These modes include a 360-degree rotation, which allows the Raven to unleash its visual magic by sweeping gobo patterns allover a dance floor. The other two modes are: back and forth rotation, which can pinpoint objects horizontally; and a stationarymode, which is great for spotlighting a particular scene. Equipped with one random gobo pattern, the Raven features a detachable 4-mirrored prism which divides the gobo into four images.Used with the Ravens rotation mode, these gobos will flutter throughout the room creating excitement as they sweep throughout acrowd.
