Yes, let's face it, its price point is truly unbelievable! On the basis of that alone, I was sceptical. Upon receiving it, I was pleasantly surprised with how well it was made. I think it was packaged very well with Styrofoam and plastic (see the The pros include 2) Acrylic, so it can be erased quite well. 3) Relatively durable for the price. 3) As a tool, it makes a loud clap that makes it not merely a toy. 4) There is plenty of space for writing. **5) Magnets hold the wooden sections together when not in use, preventing it from accidentally opening on its own. There are some cons (and now I am just being picky) 1) Acorn - The wooden pieces are held together by style nuts. As soon as they arrived, they were free. In case you will use this item all the time, I suggest that you remove the acorn nuts and apply a small amount of thread lock- It would be nice if the nuts were tightened and/or replace with lock washers and hex nuts.
2) The black and white on the wooden sticks could be more bold and vibrant and seem faded, but it does not affect the use of the tool at all. NB Please note For my video production work, I use this several times a week in my home studio. The product is a great alternative to expensive clapboards and, so far, it has proven to be well worth the money. In the event that it breaks tomorrow, I might replace it with the same things without a second thought.
It came out the first time we used it on a shoot, and one of the two tiny screws connecting it to the clapper broke off. This rendered the clapper useless, and we had to tape it shut so it wouldn't fall off. wrote on the board with a white board marker that was brand new, and when we tried to erase it, we had to scrub hard to get it off, leaving the white of the board Now that we've used it again on more than one shoot, the clapper is all scratched up and dingy gray (and the screw is a problem since we cannot find a replacement for that tiny one). There is a low quality to it. you're looking for something to decorate with, then it would be fine however, if you want it to be used on a film set, it's not great.
It makes a nice If you are looking for something to do for a reasonable price, this one will do. Due to the dry erase markers purchased specifically for the slate rubbing off, I cannot give this product five stars. Moreover, the words are not embedded into the plastic as described, which is why I can't give it five stars. In this case, I will only be using it for small productions. It is possible to hear the sound of the clapper in the sound files that were taken during the shoot, but I wish the markers As time passed, a black stain began to appear on the slate after the fourth time I wrote on it. Gaffer tape can be used to cover the Production Names and any areas you are unlikely to need to replace during shooting to make sure your editor can see them clearly.
As far as I am concerned, I've not encountered the issues some people have. Keeping my guard up has been my priority. I did have to tighten the screws a little. There may be a cross thread in mine. This is due to the clapper's high play value.
I bought this for my 24 year-old son who studied mass communication with a video minor
He makes little moves and he loves this clacker
And I bought him dry-erase markers too
This is a sturdy plastic set.
My intention is to use the film on a film. The dry erase pens would not work or come off even after applying My shoot ended up being a complete disaster, I wasted all my money, and it looked terrible.
My name brand (Expo) marker etched the top layer of the dry erase board despite its description stating that it is a dry erase board. In the meantime, I use a grease pencil, and it is fine. However, I saw reviews that said that the screws would eventually come loose, so I will be using Loctite. The price is reasonable and I am satisfied with the product. In order to keep scenes and sound in order when filming, I bought it. It will hopefully help.
We were able to use it once, but it fell apart as soon as we tried There was a screw sticking out of the This is very disappointing. Don't let money go to waste.
