“I first saw their F2 laser on Amazon, so I contacted the actual manufacturer. They recommended their M2 lasers, which offer more updated functionality (like Bluetooth control) for a lower price than the F2. I can use it to draw my own patterns and send them to the laser for control via DMX.
I plan to use Ableton Live to send OSC signals to QLC+ to trigger scenes, chasers, and sequences. You can’t beat the price for this laser.
Also their auto light show with sound sensitivity is fun to play with too if you don't want spend time to program your own show.
Please be cautious: The laser is very bright, I brought them to a friends party and they are amazed at how bright it is, so never point it towards your eyes. Consider taking a class on laser protocols and wear sunglasses when working with the light.
Pros:
- Price
- Small size
- Comes with a tripod stand
- Custom patterns using Bluetooth connection with their Hy Laser APP on Android devices
- Online customer service was fast and responsive (during daytime in China)
Cons:
- No yellow color (not a big deal for beginner laser enthusiasts)
- Instruction booklet doesn't match the DMX channels
- Need a more accessible app tutorial (I figured it out with help from customer service Alice)
Overall it's very versatile. Good for parties or to program your own show on a budget.
I may update this review after I figure out my whole show pipeline.”
