The Z-1000X MK3 is the more compact sibling of our Antari Z-1500 smoke machine. 1000W vs 1500W output (still plenty for any villa room), smaller footprint, easier to position out of the way. Ideal where the bigger Z-1500 is overkill.
What to put it with
Smoke is a multiplier on lighting, not a thing you rent on its own:
- The 4× LED PAR uplight set — colour washes turn from flat walls into visible shafts of light the moment there’s smoke in the room.
- The Laserworld EL-230RGB or Cameo Wookie 200 animation laser — a laser with nothing in the air is a dot on a wall. With smoke it’s the whole room.
- The Eurolite LED Super Strobe for the drop.
When something else is better
- Large terrace, marquee or an open-air where output matters — the 1.7-litre tank and 283 m³/min here will get lost. Step up to the Z-1500 (6-litre tank, 566 m³/min).
- You have beams or lasers running all night — a fazer beats a smoke machine for that. The Antari Z-350 Fazer holds an even haze instead of cycling between “thick cloud” and “nothing”.
What’s in the rental
- Smoke machine + power cable + wired timer remote
- 1L of smoke fluid (enough for a full evening)
- 3-5 day lead time
