I have just bought a Dynatwin scanner after reading and watching the video on the prolight page. it has twin mirrors, 10 gobo's and 10 colours + white and full x y movement. it has an excellent strobe effect and, even though it only uses 2 x 100w dichroic lamps, is extremely bright. it is dmx and ca-8 compatible and is only 6kg. fantastic value for money.

please reply if you have one of these and share your thoughts

ive not owned one, but i have heard very good reports and reviews on these!

Good buy mate!

They are excellent lights.
Good value for money as well.

Have you just got the one?

i got 2 of them about 6 months ago and am very impressed with them.

Must admit I seen them on a web site and not in the flesh. The fact it was a 100w lamp did put me off. I saw them in the flesh at the DJ show North and have to say i was well impressed with them and the price tag.

look very good, the only thing that put me off was putting throught a dmx desk they wernt very good at slow movements but for more upbeat their spot on... nice and compact!

Saw them demoed at Disco warehouse in Barking, I must say I was impressed

After good reports of these, and being very impressed with the video on the Prolight website, i plan on buying one of two of these now!

From what ive seen, i recommend them!

I have two of these, very bright for 100 watts and a nice effect.

The only downside with the twins I must mention, is the weight.
They are good though, and the fact that they are only 100w bulbs makes no difference at all. They are as good as a 250w unit.
Make sure you get a CA-8 hand controller thrown in, as they are pretty handy.
Link 2 units together via DMX, et voila!
The strobe effect on the units are good as well.
Something else thats good is the fact that they can be freestanding on the floor due to them having 4 little feet.
The software on the twins is slightly superior to that of the single units. Don't ask me how or why - it's just what I was told.

Yes they are great lights!

I'm down sizing my gear so I am reluctantly selling 2 Dynatwins,the flight case & an DMX cable on Ebay if any 1's interested?

I have two Dynatwins......

Remember their is a 250w version available now too.

I like them......

But they have two problems in my oppinion.

1) The programms become a bit samey and dull after a while.
2) The in built S2L progs are a bit mad, they need to be slowed down a bit.

I have 4 of the Party Scans. Good value for what they are. I think i am going to use DMX to slow them down, but the very slow movement is pretty jerky as they are not proper stepper motors. As I say, for what they are, they are good and I'm not prepared to lay out hundreds on better scanners ... and then there is the cost of casing them too!

Blimey this is an old thread


I like the dynatwin - does the job and looks decent.

Worth a punt if you can get them at a good price....

has anyone seen the new dynamo scans with LEDs Clikety Click

Yes. Too few LED elements to be effective

thats a shame as everything seems to be going in the direction of LEDs lately.

as I said earlier ive got mine on Ebay (shameless plug sorry)


Ive got em at Buy it now for £245 this is for 2 Acme Dynatwins,Dmx Cables & Prolight fitted light case that holds both the lights.

had 1 guy trying to tell me thats to much & he can get em new for that price!

please have a look anyway guys
