Corporate Sustainer

Associate Member

30 minute consultation

This is not a membership per se, but entitles you to a one-time 30 minute phone consultation with a specialist.

If you need extensive advice, ("teach me how to record good sound") -- then you should join the National Association of Forensic Video. If you do not see yourself as an Active Member, then you can join as an Associate Member which entitles you to a thirty minute consultation. 

By the way, your $25 Associate Member fee will be credited towards your purchase of $50 or more from our site. You do not need to complete a membership application for this service.

We regret having to do this, but in this day and age there are too many internet shoppers who want to take up the time of our specialists only so they can shop somewhere else that doesn't offer any expertise!
