Sega Home Star Flux Disc Review
Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
I bought some new discs. Jabba and associates, Jellyfish, Fireworks, Nebulae & Hot air balloons. Three overlay discs Mountains, Timberwolf and Sail boats
I've watched all the reviews of this Sega Flux. The very flash, professional guys with all the chat. But your review is by far the best. Thanks from Melbourne.
@@sishabadab6570 thank you. I did the same thing and was frustrated I didn’t get the answers I wanted
Orderd a projector i love it
How is the Scenic Disc installed?
Over laid on the slide
@@o0Koukla0o I have it. Thanks
Very good video. Makes you want more discs. I already ordered.😃
Exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the video.
I bought flux in 2019, as I kept it in packing for long time satin black finish rubber outer coating became degraded and sticky. 😢. I have used alcohol wipes and water now the rubber cover completely gone. It was soo shiny and crisp with that cover. Is there any possibility to buy it's rubber coating cover? I tried contacting sand blaster service here in Hyderabad, India, they all have no idea about it.
Hi! I'm still unsure which home planetarium to get, but in conparison to the DS-FX this one already has coloured dics available. But I am wondering: This video was now three years ago, could you tell me wether the colours of the discs have faded at all? That would be a con for the Flux for me. Of course the DS1 would be a dream, but I do not have that kind of money and international shipping is quite complicated with them...
No they are still as vivid as ever. But I keep everything in the box when I am not using it
@@o0Koukla0o Okay thank you so much!
I can’t find this one Amazon at all. Did they quit selling this?
This was a couple of years ago. I do wonder at the state of some of my slide if maybe it was second hand when I bought it. It was in great condition. But some of the slides were scratched
i am always surprised how du.. these "people are" whoever created these products, WHAT IF I DON'T WANT!!! THE ROTATION!! WT"! HOW AND WHY DID THEY NOT THINK OF THAT! i personally don't want to see the rotation! i don't want my eyes to hurt and feel dizzy! holy sh.. i wish i could meet in person sega cl0wns aka founders
You can turn the rotation off. But then you only see one portion of the slide
I'm considering the Sega "Flux" model - the idea of relaxing at night under the stars while cozy in my old four-poster bed seems quite appealing! Does the included "Disk" have the shooting-star feature? Appreciate your review, thanks...
Yes it does, but the shooting star comes up in the same place on the roof each time, but the disk moves the graphic around so it will s a different place on the graphic
@@o0Koukla0o Thanks, Jess. So cool!
Ya got ripped off. Unfortunately
Look I understand it’s not everyones thing. But I am really happy with it.
Many thanks for posting this. I have been trying to decide if this would be OK for my 4 year-old grandson and you have shown way better video of the kind of detail that this unit can project than I have seen elsewhere. So I'm off to order one now. Sega should pay you commission 🙂
Thank you, I did this because I was having trouble deciding what to buy. And listening to someone drone on was frustrating and didn’t answer my questions. I am glad it has helped you.
Cheers, nice and relaxing review, great music Jess.
Helped a ton. Great video, thank you.
Glad it helped. It’s hard work listening to some dude waffling
Mine seems to stay blury, do you know why this might be?
Do you have high ceilings? You may have to bring it closer to the ceiling. Are you using the focus function? Make sure the disc is clean and that the lens on the top is clean too.
Great informative review. Nice one mate. 😄
Thank you
Thank you for the review. It made me buy one. Which one goes first on the trey ? The scenic layer or the disc ?
The disc then the scenic overlay
@@o0Koukla0o I contacted Astrial and they told me Scenic first then disc...
@@o0Koukla0o "Dear customer Thank you very much for your message. Please put the scenic disc first, then the round disc. Best regards Your Astrial Team"
Oh well, it looks like I have been doing it wrong. Thank you for letting me know
Hey Jess, ever used the Dark-Skys DS-1 disc in the Flux? I just ordered my Flux but the DS-1 look awesome!
I would have LOVED the Ds1 but they don’t sell to Australia because they don’t have anyone to carry out warranty repairs. I haven’t tried the discs either
@@o0Koukla0o Ah well that kinda soothes the burn a bit. I'm in Melbourne so kinda good to know I had no choice. Damn it looked great though. Thanks for replying!
If you have friends overseas in US or UK you can order it their address. Get them to send it. But if it ends up with a fault it’s 1K down the drain
Does it feel like being in a planetarium?
The planetarium is a professional set up. This is a projection onto your roof. You lay on the floor and when set up correctly will cover your roof. It’s very nice and relaxing. But a planetarium with it’s multiple projectors and sound systems will always be more interactive
@@o0Koukla0o I was hoping it'll cover some of the walls
Could I use a smart plug to run the Flux with Alexa? If the power of the Flux is left on and the same plug shuts off, when the smart plug gets turned back on again, does the Flux automatically come back on?
I honestly can’t answer this. But I think leaving the projector open to dust all the time will effect the quality of the projection. My personal preference would be to keep it in the box until you use it. It automatically turns off after a period of time.
Do you have to place the homestar flux in the center of the room or can u place it off to the side
I have are rectangle lounge and I place it top and centre on the floor. You can have a bit if an angle but it does distort if you go too much
Is the light dimmable?
Unfortunately no, are you thinking of using it to go to sleep?
Where did you get that lens cap for the homestar flux?
It was in the box when I bought it
You metioned one Thing about ceiling height. My Englisch is not that good. Would you recommend the Flux for a ceiling height of 215 cm?
Yes should be fine. I had trouble on my high ceiling which was 8-10metres
Not worth it, I wish it had a higher lumen and remote control... Feels to cheap for $275 price tag.
