It also helps us sync up our audio in post Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did!
