NAB:  Other Stuff

I’ve spent the last week digesting everything I saw at this year’s NAB show, from products great, like full-tilt video production trailers, to small, like AVCHD camcorders that record to SD flash memory.  But one of the truly remarkable products I saw isn’t even specifically a video product – it’s a utility lifesaver. 

At one small booth off the main drag, Rescue Tape was being featured. Rescue Tape is non-sticky silicone wrapping, which boasts the remarkable ability to fuse into itself when you stretch it.  For example, if your radiator hose springs a leak on the way to a shoot, you wrap and stretch Rescue Tape around the split, and within minutes it forms a unified, one-piece repair.  I know, this sounds a little too much like the Photoshop Healing Brush come to life, but the demos in the booth showed it to be true.  Plus, it’s waterproof, insulates to 8000 volts, and doesn’t melt up to 500 degrees F.  It’s a must for every gaffer’s bag, and anyone else that might ever need a little help in a tough time.  It’s sold by all your favorite expendables vendors, or online at www.rescuetape.com .
