Why dont hop sell these?

yup they have all colours in one stick!, it does have set colours that you can program but they also go through the spectrum.

*drools* mmmmmmm
well looks like im gonna have to start saving

I just made a 150cm staff, i call that long, not that im compensating for anything mind you

Aerotechs are much brighter and speckier than glowbug.... but much less reliable.... we've had to send the ruddy things back and forth from UK to get them fixed... and they always seem to be on a low battery after charging them for ages and compleatly naff and not work when you just really need them too (like in the middle of a gig)

and by the way.... Malcolm I think you are doing an awesome job with your resorces Everyone is SO lucky to have such an amasing sight as this with access to so much info and equiptment .:* .:*wishes there was something like this 10 years ago when first starting out*:.

moon pixie....i just had to send mine tech staff back, did they stick the new battery types in your techs, cuz i think that b4 they had put the old ones in mine, as it came back lighter than it left :S

did you know that aerotechs are to be on charge all of the time, the only time they are not plugged in to the mains is when you are using them, that is why you have battery problems.

*runs off to plug his in*

ah mine have the new software, and you can put them to sleep when they are fully charged and all will be ok

pk.. thanks for the tip, but we have had ours on charge permanently and still have no luck with them.. they just won't charge up... never have... We have hardly ever used them because of this... just been sitting in a corner (plugged into the wall) for a couple of years untouched
probably time to do something about it again since they were a very big investment..
We did send some of them back to the uk and they sent them back charged, but as soon as we used them again they lost charge and we couldn't get them to charge properly again.. we have obviously checked the chargers etc and can't work out what is wrong... we have 2 staves & a set of clubs and they all have the same problem...

...but this isn't really the place to discuss this.. I should email them directly again and see what we can do...

I think moon pixie just wanted to mention that our experience with aerotechs hasn't been so great...

no worries bec, i had the same problem with my swinging clubs a few years back but they sorted mine.

I remember a long time ago discussing this with malcolm too, he has a bunch of aerotech juggling balls that do not work, he said that for overseas repairs they lack they didnt really bother fixing them, or they fixed them and they just broke again and is now left with a few hundred quids worth of nice toys that dont work... gotta suck, its probably the inspiration for malcolms quality and promise that hop's store gives for its products that other such companies lack.

[if im in the wrong for mentioning malcolms name here please mods edit this post, i dont want to do my self or any other wrong by doing such].

I have to admit that aerotechs are not the best of quility, nearly every one i know has at some point had to send their toys back, my clubs had to be totally rebuilt, luckily for me a month before the end of their warrenty.

bec its not a nice feeling to know that having shelled out that kind of money that they just sit in the corner huh. i feel your pain and sorrow.

I've always felt there's a lot to be said for using batteries in glow equipment, preferably something easy to get and cheap like AA's.

I loved my aerotech strobe glo-balls, but one day two died at once while being charged

It's the rechargable battery or capacitor or whatever in aerotechs that generally seems to fail; whereas with battery operated kit (such as HOP beamers) there's not really that much that can go wrong (though there is the downside that if you mess up with beamers you get battered)

Well i kinda wanted to know if they were poo and that was the reason hop didnt sell em!!

MCP-when did i demand that hop sell anything?
i didnt did i,no so u can pick your dumby up off the floor now..apo-p's right i would rater buy things from hop so i know their good..

As far as buying an aerotech i dont think im ready to spend that much untill i have a good reason or untill i have abit more money....

so yeah does anyone think these staff are good? does anyone own one?

quick bit of defense for aerotecch: we've bought loads of stuff from them, never had to send anyhing back except when they were badly misused.

haveing talked to the guys at aerotech they had problems with loads of stuff which pretty much got sorted last year. now they are a lot happier offering guarantees cause their stuff doesn't break any more.

smilery
(and meg, get the dummy out of your mouth )
thanks loki, not laughted so much for ages

pk one of your clubs still wont charge, so ill be sending it back to get it fixed soon!

Well I spent a ton of effort to get Molly's aerotech to me to give it to her for Christmas (including having to PERSONALLY drive out to the airport to clear it through customs which I've never EVER had to do) only to find that it did not charge properly.

Was especially sucky cuz it was a present.

But it works now after sending it back to them to have them fix it.

is very odd me step, i hadnt used them since they came back from when i had the fixed up.
The put in complete new circuitry in those clubs because they all shattered and didnt work, you had them on charge permenently?... you may have to remember that they havnt been on charge for a long time while in my hands.

this is why i hate the whole recharger system!... batteries are way simpler.

bluecat, check your PM's

pk, one of the clubs, teh one that is desensitised, will come on for a few seconds and then go off, if you tap it into menu mode, it flashes once and goes off

its rather annoying!

illuminati is now funded!!!!!

BAD ASS!!!!!



when is teh official first release date?
