Rockville ROCKHAZE 700 V2 Haze Machine - 700 CFM Water-Based Hazer

Our review of the Rockville ROCKHAZE 700 V2 finds it best suited for DJs, small clubs, and mobile lighting rigs that need a reliable, fast-starting haze source to shape beams and atmospherics. The single biggest reason to buy is the consistent, water-based output at up to 700 CFM, which creates even, non-obtrusive haze that enhances lighting without the heavy plumes of fog. It is compact and portable, heats up quickly, and offers DMX and remote control options that make it practical for live use.

Key Features

• High-output haze: Produces steady haze at 700 CFM so moving lights and strobes cut through with improved beam definition.
• DMX control: Two-channel DMX with 3-pin input/output lets operators control haze thickness and fan speed precisely from a lighting desk.
• Dual remotes: Includes a wireless remote that is UL4200A compliant plus a wired level control for quick changes on the fly.
• Fast heat-up: Reaches operating temperature in about 2.2 minutes so you can get haze on stage soon after power-up.
• Compact portability: Small footprint at 9.44in x 4.92in x 5.11in and 10.14 lbs with a 1.2L tank and carry handle makes it easy to transport and mount.

Who It's For

The ROCKHAZE 700 V2 is aimed at working DJs, club technicians, and small touring acts who need a dependable, water-based hazer that delivers consistent output and integrates with lighting consoles via DMX. Its compact size and fast heat-up time make it useful for setups where quick deployment and portability matter.

Those seeking ultra-long throw output for very large arenas or users who need an industrial-grade, fully redundant touring rig should consider larger professional haze systems; likewise, buyers who prioritize maximum durability above portability should compare heavier-built alternatives.
