  "I just wanted to thank you for the excellent and prompt service - I'm amazed you managed to get my Foldback units out to me so quickly!  And it's great!  Everyone who sees and uses them thinks they are wonderful."  
  Ray Taylor-Parker, September 2006 (referring to the Mk4  863MHz Foldback system)  
 
     
  "Thanks for sending those bits so quickly, as always.  You bailed me out yet again!  Always an excellent service and I'm really grateful."  
  Ian Young, August 2006  
 
     
  "Hello
Do you remember me?  I'm Sylvain and I bought a video sender system.  I send you this message just now because I didn't test the system before this week.  It works perfectly!  I'm very enjoyed your system and I meet many people maybe interested by it, so I give them your internet address site.  Thank you."

  In a reply to Michael Sanders, DOP/Lighting Cameraman, on the GTC Forum, April 2006, John Adderley said:  
  "Michael,
You will find the lovely Jim at www.blackboxvideo.com - he always listens to suggestions and usually sorts out any useful developments" .

  "Hi Jim and Karen
I for one would be more than happy to have a link on your new website and to provide one on mine, for your company.  I regularly use your Power Supply (can't recall the name) Paglok'd directly to my camera, which is very neat and more importantly, convenient and absolutely reliable - so far at least."
 
 

Ian McCann, DOP and Lighting Cameraman

 
 
     
  "Black Box Video makes all my cables:  from standard 3 pin XLR audio cables through to the smallest Lemo plugs on Radio Mic Transmitters.  The work is always of the highest quality, and I thoroughly recommend them."  
 

Gordon Thomson, Production Sound Mixer

 
 
     
  "Thanks for the BIG One and Monster.  I've used them for two long night shoots now and they do exactly what it says on the tin!  Fantastic!  You're welcome to use my comments - I really am impressed with the gear."  
 

Jim Greenhorn, January 2004

 
 
     
  "Jim and Karen
The cables arrived this morning - and just perfect!  Many thanks for the speedy service, as always."
 
 

Peter Rance, Lighting Cameraman, 88 Pictures Ltd, August 2005

 
 
     
  "Since buying The Package back in March 04, I have used it all over the world and it has never let me down.  I would have to say, your Wireless Video Sender is the best I've seen - I've seen other systems on my travels, but yours is the best and the most stable.  Even hanging half a mile out of a helicopter!  And I think your Remote Switch is a touch of genius!"  
  Sam Berrido, Cameraman, Good Dog TV, July 2006  
 
     
  "Hi Jim and Karen
Thank you so much for the cables, I received them on Thursday, what service.  Did you stay up all night or something?  The cables are fab, exactly what I needed.  So well made.  Thanks again guys."
 
  Judi Headman, June 2006  
 
     
  "Dear Jim and Karen
Just a brief note to say thanks for the recent catalogue.  Interesting reading and a great reference.  By the way, I love the two channel dimmer you supplied me with last December, it works a treat! Thanks again."
 
  Andy Smith, Firstsight Communications, March 2006  
 
     
  "Picture Canning has had nothing but reliable constant use from Black Box Video's BIG Ones.  Our clients are always impressed with the ability to charge and operate the battery at the same time.  Our Black Box Video Time Code Sender kits work well in a variety of applications, from a simple T/C logger for the PA/Script Supervisor to RF linked Digi Slate.  Because of the Black Box Video extended range Time Code Sender, Picture Canning were one of the first companies to provide a Record Run T/C set up for a DAT/Digi Dram (1997), thus allowing the location T/C to be used throughout the edit without re-stripping."  
 

Ian Coles, Picture Canning, March 2004

 
 
     
  "Dear Karen and Jim,
I'm still sorry your stereo foldback system was impossible to use here in Spain... It took me a long time to be sure why.  We have telephone companies using from 700 to 900 MHz approx. here! I still haven't found a real substitute for your system, since the fact that it is stereo is a great advantage, being only one package instead of two. one for each channel.  Presently I'm using AKG PR81 systems.  It's mono, but on the other hand it is diversity.  Reception is quite reliable, but the case is plastic and weak, not like yours, that was like a tank!
"The real subject of this letter is to tell you that I've been using your TC-link system very successfully to transmit TC from DAT to digital slate. At 439MHz it penetrates walls and people very well and never had a reaching problem.  But here is the good news that I'd like to tell you, so you can recommend it to your customers: now I'm using Lithium 9V batteries with it.  It fits perfectly on the battery compartment AND it seems to never finish!!!  I mean, at the end I change the battery just because it seems obscene! That batteries seems to last for ever! I used the TC-link for about 30 production days and the battery was still OK!!!  I bought it at RS-components, is the ULTRALIFE 9V PP3 lithium battery.  So you can recommend to use it with your system as "near-endless battery life" .
