremely suitable for home use, where volumes need to be kept down.I’ve yet to check out the fixtures in DMX mode, but most of my work is done sound active mode for now, while I learn DMX control.About the only knit-pick I can think of that’s kind of annoying, is the sound of the motors when music is not playing, or very soft. Also would’ve been nice had these units come with metal protective plates to cover the mirrors while in storage.No big deal, really.I do wish ADJ had used the snap in IEC like on their Profile Panels. You have to really make sure to push the power cord into the connector, or you’ll think the worst when the fixture does not wake up.I like how ADJ placed the power, and data connectors on the back of the unit. This really helps shorten cable runs, and make cabling look neater from the audience side.I also like how small, and light these units are. Makes for easier setup, and storage.

LOVE LOVE LOVEI bought 5 of these for the dance floor of my bar and hooked them all to each other via DMX. I didn’t have to mess with the DMX controls at all. They all synced up automatically and move in unison to the sound of the music. SUPER bright and when you add fog to the mix, they really put on a show! Not very many patterns but I love them nonetheless. I will eventually program them to my DMX controller but for now they work GREAT!

Caution! No DMX Channel for colors.The fixtures are certainly affordable, and create a good bang for the buck. But I wish ADJ had advertised a little clearer that the 8 colors are dedicated to individual gobos.More specifically that they do NOT have their own DMX for the colors, as I purchased the MyDMX controller to compliment the setup. But is completely underwhelming given you lose 1/2 the functionality with no DMX channel for color.Working independently or Slave Mode is OK for most small crowds or parties (1-4 devices), but certainly wouldn’t recommend it if you were looking for 8+ animated fixtures or something more complex.

Amazing Lights!Great Little Lights! Highly reccomend purchasing a pair as they can be synchronised together to give a really professional looking light show!Great with or without smoke/fog. Perfect for Small & Medium venues.For Mobile DJ’s & Small bars these are amazing lights! Good value for this design of light & built well.I have linked my pair of Pocket Scans with a pair of Pocket Rolls, that when connected together create a really amazing effect!
