Construction & Design
Crafted with ABS resin clapper sticks and a printed acrylic slate, the Action! clapperboard provides durability, clarity, and weather resistance for repeated use. Unlike Filmsticks' flagship engraved slates, the Action! board is permanently bonded into the sticks, creating a one-piece build that is simple, secure, and easy to handle.
Slate
The slate is printed rather than engraved. While not as long-lasting as laser-engraved acrylic, it delivers the same professional appearance and layout trusted by the industry. With proper care, the slate performs well for everyday training and production use.
Clapper Sticks
The clapper sticks are UV-printed with white chevrons, offering excellent durability and resistance to solvents. They do not include the patented tongue-and-groove design found on Filmsticks' flagship sticks but remain reliable, well-textured, and visually consistent with professional equipment.
Layout Version
This is the EU version of the Action! clapperboard, with a layout matching the format used in European professional production environments. Also available in USA and Spain versions.
