For all you timecode buddy users out there, I have made my own custom TC
slate to use with MovieSlate or your other favorite slate app. I
started by customizing a cheap Ikan slate. I removed the clappers,
bought new light weight, yet durable black board and cut it to size.
Then I drilled new holes, fastened the clapper sticks via screws to the
board, did some other mysterious modifications to improve the quality of
the clappers and made the new slate customizable. I am using the
survivor military case for the ipad, along with additional screen
protection that is replaceable. There is a half inch border of board to
help additionaly protect the ipad. The neat thing here is that you can swap
between the Ipad and the original slate anytime you want. Check out the
photos and video and let me know what y'all think. :-)
