Great review as always. Looks very enticing and convenient as heck! However The price per watt hour is way too high. I understand they have to reduce the power to make the battery last but $1200 for 60W is a bit much.
Daryl, if possible, I'd love to see a shootout between this and the Chauvet ILS 60. My use case is a little different, I use battery powered pars and both tubes for bands I work with. I use Di-Fi for the pars, and wireless dmx for the tubes, so I could go either way with regard to Jmaz or Chauvet.
Hey Daryl! Love your videos. I have a quick question. I have a bunch of Rockville Par 50s which have dmx capability but i think would need to be hooked up via a soundswitch transmitter like the one in this video, and separate wireless recievers right? I am also hoping to get the both titan tubes and integrate them all together, which i know have wireless dmx. Would I need two separate transmitters (one to address the titan tubes and one to address the rockville lights) or could I do all of that with one transmitter? Lastly which transmitter/receivers do you recommend? I know thats a lot, any insight is deeply appreciated!! Thanks
The Rockville Pars seem to have the normal wireless dmx protocol built-in, so a normal wireless dmx transmitter should work! I like these amzn.to/3POdsa0
I love JMAZ because they try to be innovative, but…. I bought a Versa flex a year ago and it fell apart after a dozen gigs. Sold it and bought a gig bar ILS, like 90% of wedding DJs. It’s going to be the same for this mover: it’ll work great for a while then it’ll start to glitch, pieces will fall off, the buttons with stick, and some things will break inside. They are just not built to the same standards as Chauvet. You will regret not buying the ILS Free spot 60. Same MSRP, 70watt, and built to Chauvet standards. It DOES have the built-in D-Fi transceiver, you should edit your video. The JMAZ fixture is completely overpriced to compete with Chauvet.
I said that it has the d fi transceiver, I just said that I don’t want two transmitters to control my lights. I wish the chauvet just accepted normal wireless dmx. Sorry about your experiences!
@@DJDarylBennettI’m confused by your reply. The ILS spot 60 does come with built-in dFi transceiver yet in the video you make the point of saying it’s a pain to plug in an extra plug (which is fair for other fixtures, but untrue for the Spot60) and dFi does transmits DMX so you can use a normal DMX controller. One controller for all your lights. That’s what I do. I have both lighting S4’s, IR4’s, ape labs, AND a gigbar move ILS AND spot60 ILS, all controlled with one single DMX controller (ADJ MyDMX Go). Love your RUclips content, but this video is very misleading, the Chauvet Spot60 ILS is arguably far superior to the JMAZ.
@@Realdjheisenberg D-Fi is a different protocol from normal wireless DMX (chinly, donner, built-in both lighting). So to control a free spot and leverage the built-in wireless DMX functionality, One would need a separate D-Fi transmitter to control just the freespots, and another transmitter to control my both lighting stuff. I know Chauvet does that to tie you to their ecosystem, but it alienates a lot of users too.
@@DJDarylBennett I see what you're saying, but still I do control everything with one DMX controller. Dmx controller out to Ape labs connect, out to donner, all controlling my ape labs and gig bar move and moving spots, all wirelessly, only one controller. DJ Peck posted a video on that set up, a while ago, too. It's admittedly very clunky but it works... And yes a "uniformed wireless system" would be great, but no manufacturer has any incentive to do this, unfortunately. They all spent a lot of R&D money to develop their own wireless systems. What you are saying is another misleading comment by the way: the chinly/donner transceivers are not DMX either, just like the dFi ecosystem. None of them are "normal wireless DMX". All of those systems are just "wireless transmission devices" using a narrow band around the same 2.4gHz frequency. There is no such thing as a "normal wireless DMX". DMX is a sequence of instructions. Like I said before, I'm a big fan of your "no-nonsense" approach to honest reviews, but if you want to grow more influential, you have to be more accurate in what you say, especially the technical stuff. That's how you will establish yourself as a reference in the field :)
@@Realdjheisenberg I haven't said anything inaccurate or misleading. DMX is a protocol. There's various types of wireless transmission systems to get the DMX signal from point A to point B, converting the signal to radio waves. The general usage of "wireless dmx" is referencing the transmission layer, not the contents of what is being broadcast. I have never heard anyone do so until your comment Many (if not all) of the wireless transmission systems operate on the 2.4gHz band but aren't compatible with each other (CRMX, W-DMX, D-Fi). There's a "normal wireless DMX" that doesn't really have a name, but many fixtures have it built-in, and they are all compatible with each other. Both Lighting manuals reference it as the Guangzhou Protocol, most companies just call it "wireless DMX".

THANKS DARYL I'VE HAD THE LIGHT AND DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BUILT IN DMX I WAS USING A DONGLE .
Now I saved you like 20s at every gig! :D
I really like how you think with keeping it all wireless and making a more practical setup!
Thanks! Everything we can do will help ease our nerves and positivity impact the client experience!
Great video Daryl! Love the idea of this mover, I would need at least 100w to be bright enough in 2024.
Fair enough, thanks for sharing your opinion!
battery power and built in DMX sounds awesome, would love to take a couple to the beach with my battery powered setup.
Yeah man, I’m super pumped for them
Great review as always. Looks very enticing and convenient as heck! However The price per watt hour is way too high. I understand they have to reduce the power to make the battery last but $1200 for 60W is a bit much.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
It's advertised as 60W, but the LED is driven significantly less.
Daryl ..What up ..
I appreciate the review & your time..😎
Any time

Yeah that’d be awesome! I’ll see if I can make it happen
I contacted Both lighting and they have a new 100watt battery powered mover and quoted me 995 for two shipped in a hard case to the us.
We'll just have to wait and see!
When they be announcing them? I don't see anything on the China web site
@@inthemix2805 I reached out and chatted to an associate not sure they are in their website yet
you got a link?
curious what your most used way place and mount these?
I’m trying the Rockville go totems right now
Do they come in white been looking but not seeing any?
No they don’t
Thank you for this awesome video will share this to our social media!
Heck yeah dude! Share away
Hi do you know if they are available in UK, clicked on your link to Amazon , non in stock and unknown when they will have any , good product
Not sure who the distributors for jmaz are in the uk, I’d reach out to jmaz and ask

@@DJDarylBennett thank you so much!! Super helpful
I'm going to have to wait for the prices to come down. Battery powered is a great option though.
Nlfxpro has some really good pricing! Ask them for the discount, tell them I sent you :D
Great video 👍 Do they come in white version ??
Nope unfortunately not
Can u change out the gobos to other gobos u may want to use?
Not as easily as some of the other movers I tried, but unscrewing the top, you can access the gobo wheel, so I think it's possible
Do you have the name or link to the Chinese version $600 version? Does Both in China make one? I'm loving my 360 tubes as well as my ir4 uplights.
It's $600, if you buy at minimum of 50 lol It's not both lighting. Can't remember their name
@@DJDarylBennett It’s the OEM for most of the JMAZ products. Brighten focus is their name I believe
@@croissantproductionsyeah that sounds right
What chineese company makes battery movers?
Some unknown brand, I can’t remember. They don’t really market to end consumers, as their minimum order was 50

Not very impressive.
In what way?
@@DJDarylBennett it’s not very bright. Most of us can’t use haze and turn the lights down so it’s pitch black.
Good review.
I have some questions about your soundswtich tutorial. Where can I email u?
