Reporting Agency in Bay Area providing free Video to clients via the Reporter

[Denise Myers Byrd]

I am interested if anyone has heard of a reporting agency providing free video to attorneys. They don't bring in a videographer. The reporter has a camera on her laptop focused on the deponent, does the read-on and then provides the recorded deposition free to the parties in exchange for receiving the depositions of the other parties. One of my long-time clients, through one of our reporters, just informed me that he felt bad about going with this other agency but he felt like he needed to because he would receive the videography free of charge. Very frustrating and worrisome, quite frankly. If anyone has any information to share would be appreciated.
