Focus Control 

 
The focus control alters the position of the rear lens to harden or soften the focus. It 
is the black control at the tip of the zoom control handle. To focus the beam, twist 
the focus control clockwise / anticlockwise until the desired focus is obtained. 
Twist the black control end several times to focus on shutters or gobo. 
 

Focus Scale 

 
 There is a reference scale below the zoom control handle to record cue levels.

The colour changer is located on the front of the followspot, and will take up to six frames of colour filter.  
For maximum filter life, please note the following:  
 

1.  Use only a quality colour filter (ie Supergel, Roscolux)  
2.  Place dark / saturated colours in the front frames.  
3.  Make sure there are no wrinkles in the colour filter, and it is held securely around the whole diameter 

of the frame. 

4.  Choose appropriate setting for the filter fan. 

 
 

Important note: When lifting the followspot, do not hold the colour 
changer. Use the side handles provided.
