Antari Z-800II: Portable Fog for Mobile Shows

Fog transforms lighting by giving beams something to reflect off, turning simple fixtures into dramatic shafts of light. The Z-800II makes that effect easy to achieve, with an 800 W heater that produces dense fog in short bursts and a compact size that fits easily in a DJ’s or band’s gear. Antari is known for reliable fog machines used in venues and productions worldwide.

Z-800II Control Options

The included Z-10 wired remote lets you trigger fog with the press of a button. For hands-off operation, add the optional Z-40 timer remote to fire bursts at set intervals and durations, or the Z-50 wireless remote to control fog from across the room. Fluid consumption is about 13 ml per minute, giving roughly an hour of fog at maximum output from a full tank.

Using the Z-800II Safely

Always use Antari-recommended water-based fog fluid and never let the machine run dry. Place the machine on a stable, level surface away from people and flammable materials, and allow it to warm up fully before triggering. Coordinate with venue staff about smoke detectors, and use short bursts rather than continuous fog for the best effect and fluid economy.

What to Pair With the Z-800II

Pair the Z-800II with water-based fog fluid such as Antari FLG, a timer or wireless remote, and lighting fixtures like moving heads, lasers, and beam effects. A small fan can help spread fog evenly across a dance floor or stage.

Fog vs. Haze for Your Show

A fog machine like the Z-800II produces dense clouds that billow out and slowly dissipate, which is ideal for dramatic moments, dance floors, and Halloween effects. A haze or faze machine produces a thinner, more even atmosphere that hangs in the air and keeps beams visible throughout the show. Many entertainers carry both: haze for the general atmosphere and fog for big moments. If you’re only buying one, think about whether you want bursts of drama or constant visible beams.

To keep your Z-800II running well, use quality fog fluid, run the machine regularly, and store it with a clean tank. Occasionally running a cleaning fluid through the machine helps keep the heater clear.
