Ive heard those shock absorbers, the free float ones, are ... :nervous:
Dont some people cut a tennis ball in half or something like that and stick a couple on the feet. |
yeh, that's a popular method...
as for the freefloats, never tried them actually, and don't look that great to me, but a lot of clubs are using them and big events etc, so it must work I dunno lol |

I've got a pair of free floats.
I've found them by and large pretty useless. Maybe I'm just using them wrong ?
I've tried them inflated hard, deflated mildly and deflated largely. They all suck. The 1200's don't sit level if they're deflated too much (back is heavier than front).
The instructions say to over-inflate them and then deflate them until they fit the feet well, but I'm really struggling to find anything useful from this product.
All I can think is that someone is paying all these DJs a heck of a lot of money to endorse this product. Of course, maybe when you become a superstar DJ, you get the smarts to use this highly technological balloon. Maybe if I practice hard everyday I will get those smarts too. |

Those things look so tacky. Like lifeguard preservers or something.
Actually they kinda look like the Cingular logo (cel phone provider here in the USA for those not familiar) |

| lol, those do like the Cingular logo. And, everyone I have talked to that owns a pair tells me they are the most worthless pieces of ever. My advice would be not to get them and invest in a couple tennis balls as was suggested earlier. |

| Also try neoprene rubber pieces that can be cut from thick mouse pads, old typewriter pads, and cushions sold in camping supply stores. These will reduce a certain amount of acoustic vibration. |

| Go to the tool department at sears. Ask for drawer lining material. About $20 for MORE than enough. It's about half an inch thick, firm, and soft. Like thick Neoprene. |
