Robe RoboSpot Now In Stock

Robe RoboSpot Basestation

We are pleased to announce another of our recent investments, the Robe RoboSpot. The addition of the RoboSpot system to our inventory was an easy choice. It perfectly complements our already wide range of Robe fixtures, including; BMFL Blade, MegaPointe, Spiider & 150 LEDBeam‘s. The system makes it easy to create followspot positions wherever they are needed within a lighting rig. However there is no longer a need to put operators into the rafters, they can operate with their feet firmly on the ground. We are excited to get our new systems out onto projects this Autumn / Winter.

If you are interested in hiring a RoboSpot System, please get in touch with our team via Email, App or submit a myQuote request.

Introducing the revolutionary RoboSpot follow spot system. A device that allows follow spot operators to remotely control up to 12 fixtures simultaneously without the safety concerns and impracticality of placing personnel at the top venues such as stadiums, indoor arenas, concert halls, theatres, TV and film sets. Stunning visual displays are now possible with as many as 12 perfectly synchronised fixtures following a performer across the stage.

Storm Launches the Storm App

Storm Launches the Storm App

Today, Storm are very excited to announce the launch of the Storm App. An app that features a comprehensive rental catalogue with detailed information about each product including; Specifications, Accessories and direct access to Manuals, Datasheets and DMX Charts. The Storm app also includes key utilities used by many freelancers whilst working on productions. Including; DIP Switch Calculator, IP Ratings, Electrical Calculator, 3 Phase Information, Audio Delay Calculator along with many more utilities.

The Storm App has been designed to give users quick and easy access to product information and easy access to on-site utilities to help technicians. The Storm app reduces time spent finding documents and having multiple apps installed. All whilst enabling greater productivity across departments.

Storm wanted to provide an app that was accessible to all users within the entertainment industry. It was built with both established designers, technicians and crew. As well as those just starting out in the industry in mind througout the development process.

Storm’s Rental Manager, James says, “Our new app really does offer a new way to interact with us as a business. Giving users 24/7 access, anywhere in the world, regardless of whether the client has internet access or not is a brilliant feature. I know plenty of times I’ve needed to look at a manual or DMX chart, then had to spend the next 10 minutes looking for it either online or in the production drawes. This way, they’re already in your hand without any effort at all.”

He continues, “Adding the most popular utilities used by freelancers whilst they are working on site was another key feature we wanted to include. This makes our app a universal support tool for any designer or technician. Regardless of what project they are working on. We wanted to be able to offer a tool that can be a benefit to the whole industry. From established designers and technicians and to those just starting out. I really do think our app does just that.”

How To Get Our App

The Storm App is available worldwide on the App Store and Google Play Store from 16th June 2021.
