Product Overview
The Tentacle Sync SL1-KIT Timecode Slate Kit converts an existing Tentacle TIMEBAR into a lightweight production slate using a precision acrylic board, durable clapper sticks, and a custom-designed TIMEBAR holder. Developed in collaboration with Filmsticks, the modular design supports quick attachment and removal of the TIMEBAR while keeping individual slate components user-replaceable for long-term professional use. TIMEBAR is sold separately.
Precision Acrylic Slate Board
The precision-engineered acrylic board uses a dedicated Roll / Scene / Take layout for clear production identification during scripted, commercial, documentary, and multi-camera workflows.
Durable Clapper Sticks
High-quality clapper sticks provide the physical slate action required for traditional production marking while maintaining the compact, lightweight design of the SL1-KIT.
Custom TIMEBAR Holder
A purpose-built holder securely integrates an existing Tentacle TIMEBAR with the slate board, creating a dedicated mounting solution without permanently attaching the display.
Lightweight 550 g Construction
At approximately 550 g, the complete slate hardware is designed to remain lightweight for camera assistants and production crews while retaining the rigidity required for regular on-set use.
Quick TIMEBAR Attachment
The modular mounting system allows the TIMEBAR to be attached or removed quickly, making it easy to move the display between slate and standalone timecode workflows as production needs change.
User-Replaceable Components
Individual slate components are designed to be user-replaceable, supporting straightforward maintenance and helping extend the service life of the slate system in professional environments.
Build a Dedicated TIMEBAR Production Slate
The SL1-KIT gives camera assistants and production crews a dedicated acrylic slate, clapper sticks, and custom holder for integrating an existing Tentacle TIMEBAR into on-set slate workflows.
Move the TIMEBAR Between Slate and Standalone Use
The custom holder supports quick attachment and removal of the TIMEBAR, allowing one display to move between clapperboard use and other compatible on-set timecode display workflows.
Maintain Replaceable Slate Components
User-replaceable components help rental facilities and production departments maintain the slate over extended use without replacing the complete system when individual hardware components require service.
