Amen, Jayse. Sometimes I think the only reason I do paying work is to buy more gadgets. So I can do more work. 

@Steve - yeah I know it's a hunk of plastic. For $80 I'm not exactly expecting a solid milled block of titanium.

@evan & mathias - yeah the cintiq is pretty awesome for that, but if I'm using both, I have all the macros on it already mapped, plus I don't find the touch strips to be super accurate for fine control. Additionally I'm thinking it would be nice to map the the controller to zooming/panning the timeline with a function switch.

Yeah the Contour get's the job done. I really liked it - super small and portable - but When I got the Transport I was like - 'Whoa - this is what I've been missing'  ----- 

But my warning is that I'm the type to spend a few extra hours working in the night on a random gig JUST to buy tech toys like that.

I claim that it keeps me sane. ;-)

I learned to edit in my teens on Sony A/B roll ½ and ¾” and no it does not feel like high end gear. But it functions just fine – the V1 was a little balky but my first one still works after 12 years and at $80 each, you can scatter a couple about and put one in a laptop bag.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Stanley Kubrick
