5 of 5 Excellent controller January 2, 2021
Reviewer: Manny Duarte from MIDDLETOWN, DE United States  
I bought nine controllers from HolidayCoro this year and I can't recommend them enough. They are well built. If you want something that is ready to go look no further. Get these so you have more time to spend actually setting up your lights.

5 of 5 Great way to start August 20, 2020
Reviewer: Brian Schuster from NORTH RIDGEVILLE, OH United States  
First year in the pixel light hobby. It is nice to be able to purchase these ready to run kits so I don't have to worry about making the connections correctly. Bought a bunch of stuff in my first order and everything showed up as planned and we are having fun getting started.

5 of 5 Custom Controller April 13, 2020
Reviewer: Juan Anton from Miami, FL United States  
I was so happy when this arrived. It is a monster. This controller will handle just about everything i need for this year. MY buddy freaked when he saw how many ports this had to work with. Especially with the receiver. This is my baby. The only thing i hoped gets done is that the ports and  in the right order. Not a big deal but David with Holiday Coro called me immediately and explained what i needed to know and all worked out great.

5 of 5 HinksPix Pro December 24, 2019
Reviewer: Stanley Bogumil from Lancaster, CA United States  
I purchased the ready2run version of HinksPix Pro with two power supplies, SD card, and FM Transmitter.  It is truly Ready to Run, just mount and connect your props - includes cables with quick disconnects.  Tech support is phenomenal (I had not set my time zone properly so scheduling didn't work from 9-midnight).  

The only thing not satisfying is the FM transmitter.  This FM transmitter is LEGAL, which means it has an incredibly short range.  I think if your controller was in your front yard it would be OK.  My controller is in my garage.  You can lock on to the FM signal in the driveway, but not in the street.  I ended up buying an FM transmitter from amazon for about the same price, but now I am at risk for FCC fines if they ever scan the airwaves.

Since HolidayCoro thoroughly impressed me with every other aspect of this purchase this remains 5 star review.

5 of 5 Getting Started December 18, 2019
Reviewer: Wayne Manoni from Middleburg Heights, OH United States  
I must say that picking a controller with accessories is quite a pain. I had to make a 2nd order, because I picked the long range board over the local output board. No big deal, I will eventually use it.