Are the original discs compatible with the Flux?
Sorry could I get a little more information? Do you mean the Sega home star discs? The old version?
www.segatoys.space/en/public/discs.html
From what I can tell from Googling I don’t think so. But you might want to email Sega and find out.
Does this have a max running time of 60 minutes? Does it have a fan that keeps it cool?
Yesit does have a fan. You can set a timer. But if you don’t it does shut off by itself. It’s longer than an hour
Ok thanks
I tried to set this up last night & am disappointed 🤥 I hope I’m doing something wrong but I can’t get anything in focus (not even the center) I only have the original included discs but now I’m hesitant to buy more. I have heard the Miller engineering discs are much better but I’ve seen plenty reviews where even the original disc looks nice
Make sure it is on the floor. Or if you have a high ceiling pop it on a chair. Adjust the focus with the ring around the projection lens. I hope this helps
Does it work on a ceiling that is black in color?
I can’t answer that. I think the lighter the background the better the results
I just ordered the flux planetarium and can't wait to set it up, thank you for the video
Don't buy, mine stopped working less than a year and to get help they want your credit card ,charge $5 fully refundable...then why charge.look elsewhere. Don't buy !
Tbh it isn’t worth the money. Get the dark sky ds-1.
I would, but they won’t sell to the Australians because the warranty is void as there is no-one to service them here
@@o0Koukla0o I just saw on their website that they now "Ship Internationally." (?)
Do you think the ds1 is still the best?
Stumbled on to your video while I was trying to find out whether the Kmart brand one is crap or not. Lady, you put a smile on my face after a pretty garbage day. Reading through the comments, I’m not the only one who reckons you’re wonderful. Please do more reviews! And I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this thing. Jumping onto the Amazons right after I hit send in this to find one. Thanks for brightening up my day with you’re gorgeous energy - Jordan from Sydney :-)
Oh god, if you’ve seen my boat review you’ll Understand why there’s only two ha ha
Did you buy one in the end?
Well Jordan from Sydney you are welcome to add me on fb I do plenty of dumb stuff sounds like you’ll love it facebook.com/JessieDeexoxo
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day
Thank you, I’ve just ordered it with the nebula and air balloons.
How did you go? Do you like it?
I’ve never heard anyone abbreviate the words hemisphere or mezzanine before. 🙃
It’s hot here, too tired to pronounce full words.
Is there some special way to insert the discs? I returned a sega original partly because the rotation would jam and it didn't feel like it was only showing part of the image. It seemed like the discs had a lot of room to slide around when I put them in. I only used the original discs that came with it. I might try the Flux at some point since it's a LOT brighter, and the original needs total darkness. It also is very blurry around the edges.
I haven’t used the original so I really couldn’t advise you on it. But the model that I have they fit snug.
Definitely looks cool
This is exactly what ive been looking for!😍🌌 Great review and love how you cant hide your excitement because once im able to get mine i know i will react the same way!😄
"God loved us so much, when we were still sinners, that He decided to give up His son so that we could be saved. Jesus Christ endured all the pain and the suffering, so that we could be redeemed from our sins. Jesus had every single person, past, present and future, in mind when He chose to make that sacrifice. This is why we are able to identify as children of God. This is why we have eternal life. Dear God, I thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ, and the fact that He is the reason I have been saved from eternal damnation. Thank you, Father, that I am justified and redeemed thanks to your Son. Were it not for your great act of love, Lord, I fear to think of where I would be. Thank you, Lord, that that is a future I do not need to worry about. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
i have 1 of those bought it just before xmas , it's pretty decent i got the northern hem pack and the warped andomeda going to buy the borealis i think it projects lovely on the ceiling, needs to be in a pretty dark room tho
I adore your projector it’s beautiful and your energy is amazing. What is the music in the background at 6:06.
I am sorry I didn’t plan the songs, I just have SBS Chill running in my house as background noise.
How many o you put in the second plastic piece for the discs? I’m afraid I’ll break it. New discs don’t seem to come with instructions
Are you referring to the overlays? They just sit on top. The discs have specific grooves that slot in over the top of the projection disc. I did find that they are not very clear and the only one I found effective was the trees disc
Does the Aurora dance or move?
No the discs spin, but it is just a projector
Hi there, just wondering if the aurora borealis moves across the “sky” and changes colour or is it kind of still and the same colour? Thanks for the great review 😊
Please let me know if you find out, I'm curious too
It doesnt change color. Its a static image that rotates (cos the disc rotates in the device)
No, the discs are still. The projector rotates so the image spins, the disc also only shows a small portion so depending on the disc new parts of the image will rotate through. But the image on the disc is static
Your enthusiasm is contagious :)
Just ordered one, cant wait to try it!
Do the stars twinkle? it doesn't look like it. Still awesome though.
No because it is a projection
Lady, instead of looking at the fake sky in your room you better look what is going on on the streets in Australia:/ They're stealing your freedom
The streets of Perth are too bright to show all the stars. I still get out camping and view the real thing when I have the time and nightshift provides hours of night sky too.
@@o0Koukla0o What.a great video. We have the most beautiful skies and visibility where we live but jeepers I want one of these for INSIDE our home ha ha. Had not even heard of it before and think that you have done a sterling job of giving constructive feedback. Thank you.
I found Sega homestar original to resemble the dark sky more than flux. The northern hemisphere is too bright in flux. Will the original have issues in projecting Warped Andromeda or Nebulae? Confused which to buy- Flux or Original
Sadly I can’t answer that for you. I’ve only used the flux, but there is a guy on youtube who compares them against each other. That video may help
