Pros

Using the unit itself is relatively straightforward. It's quick, sturdy, and cheap. The process can be timely and tedious, but the results are worth the effort. My family and i are thrilled with the quality of the results!

At the conclusion of a scan, a quick reversal of the reels allows for quick rewinding. The pro model can use the large seven inch reels of film, which unless your ancestors were extremely into splicing their home moves together into marathons is about...  Read More

Competitiveness


Nothing to dislike works as advertised and is easy to use ihad many reals to copy to a flash drive.

I recently scanned about (20) 7" super 8 family film reels from the 1960s, 70s and 80s to mp4 on a 128gb sd card that clicks ri...  Read More
