0:01 It's on this guy here, it's the Cam LED Quad Tricks

Alright guys, Jonathan here and I'm going to do one of these sort of punk style lighting demo kind of things. It's on this guy here, it's the Cam LED Quad Tricks. Now if you want to get punk and real, this is I suppose in a sense about as punk and as real as it gets because I'm a guy in a room with lights on, with a bunch of smoke out and the light is here in the box. So what I'm going to do is take it out. Right, that's how it's packaged. It looks like something out of Star Trek, but I suppose at the end of the day, one good thing, it's not going to break. And power supply, take it open, or take it out should I say of the pack. I have done a quick vid on this before, but I used a different power adapter. So what I'm going to do now is the back. Right, what we have is, alright you can't see it,

1:38 There's your plug into the wall

It's your stereotypical in-out DMX, sound to light, master-slave, that kind of thing. Power in, you've got an eye there so you whang that on your T-bar and if you're putting this on a light trussing rig, that there is for a safety chain. And you have there at the back, trust me on that, a small little dial for microphone intensity and there is the microphone pickup for sound to light. It's as simple as that. There's your plug into the wall. That is the UK version, slightly different for European and not too sure about the US actually. And that in the UK is what we would commonly call a kettle lead. In other words, that's the sort of thing you plug in a kettle. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to put that in there like that and that through over here. That there, I'm going to do that. So I'm just going to set it up so it'll be stable.

Just have a look. Bearing in mind, I've got the lights on. Alright, there it is. I'm not going to do any editing whatsoever with this. If it goes blurred, tough. You're going to see it as it is. But now, oh there you go, it has gone blurred. Right, take the camera off the stand and I'm going to turn some lights off. And there you go. Right, let's just back and forwards. Okay, it's all over the things. Right, there you go. This is about as punk as you can get, like I said. This is real. Forget the professional editing and software and fantastic music in the background. This is some bloke in his house giving you a demonstration of a light. That's what you want. You don't want the frills, you want it as it is. And this is precisely as it is. There you go.

3:34 I'm going to go behind the light now

Alright, let's have a look at the wall. I'm going to go behind the light now. Alright, I'll be honest with you, it is your stereotypical LED light. It does exactly what it says on the tin, but it's bright. We've got some cool effects. Bearing in mind at the moment, it's actually doing its own thing when you have to consider it will do sound to like Master Slave, DMX, that kind of thing. It's like anything really, if you've got a DMX controller, you can get some really decent light shows I would have thought. Right, let's go back and have a look from the direction. Right, I'm going to try not to fall over. Blew it again. And LeBox. OK, now, fair dues, well secured. And Instruction Manual. There you go, Cam LED Quad Tricks.

Four lens multi-beam scanning LED effect. Need I say any more? It does exactly what it says on the box. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
