Rosco Model 1700 Fog Machine: Affordable and Expandable

Rosco Model 1700 fog machine

Chainable, State of the Art Technology at Lower Cost — Put a Few in Your Theater or Club

Anyone with an unlimited budget can develop a long-life, high-quality fog machine; it took Rosco's expertise to build one that was affordable and energy-efficient, too. The Rosco 1700 gives you a powerful initial blast of thick fog and ramps back to continuous fogging at whatever volume you need without interruption for reheating.

The Rosco Model 1700 delivers output equal to or better than previous models, but draws less power — 1190 watts — to decrease operating costs. It has been re-engineered to use fewer parts, meaning it is easier to maintain and is more reliable in general. It's perfect for theater or rental applications.

Rosco fog systems

  • 120V and 240V versions available
  • Size: 19.5" x 9.75" x 8.5"
  • Weight: 22.5lb
  • Power: 1190W (220-250V)
  • Fuse: 12.5A (120V)
  • Maximum fluid use: 3 liters per hour
  • Warm-up time: 8 min.
  • Optional carrying case

Multiple Model 1700s can be daisy-chained, allowing up to four machines to be run from a single remote control. The included remote control has a 15-foot cable, stores on board, manages volume and timing, and can be extended with 50' and 100' cables. The optional DMX interface allows for connection to your lighting control board.

The fog outlet cowling uses the standard Rosco hose adapter and ducting hose system. Furthermore, it's compatible with the entire range of Rosco fog fluids, accepting four liter bottles. And if you've invested in other Rosco fog products, you'll be glad to know that the Rosco Chiller Module and Rosco Coldflow match perfectly.

Weighing only 11 pounds, the Alpha 900 is highly portable and compact, and accepts the full range of Rosco fog fluids.

This Daylight-Balanced, Low Power, Portable Flat-Panel LED Light Source Unleashes New Lighting Possibilities

The engineers at Rosco have really outdone themselves this time.

Less than ½" thick, generating virtually no heat, weighing next to nothing, and able to run off AC or 12-volt DC sources (battery or car cigarette lighter), LitePad is a truly revolutionary product.

    LitePad sizes

  • 3"x6"
  • 3"x12"
  • 6"x6"
  • 6"x12"
  • 12"x12"
  • 24"x24"
  • 3" circle
  • 12" circle
  • Custom sizes up to 48"x96"

You can fit LitePad anywhere. You can put it as close to your subject as you like — use it to light up a glass of white wine, and the wine will still be cool when you're done shooting. You can use it for 3-point studio lighting. You can dim it. You can run it for hours off AA batteries. You can hang it around your neck, if you're so inclined (or if it's Halloween.)

We did some tests using LitePad as a shooting surface; have a look at these sample pictures that show what you can do with small still-life subjects and a low-heat light source.

Vegetables and leaves are easy to photograph with LitePad to get great, daylight-balanced color with no heat.

LitePad gives you tons of new photographic possibilities by itself, but for even more options and control, take a look at the accessories. The following video examines the single-fader dimmer and the AA battery pack:
