KindredHyperion Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, so do move it if it's not. Right. I'm trying to choose between a Leapfrog, Strand 300 or Jands Event 408 for control over 24 channels of generics and 9 movers. I want to be able to do both cuestack-theatre stuff and music busking easily, and I want to spend around £3.5k. This is for a school. So. You're all Frog fans, tell me why I should choose the frog. (Apart from it's cheaper) Adam Quote
Martin Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 -The frog is very easy to use, major advantage when using it at a school! -As already said the great and fast online support that you can't find anywhere else. - Is great for both theater and busking a live show - it is cheaper - it is possible to make verry nice events and specials light with the remote control... And finally its green Quote Move while dark! -> GOGOGO! Thank you Zero for the FR 5402
sp Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 Hi Adam, welcome to the forums. Couple of topics I remembered from the past and dug-out for you, asking a similar kind of question, especially the latter: This one and this one Hope these help, sp Quote
NZ Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 Hi It is never an easy question to answer. Everyone has an opinion and a thought process about how they like to program. The only thing i can say is that we sell lots of Frog series consoles all around the world to all types of applications from schools to theatres to concerts. From this you can see they are used in all types of applications much like you are looking for. As others have said the forum is a good resources and also gives you an indication of the users we have. Other things i would point to: Free training 3 year warranty Ongoing software support for free including V10 in a months time. Graham Quote Graham
sam.henderson Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 The advantage of the Frog in a school is that all the fixtures and channels have physical faders or fixture selection guttons which means you don't have to teach command line syntax etc. Sam Quote Sam for a interactive training suport program on how to use your fat frog effectivly why not look at my frog training program-
Frog Genius Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 The frog is also very hard wearing, the merchandise is great :wink: and if you need to clean it ice has a great thread about it ... Cleaning a Frog Quote
