Finally a fully-fledged miniature hoist for practical electrified effects. Spotline Practical is about the size of a small piece of carry on luggage but packs all the mechanics, motion controller, brakes, limits, and other electronics needed to meet ANSI E-1.6-1 2012 industry hoisting standards.
Whether flying a bare light bulb or an array of LED fixtures, Spotline Practical can do it. Flying lights just got easy.
Two clamps, a few cables, and you’re finished. Spotline Practical is a Smart Machine with brains on-board. No separate Stagehand controller is required. Plug it into the wall, give it an Ethernet connection, and a Showstopper cable and start writing cues. Use the built-in lighting circuit to power your chandelier and watch it glow.
It’s small size and weight make it easy enough to take up in a manlift. Because it only needs 120V input power it’s perfect for conference centers, banquet halls, classrooms, or black box theaters.
The 300W brushless servo motor packs a big punch in a small package. Quick, yet strong, this little guy can wind up your cable in the blink of an eye.
Servo motors are power dense little devices. Nearly 1/8th the size of the equivalent A/C induction motor, the Spotline Practical is still able to lift scenery quietly and quickly.
Moving scenery can be tricky business. Lifting scenery, regardless of size or weight, can be dangerous. Spotline Practical doesn’t skimp on the safety for the sake of size or cost. Value-engineering should not come with a safety risk to your show.
Lift scenery safely knowing Spotline Practical includes dual brakes, slack line detection, category 0 emergency stop, and Creative Conners’ Persistent Position. Spotline Practical knows where your scenery is and how to stop it if something is out of place.
