I own a variety of ITR's and use them in my professional close up routines. I loved the idea of hiding it in a watch. The design and being able to open and fix on the fly is good. The video that comes with it is fine but I cant help feeling there is a difference in the quality of what Im holding and what im seeing.

Unfortunately the reel opening is sharp, breaks the IT, needs to be sanded. Reel is loud-- loud enough if you use this like you would a thread boss spectators will hear it. There is some bad advertising, it is all plastic-- no steel no titanium. I could forgive that if it just worked.

This is bad, I would wait till someone comes out with a good version of this before spending money. I could see $75 for a good working unit but not $40 for this.

Beware Ive seen a review video or 2 saying this was great but upon closer reviewing they are not really handling it the way you would in performance.

If you need an ITR just buy a thread boss from penguin.

Instructional video weak: poorly lit and shot. Shown from spectator's view not performer's often too tight a shot, making the moves for the effects challenging to follow.
