[Avid-L2] Re: Editing on your feet>> is great!

 

Try one of these:

The point is, it's adjustable with the touch of a button. Too tired to stand... zoom it down. Need to stand up... zoom it up.

We don't have "clients" in the room, so I'm not the best person to ask about that. However, in my opinion, if the client is comfortable, has a good view of the monitors, why should they care if you stand or sit?
