User reviews

Great lighting control even if you don’t want to be a light board op!

As a gaffer, I mainly use it for lighting control. For big setups, a small crew or just minor adjustments during an interview, it’s well worth having. It’s easy to learn the basics. I’ll get a a board op for heavy control/effects days..
