Deity TC-SL1 Timecode Slate
Accurate digislate ideal for visual syncing of GoPros and other camera formats.
ENQUIRE NOWThe Deity TC-SL1 is a smart, precision-built timecode slate ideal for use with GoPros and other mini-cams where a visual timecode reference is required.  It combines a high-accuracy SMPTE/LTC timecode generator with a bright LED display and a beautifully crafted clapper made from black walnut wood. Featuring Bluetooth 5.1 and 2.4 GHz wireless sync, the TC-SL1 can be used in generator mode, jam mode from a main camera such as a Sony FX9 or ARRI Alexa, or from an external timecode source.  It also integrates seamlessly with Deity’s timecode ecosystem and the Sidus Audio app for quick setup and real-time control.
Its rugged aluminium construction, long-life dual NP-F batteries, and drift of less than 1 frame in 72 hours make it a reliable choice for productions that demand precision syncing and durability on set.
