Want a slate that you can customise job to job without needing to go through the hassle of arts and crafts?

The TRIBE7 BLACKSLATE7 is a game changer.

It’s a digital slate, self powered, programmable via an app for your Apple iPhone.

Setup templates for specific jobs, camera tests, setups… save yourself some time.

Bring the slate into the 21st century with the BLACKSLATE7

Key Features

Durable

Manufactured out of tough ABS polymer with anti-glare Gorilla Glass screen and stick labels, SLATE is designed for tough use - both on and off set.

Self-powered

No additional batteries or power required. SLATE is self-powered and always on standby, ready for programming.

Dynamic

Load in digital templates on the fly using the free BLACKSLATE7 app.

How to program

Install the BLACKSLATE7 iOS or Android app on your smartphone.

Select a pre-loaded clapperboard template from the app then transfer to SLATE using your phone's built-in near-field communication (NFC) interface - the same technology used for contactless payments.

You can also create and select any custom clapperboard image or photo from your phone's image library, then upload, scale and format in the app to achieve the look you want.

How to use

Write your scene, take and camera settings directly on SLATE with a dry-wipe marker pen, then wipe off and re-apply to change - just like a traditional clapperboard. Even erasable liquid chalk markers can be used for a truly retro look.

Re-program your SLATE template when changing production, location, or application.
