The Padcaster, a revolutionary iPad case that transforms Apples tablet into an on-the-go production studio, was recently honored with aStudioDaily Prime Award in the production category at this years NAB Show. In addition to the big win, the Padcaster team is also celebrating the current Apple ad campaign, which features a hero shot of creator Josh Apter with the Padcaster shooting Iguazu Falls on the back covers of national magazines including New York Magazine, Fortune, Business Week and Runners World.
It has been a fantastic ride for Padcaster this year. Winning a StudioDaily Prime Award at the NAB Show put us in a category with some of our own industry gear favorites, and we couldnt be happier to be sharing this honor with them, says Josh Apter, founder of the Padcaster. Then to come home and see the Padcaster on the back of New York Magazine among others was really just the icing on the cake!
