Ikan Production Clapper Slate 9″ x 11″

I am shooting an indie in 3 weeks and needed a low cost production slate. A few of the reviews here caused me to second guess ordering this item, but in the end, I went ahead and gave it a shot. The slate arrived today and is exactly what I expected. The clapper is nice and loud with a magnetic strip to hold it tight, it easily wipes clean and is the perfect size for my shot bag. It can also be operated 1 handed which is huge on an idie. Unlike the products others reported receiving, the wording was printed straight, the clapper was not loose, it was factory sealed and in perfect working order. One thing to note is that ikan has updated the look slightly from what you see in the Amazon photo. I knew this ahead of time after checking out their website so it was no big deal. The updates are minor, but you will want to double check their site to ensure this is truly what you need.Overall, a great product and I would definitely recommend it.
