Review: Contour Design ShuttlePro v2

iMovie and Final Cut Express have given consumers the ability to edit videos on the own Macs. One thing missing, as compared to a professional setup, is a jog/shuttle controller. Contour Design's ShuttlePro v2 provides consumers (and professionals on a...

Durable, allows better control over many tasks, highly-customizable

Software somewhat clunky (an image-based method for choosing buttons, rather than a drop-down list would improve it a lot)

Video and audio editing is much easier with this customizable, well-made controller.

Contour Design ShuttlePro V.2

Works great with Pro Tools and Nuendo

I only wish they would make a new version with more buttons. Another pair of buttons on the left & right, and a third row on the top would be great.

There are no cons. Perhaps a little more variety for what can be assigned to the jog wheel would be nice. Programming macros is a little more involved than it should, but its not a deal breaker- the important thing is that it works well

Great product!

For the price of the ShuttlePRO v.2 nothing else can compare. I use this for just about everything on my Mac at home and at work. It make browsing the web much faster, as well as working flawlessly with Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro and other high-end...

With 15 buttons, a jog wheel, and shuttle ring that are ALL customizable on a per-application basis the ShuttlePRO v.2 is a great tool for multi-tasking. And with the software on the Mac (haven't tried it under Windows) customizing what each button...

The only thing I consider to be a big flaw is where the USB cable attaches to the main unit. Since I travel frequently and take the shuttle with me I feel that this point could cause stress on the cable and eventually (probably 3 to 5 years) could...
