ULANZI FILMOG Ace FM01 Fog Machine, Portable Smoke Machine with Remote Control Hand-held Fogger for Photography, Outdoor Events, Parties, Stage Effects, Halloween, Disinfection or Weddings

Works extremely well. Lots of fog produced.

A must to bring with you to EVERY shoot!

Pros:- Feels well-built- Excellent ergonomicsCons:- It doesn't actually workI am very disappointed in this thing. There are so many compact fog machines, and most of them have terrible reviews. This was one of the few that didn't, but now I understand this is because it simply it needed more time on the market. The common complaint of the fog machines immediately overheating is fully represented here. I could not produce fog for more than one or two seconds at a time before it would say that it was overheating and needed a moment. Basically, it does not do the one thing that it is supposed to do. Needless to say, I will be returning it.tldr; it doesn't product fog. It is an expensive paperweight.

I heard back from Ulanzi's customer service a couple days after the problem. They gave me instructions to update the unit's firmware. After that was done it worked great! For a day. And then it was back to the same problem. I reported this to them and they shipped me a brand new unit very quickly. The new unit works exactly as advertised. I haven't had any problems with that one and it creates impressive amounts of fog very quickly.It's very impressive for about 3 seconds and then it gives a warning of the oil tank overheating. This happened in an air conditioned room straight out of the box and continues to happen. There's nothing on Ulanzi's website about troubleshooting or fixing problems. Looks like it's going back.

The media could not be loaded. Is a really good for the price easy to use and produce good fog for video production

It puts out a decent amount of fog for it's size. We got it for photography.One thing of note is that it works really well when there's no air movement. If outdoors, it doesnt work well when the wind picks up. We had to use a mix of this and canned atmosphere/fog for our recent Photoshoot. The canned fog is great when windy, but this is a much cheaper alternative when it's not windy. Would definitely recommend.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this so I wouldn’t need to order atmosphere spray or smoke bombs during photo shoots. I unboxed and as soon as I turned on the machine I was hit with the “oil tank overheating” I reached out to customer support which creates a chat with a member of their team on Facebook. I was prompted to download their firmware under “update package” on their actual website.Great, I can do that…. Yeah, no. I don’t have a windows desktop. So I guess I can’t use this product and I’ll have to return it.

I used this during one of my photoshoots and it worked great. It produces enough smoke, but wind or AC will take it away quick. Its small, its not meant to saturate the environment
