I'd love to use this for my kid's football/baseball games but am worried about it being obnoxious&amp;taking up too much room.Anyone use this for games?

The XL Umbrella is large and does take up some room. You may want to go with the regular size one if that is a concern for you. The XL is 9 feet in diameter as compared to 7 feet for the regular one.

I just bought it for use at outdoor sports activities for bleacher seating. I just have 1 and it's fantastic.

Space should not be a problem. Any of the standard layouts should work unless you are trying to run more than two tracks at a time

I used to install school intercom and PA systems for a living. While it may seem very loud to a home owner it is not designed for that type of application. It will not be of any practical used in a high school basketball court.

I tried regular baseball in the machine and it struggled. If they are close in weight it may struggle. Hope this helps

Scratch my previous answer. There is an adaptor for basketballs, footballs, etc. & a couple I'm unfamiliar with.

I use bungee cords to secure pole to bleachers and use at my sons football games all the time. If you secure it well, even in strong winds, no problem. Works very well and set up/break down is fast. Sit in the back so you don't block any views.

We use this during our live broadcast of High School Football games and I get really excited and sometimes LOUD!!!!! It does a great job of keeping my level from exploding! We have two of these. It took me a while to dial in the settings that I needed but after messing with it for about an hour I had it dialed in.

My son uses for video games and collectibles which are all different sizes. He has 2 of the units and has over 400 video games. All of them fit in the two units.

Its very loud for racing games. People under you - that is. When I play in my bedroom at 6am-7am my mum under me complains that all she hears and it's very loud. However when she is on the same floor (next room) it's ok. Even racing games (aggressive driving) over Euro Truck Sim-like games, she never hears. It's well worth it though and the main noise is speakers-sound. :D

I've had this out on tour. Haven't had any issues with overheating. However all the venues I've been in are pretty well temperature controlled. Not sure if it would do well outdoors, but the console is pretty easily removed from the case if needed. You will have a hard time finding a quality case at this price, especially if you use digital snake like I do and don't need the doghouse.

I use it to record my daughter's softball games and I can get about 3 hours out of it. That's stopping and starting it a lot during that time.

It is plenty loud but I don't believe it will charge your player/phone. As a speaker it kills the competition.

Its pretty quite if you adjust the fan curve currently, If you keep the default fan curve its fairly loud, but it depends on how demanding the game is.

I bought it as a gift to a friend. He umpires little league baseball and uses it to prep for the activity. Asked him, he said he likes it, only noise is when he tightens the drag to the max there is a little noise but it is of no concern. He passed on that as the rear is raised the user may need to provide an assist to mount. I did research pre the buy. It's very sturdy, well made and the price very reasonable. I'd gladly buy it again.

Tbh idk... maybe you should invest in a decent controller and see whats up. .. I think it depends on how big a space you are looking to use it on as well..
