Review on 🎬 Neewer Acrylic Plastic 10x8"/25x20cm Director's Film Clapboard: Cut Action Scene Clapper Board Slate with Color Sticks - Enhance Film Production Efficiency by Andrew Walton

Pros: This is an inexpensive flap/panel that will help you look a little more professional as you grow your hobby or semi-pro film business. Non-film types don't know the difference. In my opinion, using a real key/slate to sync the sound couldn't be better. That crisp sound and your ability to physically control the volume are a good thing. This tool achieves that goal. Cons: It probably won't stand up to real production wear and tear, and unless you're someone who constantly monitors, tweaks, tightens, tightens, and hardens their gear, this article will annoy you. .The clapper came off the board within a week of purchase as I kept it in my travel cases with other gear. I don't think it's worth sending back and the problem was easily fixed with a small amount of epoxy. The screws on the flap will loosen over time and you will need to tighten them periodically to keep the item from falling apart as you work. This product is definitely more for hobbies than professionals. Be sure to wipe this item down after use as it becomes quite difficult to wash dry over time. Bottom line: if you're a self-funded hobbyist looking to use this as a tool, it will work. When you start turning your hobby into a business, I strongly recommend you look for a more durable product. I'm a tweaker by nature and prefer to buy cheaper stuff as I don't mind tightening a screw here and there or adding epoxy etc. If this isn't you, skip this one.
