As a response to the need for an easier way to control the movements of Intelligent Light Fittings (Mac 250, 500, 2000 etc) so they could be used as a followspot etc I have started this poll to help discover if there is a demand for this as trying to do it via the control wheels on the Frog series is very difficult to accomplish.

 

If you choose 'Other' please leave a reply stating what you have in mind.

Out of all the things I've lost it's my mind I miss the most!

I choose "Happy wheel user"

I think its a little tricky to drive fixtures with a Joystick or Trackerball

have you ever use the Scancommanders Trackball with moving haed in a live situation ? - its dammed difficult to move that nice and slow like a followspot.

I choose the default wheels, but probably a gaming Racing wheel including pedals could be great.....*LOL
