We've been looking for awhile for a more compact, travel friendly lighting console that will still allow us to program and run a real show. After trying lots of different virtual and compact controllers, we finally got our hands on a Jands Vista S1, and we love it!

The S1 runs with Jands's venerable Vista V2 software, which means that right out of the box, there's a lot of available functionality. With five playback faders and a complete programming section, you can program and run a pretty good size lighting show, all with a board that will fit in your carry-on luggage.
