Chauvet Helicopter Q6 Multi-Effect Light

Helicopter Q6
The Helicopter Q6 is a multi-effect light built to dazzle and energize the dance floor. It combines three effects in a single fixture: adjustable RGBW beams, a round SMD strobe, and a red/green pattern laser, all mounted on a rotating base with continuous pan rotation. This combination produces effects unlike any other light in its class, making the Helicopter Q6 a versatile centerpiece for any lighting rig.

Razor-Sharp Aerial Beams
At the heart of the Helicopter Q6 are six independently positionable RGBW beams. Each beam is narrow and razor-sharp, creating astonishing aerial effects that slice through haze and fog. Because each of the six beams can be aimed independently, operators can achieve maximum room coverage, tailoring the spread of light to fit any venue size or shape. The continuous pan rotation of the base adds a dynamic, ever-changing quality to these beam patterns, ensuring the effect never feels static or repetitive.
Rotating Laser and Strobe
Layered on top of the beam effects is a rotating red and green pattern laser, which produces thousands of razor-sharp beams that cover a large area. This laser effect works in tandem with a round SMD strobe, adding punchy bursts of light that emphasize the beat and heighten the energy of a performance. Together, the laser and strobe transform the Helicopter Q6 from a simple beam fixture into a full-scale atmospheric effect generator, capable of filling a room with light from a single unit.
Control and Setup
The Helicopter Q6 is designed for flexibility and ease of use. It can be operated using built-in automated and sound-activated programs, making it simple to deploy without extensive programming. For more advanced setups, it supports Master/Slave operation, full DMX control, or an optional IRC-6 remote for wireless operation. The fixture also supports power linking, allowing multiple units to be connected together to save time running cables and extension cords. It's designed to fit best in the CHS-40 VIP Gear Bag for easy transport between gigs.
Why We Love This
Our gear experts appreciate the Helicopter Q6 because it delivers big visual impact from a single, compact fixture. Its independently positionable RGBW beams, strobe, and laser create layered, aerial effects that elevate any performance without requiring a complicated rig. Sound-activated programs let it react automatically to the music, syncing lighting energy with the beat. Combined with power linking and flexible DMX or Master/Slave control, it's easy to set up quickly, letting performers focus on the show instead of the tech.
