Serious fan for outdoor gigs, $50.

[Marko 1]

$50 with the coupon. My nicer pedestal fan stopped working, and I thought one that sat on the floor would be better. This might be overkill, 20", but one can probably take care of the whole stage, I'm tellin' ya, this puts out serious air on 1, and not too loud for an outside gig. I'm the PA guy for the band, nobody had good (or any) fans, so I bought the only three left in the area.

That looks great!
In addition to some hot outdoor gigs, we've been playing some very hot indoor stages as well. I have 2 of these little 9" fans that put out 550cfm which really keep an individual cooled off and don't really make any noise.

Bring some extra weights to put on their bases. Those fans tend to walk when they're on full blast.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely get prepared for that.

When I read the title, I thought it was those rent a fan service

Pay $50 bucks and you'll get seriously crazy fan cheering you guys for the entire gig

I have a similar model of one of these:

Lasko High Velocity Pivoting Utility Blower Fan, for Cooling, Ventilating, Exhausting and Drying at Home, Job Site, Construction, 2 AC Outlets, Circuit Breaker with Reset, 3 Speeds, 12", Black, U12104 https://a.co/d/eW6XTby

Believe me, these will put out serious air. I never have it above 1. It's also has an electrical outlet on it. It never "walks" because it's heavy enough. It tilts so you can point it anywhere, low, on your bass, or your face. I highly recommend one like this. It doesn't take up a ton of space, more low profile too than those shop fans.

My wife and I have 3 rechargble battery fans from Ryobi aka Home Depot. We also have a few of their tools. Weed wacker, snow blower (suprisingly good), lawn mower, blower.So we have several lf the batteries in varying sizes. The fans work great seem very efficient - runs several hours on the smaller batteries.

Our primary use is for the hounds in the car when we are travelling or at doggy nose work trials. Secondary is staying at night cool while travelling. I have used on on stage pointed at me in with the wedges and it worked well. Not going to cool a stage but at least the bass player was comfy ;-)

That's the issue for me. My guys use music stands (it is what it is ), and I just don't want more stuff up in the air cluttering the view...

and sometimes it can get pretty hot!
