Stairville Hz-200 Compact Hazer DMX

Seems pretty decent so far.
Tested it yesterday during a 3h+ band rehearsal in a room of about 75m3 of stage space. I used it mostly faded on DMX mode.
It doesn't take long to warm-up. If you use it cued, however, expect a small delay between tracks.
It's a bit noisy but not as much as to be a problem while the band plays its calm parts. There was a repeated pulse-like knock while both dip-switched and remote controled but nothing other than the usual operating noise while faded.
The amount of haze is very satisfying. When on 100%, the effect you get is more fog-like at first but if faded, you get a very pretty haze that lingers on.
After about 2 hours of continuous use, I can't see the change on its fluid levels. It should last for a few shows, even if abused.
The box looks good and sturdy, like it could last for quite a few in and outs if treated properly in the hands of a touring band.
Considering its price and category, I think it's a good choice.

Bought this hazer to have for parties in our large shed. It is a great piece of kit. Normally runs on the timer for about 5-7 hours each time we have a party.

Pros:
- It seems to be pretty economical on the fluid (Stairville PHF Pro Haze Fluid 5 ltr. is the one I use).
- Have used it 4 or 5 times now and not had any issues with it at all
- The haze is very light, the perfect amount for highlighting and accentuating the lighting we have. But doesn't really affect visibility at all
- The ability to adjust the vertical direction on the output head is great
- The ability to adjust the fan speed from off - gale-force wind is another super benefit which helps when adapting this fixture for a small, medium or large sized indoor venue.

Cons:
The only thing that comes to mind is the controller, the output and timer amount has no value assigned to them, so you have to just blindly play about with them until you're happy with the result. I think we have it active for about 4-5 seconds every minute for the whole night, with the fan set to around half-speed. That seems to do the trick and after about 30 minutes of it being on the beams stay highlighted for the rest of the evening.

I have been using this hazer regularly for the past 6 months now in a small theatre (capacity 120 persons) predominantly for live band performances, theatre and dance theatre, and it hasn't let me down once. The spread of the haze is excellent for the size of the unit, filling the room entirely and consistently (room size - 13m x 10m x 6m) with haze on full output setting in less than 5 minutes. The DMX control works perfectly while connected to a lighting desk or other dmx controller, allowing separate fader controls for output and speed - this allows me to place the hazer anywhere I wish in the theatre without being restricted by the length of the remote control cable (which is still a pretty decent length if the hazer is to be used manually on stage within 5m of the operator). I have yet to find any limitations to this product - the particle size of the haze may be slightly larger than a more expensive hazer but this hasn't put me off using it at all, and theatre lights look great with it. I would definitely recommend this product to someone on the same budget.
