HANDLING THE FOLLOW SPOT
GENERALLY THE BEST POSITION for the operator to stand is near the center of
the follow spot, on the right hand side, although the angle of tilt and the size of porthole may alter the
position for the most convenient operation.
EACH OPERATOR will, after a few minutes of operation, generally develop his or her
own system and preferred position for operating the follow spot.
THE VERTICAL TILT TENSION KNOB is located on the side of the housing adjacent
to the fade-out lever. Counterclockwise rotation of the knob frees the tilt tension, and clockwise rotation
applies tension. The individual operator can set his or her desired degree of tension.
OPERATION OF COLOR BOOMERANG
SEE THE “SETTING UP SPOTLIGHT” SECTION in the preceding pages of this
manual for details of the “Stowed” and “Deployed” configurations of the Radiance boomerang. It is
recommended to “stow” the color frames whenever transporting the spotlight.
THE COLOR BOOMERANG is equipped with six color filter gels containing the
following colors in order from rear to front: (1) Amber, (2) Flesh Pink, (3) Daylight Blue, (4) Light
Sky Blue, (5) Primary Blue, (6) Light Red. Keep the darkest or most dense colors (red, dark blue) to
the
front
of the boomerang, farthest from the bulb.
THE SIX COLOR ARMS are mounted to the side of the boomerang. To insert a color
disc in the light beam, move the proper color arm downward until the latch engages. To release a color
disc, raise the color release lever, or engage another color, thereby canceling the previous color.
TO REMOVE A COLOR DISC ASSEMBLY, release the arm and lift the color holder ring
from the arm bracket. To attach a color gel to a color frame, spray the flat surface of the ring (without
the channel clip) with an aerosol adhesive. Center the ring over a precut 12 by 12 inch (30 x 30cm)
gel, and press the adhesive-coated side onto the gel. Trim the excess gel material and install the color
frame into the boomerang. Only the six above-noted colors are supplied with the boomerang; additional
colors, and color temperature reduction filters, are available from theatrical supply dealers.
