- I finally got my hands on a MegaPointe! This is one impressive fixture. In this video, we check out all of the features and I offer my opinions on how I think this fixture will be used in the industry.
Thanks to Adam from Robe for bringing us all sorts of fun gear to play with for the day.

This is by far the most useful thing I´ve seen of the Mega Pointe so far. Haven´t yet seen or used one in real life. You and Adam actually go through the features in a way that makes sense to a pro, unlike most manufacturers' own demos that are usually just made to look pretty. Thank you!
I'm gonna put one of these in my bedroom.
PlamenDrop Or as a desk light
$10,000 for bedroom mood lighting. xD worth every cent
PlamenDrop good idea
I know nothing about lighting yet love this channel.
+Zak1387 thanks :)
Same!!
I like your opinion. You seem very fair and honest. I was never really married to one "brand" I think they all have a different style and application. I think this is true for even the cheap fixtures. It's the wisdom of the user that makes the fixture "good."
You rock. I left the industry a few years back. I am sure I will return in 20 or 30 years. In the mean time I am glad to watch your channel and keep up with the changes.
3:58 Guy in the background: "You still doing this taping shit? Guess I'll take another coffee break".
AwesomeShot Studios lol I was just about to say that
Thanks for your uploads
The trick you explained in an other video on MA was great. 10 scans moving from A to B. You stop in the middle copy all dmx info to a preset for use later . Amazing timesaver.
Absolutely love this light. Never seen it in person but would love to.
Saw the Mega Pointe demo at Plasa. Looks awesome, much better zoom range than the original Pointe. Thanks for sharing this demo!
for a fixture of that size the functionality is amazing. and theyre so lightweight. they weigh nothing compared to other fixtures love those thngs
Jo Christian I just want to thank you for all the amazing and valuable Videos. You have helped me out a lot and really got me into lighting. It has helped me out so much with my carerr.
Thanks
Jan from Germany
Grewop Same here man thanks a load C
I saw the mega pointe at plasa last year I think personally this fixture is a game changer in the lighting industry , I've worked with the colorspot 700s,1200s, 2500s and the BMFLs and I would not hesitate using the mega pointes in any event I do due to having the traditional robe reliability, great video
Recently had the opportunity to use 10 of these fixtures. They're freakin awesome.
Very nice video, this fixture is awesome!
Big fans of Robe, another fantastic fixtures!
Nice! I met Adam a few months ago here in Phoenix. Can't wait to see all that tour footage!!!
The Cylindrical lens helps preserve output power vs. Framing fixtures that mask off light with the blades.
Holy shit man offering training now, been waiting for something like this since I came to this channel. For sure contacting somewhere in the future. Good luck with catching up with all that footage :)
Have been looking forward to this for a while. Thanks for posting as I won't be able to attend the Megapointe launch in South Africa!
This is a proper high qulity christian. Its a proper cool fixture as well its sick
You are right with the new robe fixture.
megapointes I love them I have now over 70 of them for my production company best ones
So much love dude, thanks a lot for ur videos. Saludos desde Peruuuuuuu,
3:58 guy in the background is pissed! lol
😬. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
digging all your videos man
I wish SOOOOO badly the company I work for would move away from Jands Vista and into MA. On top of that, as cool as Chauvet's lights are getting I wish we would get into more brands. We sort of gauge our production sector on our install/sales sector where we won't stock what we don't sell. The region I'm in, the majority of our customers are churches... churches on budgets. I miss living in TX and working for a certain large touring company. This boutique AV company get me down some times. Anyway, enough complaining... Love that you're still making videos. I hope nothing but success for you, man!
I’m doing a school theater production this light may be good for theater
Aidan Carroll i think your school theater doesn’t have a budget for this fixture...😂
lol
we copy it in china. do you need ?
I think the T1 is more suitable for theatre (if there is the budget for it)
Thanks for sharing your feedback! Nice video ;)
Great video!
The Robe rep whistles when he says words with S in them...
Benjamin Penman
5:22 is a good example LOL
Wondering how the Robe MegaPointe compares to the Robe Esprite in your opinion 😊❤
That guy in the background at 4:03 👌🏻
i HEAR PORTER I FEEL HAPPY
Christian, id like to talk with you about a few projects id like some direction on. Architectural lighting and moving head/DMX effects
Hire an editor dude! Your channel has so much potential to grow.
3:59 left hand side
Angry man at 4:00 😂😂😂
this is my dream moving head
Fuck yes Bristian Backson
+Matt4K 🅱️🅱️
Did you already Used the Martin Mac Axiom? These fixtures Can Do the entire zoom range without choosing the "mode". I would love to see a video with these!
+Dampfhammer-5796 I’ve used them. Moderately impressed, not as nice of effects as the Robe in my opinion. This is brighter too.
Christian Jackson The MegaPointe has more output like the Axiom? Wow, didn't expect this, cause they have more or less the Same Lamp.
I had the Chance to use them next to some Vipers and Aura. Is realy impressive, how mich output These new "beam/hybrid" fixtures have.
And, i think Martin is are doing mostly very Kind of "simplistic" fixtures. How many of the effects are realy usable at the "every Day" festival/Show? I hope you understand, what i mean.
Btw. are you coming in the future to Germany?
glass > lamps
I'm that odd bird that hates gobos. I just want lasers shooting straight beams everywhere and not drawing pictures.
so. many. motors.
