Professional had the Plugins I needed for most of this repair. I have used Professional for my other 1DX MKII repair but on this repair I needed the AF Plugin to complete the job. The Upgrade went smoothly and allowed me to purchase the Advanced Plugins only when I needed them.

I replaced the Main Body Frame, Mirror Box, Main PCB, Front Cover, Back Cover, Top Cover and a bunch of other smaller miscellaneous parts. I had to re-do the shims on the CMOS to get the sensor properly positioned but the SPT software took care of initializing the new [...read more]

I bought 2 comparable, but cheaper, blades from another source and they both broke within 2 weeks from when I received them. They refused to replace them. I bought 2 of these blades from SPT and broke the second one yesterday after almost 3 years of daily use. I just ordered 2 more!

I picked up an account that is using Canon 6D cameras to do motion studies and they are shooting over 10,000 exposures a week on each of their 15 bodies. Being able to replace their shutters on a next day basis using the SPT software gives me a competitive advantage over the customer sending them to Canon for repair.

I bought the software after fighting with a camera for 8+ hours with no success. I was able to clear the error code with the software and the camera started working fine! Thanks SPT for this great tool to use in my repair business.

If you are in doubt about buying the SPT software, don't be. I'll be buying the other models as I get the money to do so.
