Testimonials

a large quotation mark With this amount of footage being juggled around I turn to my 'friend in the field' ShotPut Pro. ShotPut Pro allows me to backup the days footage to multiple drives at a time and for peace of mind it allows checksum verification so you know there has been no errors in the transferring of the footage. Due to the remote locations of these shoots its not possible to reshoot so the peace of mind from knowing the footage is safe is very welcome.