Hy Chris the MEGAPOINTE DEMO SHOW is something like crazy the 3 with 3D and from 9 gobo wheels to 400 one Gobo wheels and sometimes a diameter of I think 1 gobo up to 30 meters and the speed you are the best crazy LJ so crazy I couldn't go anymore looking away I thought Fall into the universe or the Gobos eat me like everything packed in cotton wool I have never seen anything like that although we also program lights but these are milestones away from you. So blatant and beautiful that is about dimensional and your lighting desks are top notch .. I love it so hot ... Absolute respect and hats off 💯% you are the only one I have so much pleasure experiencing myself. I already think that we will be shot into space every now and then - but that would be a very big wish to see something in terms of size and the hardware / software I only say a unique experience 🌠🤩🔥💥 if you are since not shooting into Nirvana then I don't know either !!!! Madness !!!
Greetings from Tom from Germany .... Letz fetz🤩🙃🙃 !!! This is not a baseline but spaceline !!!
Sorry i mean all what you make but the best is the 4 Big MEGA Point.. That's so awesome so beautiful ✌️🤩🌠🌟✨
What hazers have you been using during your shows? Great advice too!
Nice
This is some serious shit
It's awesome i would love to work with this
How would you recommend getting started in this career?
9:10 Lego >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mega blocks
+Stranck I agree but the Starcraft battle cruiser only is made by mega blocks
3:59 that dude’s triggered
How do you get to work on shows like that? What career path? It’s my dream to do what you do!
ROBE spiider?
Oh, might I ask... How fast was the pan and tilt? I was hoping you would say something about it. Is it like sharpy fast or was it fast for it size?
🤩
3:57 Guy in the background: OH COME ON I THOUGHT U WERE GUNNA PLAY FORTNITE WITH ME!!!
pls pls upload I love this stuff, also could you do a blog about how to get where u are - im 14
pointe mean punchline in Germany. Really not a bad product name
I want to have this Moving head
Wow
haha the megabloks in the background
By the way: How did you make that awesome website? :O
How much?
Oh hey I work there ^_^
You going to be at LDI this year?
+Kristopher Clemson trying to find someone to sponsor me to go and make some videos
Sweet. I'll keep an eye out for ya. Love the videos! You're the only LD TH-camr I've found.
Just out of interest....
Does anyone know what the software at 10:34 was, because it looks so awesome!
A bit late, but I'm quite sure it's Capture Argo.
are your shows usually programmed or do you freestyle them?
what program do you use to layout you stage setups?
Big chance he uses grandma 3D
what do you think about the DL4X?
0:34 but does it have gaff tape
How about qlimax they use all hybirds except some washes
How much do you think they'll cost?
+TheDJBrettHaley over $12k list price if I were to guess. Purely a guess. You’d have to contact sales to get a more accurate picture.
Epic ;oooo
How does this compare to the Mythos in your opinion? I know you used some in one of your videos
Guy's Sound and Light miles better in terms of reliability.
My first thought after this video: Goodbye Mythos, welcome MegaPointe.
How much ? And contact please
Is it led
What kind of dmx lighting controler you use. For this video.
GrandMA 2
How do you switch to spot mode???
Why do movinheads not use RGB LED?
Not powerfull enough and color/light quality is bad. Maybe in the future. There are lots of led based units, especially cheaper consumer ones.
Doesn't seem to have anything that a typical hybrid fixture doesn't have....
tiger touch 2 i have gone
I want 12 ... someone spot me some cheddar .... thanks in advance !
Y can’t I patch it in on my MA2
Have you thought about hiring an editor?
super
Hi everyone, does anyone know any program for MAC or Windows to play around with lightning? Its just for fun, not professional but it has been always my passion do this but im not able to find any reliable program.! Please if anyone knows let me know!
Thank you!
I hope im not too late, but here is software from chamsys secure.chamsys.co.uk/download its chamsys magicq lighting console for your mac or windows computer. There is one for malighting too, but if you dont have experience i would suggest to start with chamsys since its easier for amateurs. Good luck! If you dont understand something there is great amounts of tutorials in google or youtube.
I'm really late but you should download MA for PC and ma3d and learn MA
Which software is @10:30??
Capture Nexum
Worth about 750
MOORE VLOGS PLEASE :(
wow fuck law school i wanna do what u do
+redsharpiemarker hahaha
its called megapint ;D
Sick, but damn... 8 grand!
Really don't know why Robe are wasting time on this. The Spider is the direction that they should be going and developing that.
+Ceri Nicholls not sure what you mean. They are entirely different types.
Well, I guess this fixture only really serves one purpose. The spiider can cover what this fixture does plus a ton of other things. Discharge bubbles are a thing of the past, they are hot, volatile, expensive and not controllable. I thought robe had moved on many years ago from the "disco light" market.
Sorry but the spiider is more of a "disco light" than the MegaPointe! You don't seem to understand that these are two totally different types of fixtures. Spiider is an LED Wash that has the added benefit of the 60W Center LED that can be used as a powerful beam and throw some eyecandy in there with the flower effect (and obviously pixelmapping), but that's about it - don't see much difference to a B-Eye for example.
Saying Robe is wasting time with this fixture is not understanding that Megapointe is basically a Pointe 2.0 with all the improvements people in the industry have asked for since the Pointe was released and making it even more versatile than the original.
Also LED fixtures still are not as bright as discharge fixtures. They are slowly getting there (and I love our Solaspot 1000s) but it's still gonna be a while before they can replace discharge fixtures. We just had a shoot out between CP Scenius Unico, CP Axcor, HES Solaframe 2k, Varilite VLZ, Robe BMFL Blade and the two discharge fixtures were a good 20-30% brighter! And if you do shows inside a venue the size of NRG Stadium those 20% make a difference!
HAAAAAAA OK. It's not just a "wash light" at all.
@@Cerifwrdd The MegaPointe can be a Beam, spot and wash fixture all in one, whilst the Spiider is basically just the B-eye.
You're not dead? Wow :o nice video 👍
For a mere 29999.95 you can have one too!
well... more like 4 :)
Hyy sir
i want to learn too
that must be like 10k each lmao
