Equinox Aluminium Lightweight DJ Booth System Mk2

great booth....disappointed with the white cover the black one is great but the white cover seems too small and has allready slightly ripped after being used twice.... sent an email to djkit.com over this but no reply

The product came securely packed in not one but two cardboard boxes which was reassuring. On pulling the carrying bag out of those boxes I was surprised at how heavy this new "lightweight"booth was - but you have to bear in mind that it was replacing a Gorilla stands "limelight" folding screen as my "frontage", which although of similar size, has less metal framework. At first glance the bag itself was extremely sturdy with well placed reinforced carrying handles/straps.On removing the screen I could see that both the lycras supplied came in their own individual zipped up bags that are of the same quality as the main bag. As for the frame, when you remove the grille shelves it becomes a reasonable weight - I guess that the shelves and shelve square tubing are in steel rather than the aluminium tubing the the booth itself is constructed from. After a few minutes thought, I removed completely the heavy screw in feet and the shelf finger screws from the booth - this relieved the weight by a substantial amount and is worth doing as it does not compromise the units function in any way. The joining and mounting of the shelf in the frame can be either a/ easy or b/ a bit of a faff depending on how you do it. slide together the shelf halves and with the booth in the "open" position but not fully open, slide one side onto the booth's side tube but do not locate it, then slide the other side on and then slowly push the sides apart until the tabs on the shelf drops onto the bar and locates. It works for me but your mileage might vary :) The black scrim was easy to drape over the frame but on a subsequent wedding gig, the white one's stitching broke at the lower corner and I just had about enough "scoop" to keep it attached to the lower corner of the booth side. The white scrim looks great with a couple of LED par cans lighting it up although I plan to purchase the LED starcloth at a later date. Overall a great addition to your setup, it hides the wires and looks professional but I'm sure a lighter aluminium shelf would have had me giving it five stars. The scrim stitching quality could be improved upon as well, although mine might have been a rogue item.

Having watched the video on this, I was incredibly excited to get one. Saved up for a while to afford it and was very excited to get it out. Sadly that ended there. The shelves hooks don't properly fit on the frame. The shelf you have to put on loose and then tighten after you've put it on because otherwise it doesn't fit. And it's heavy! Why so heavy for a lightweight booth? And the bag has developed a hole after the first outing. I've only used it twice! 250 pounds. I expected a whole lot more.
