They have not told us what it will cost but the software program it comes with will change the way reports are done. For the most part I have been really impressed with it so far. The part I really like is the fact you are using your own laptop as your monitor which makes the recording/editing part of the job much more powerful. The real advantage will be for those who already are using a laptop on the truck.

Wow that's awesome. I'm glad I waited Because If I did buy the Seesnake and then this came out. This unit is perfect I'll get one of these in the next year in a half maybe sooner if thinks pick up.

I have the small toolbox-style monitor and my plan was to buy a card for my laptop with video inputs. It was my understanding that I could record any incoming video that way. The card costs less than $50 and I'm sure there's some cheap video editing software available. Not as many bells and wistles as the Ridgid thing but way cheaper, I'm sure. Plus, I still have my regular monitor.

You really don't need the software unless you want to be able to prepare reports. What the software is for is so you can prepare a professional reports with snap shots then hit a button and email it off. This also has a few USB ports so that you can record to thumb drives. The editing software makes it real easy to cherry pick the video parts you want the customer to see on YouTube. If none of that is important to you then the software is of no added value. The LT1000 controls the camera but it is built around the software.

As for the video cards I have to tell you I have been through a half dozen of them and about the same number of capture devices and have yet to find one which was reliable. That doesn't mean there isn't one out there, it just means it can be real frustrating when they don't work.

It looks cool. But I am sure they will greatly over price it like everything else.

I can do everything the program does using my Mac laptop. I take the SD card and upload it. I can edit it and add words and funny blips using Photoshop or add music using Imovie....
