Kick Ass Pen!!!
Hello everyone.
I just wanted to post a few thoughts after returning from NAB this year. First, let me just say that I met Chris Hurd while attending the FCP Super Meet in Las Vegas and in addition to be a really nice guy, he gave me a DVinfo.net writing instrument. Now this is no run of the mill writing utensil. First of all, the DVinfo.net logo is prominently displayed in DVinfo blue on its silver alloy colored side. The pen is accented with precision pollished chrome writing tip, pocket clip, and matching bands at each end of the pocket clip barrel. The writing tip is a fine point roller ball good for getting small print into small places like the lable of a Mini DV tape. The cartridge extending mechanism is a true fluid movement, on par with any of the Sachtler or Miller heads I scoped out at the convention. And here is the real kicker, cleverly and discreetly disguised as pushbutton cartridge extending mechanism at the end of this precision writing tool is a powerful daylight balanced led light, powerful enough to be used as a backup key, fill, or hair light in a pinch. We have used it a number of times in leiu of a reflector when shooting on bright sunny days outdoors. Chris, the only suggestion I have for the next model is the addition of barn doors and diffusor kit. I really had a great time at my first NAB and even though I didn't win the HD 100 at the FCP Super Meet, I got to meet Chris, thank him in person for running a top notch discussion forum, plus a great pen :)

I just hope that when I get the HD pen I won't have to upgrade my entire stock of office paper. -Jon

You gotta meet me at one of the shows... or if I can afford to have enough of 'em made up, might offer them for sale on the site. About time we had a swag shop around here anyway.
