DIT or Data Wrangler Tool
DIT vs data wrangler - Carbon Impact
Every shoot day, a DIT cart draws roughly eight times the electricity of a data wrangler setup. But that's not the whole carbon story. If a DIT prevents a single pickup day, it may already be the lower-carbon choice. Adjust the sliders to model your own shoot parameters and find your breakeven probability.
