Linemaster Video Gallery
Our video library is an extension of our Learning Center, built to educate, not just show. Each video is designed to break down how our foot switches work, where they are used, and why certain design choices matter, just like our blogs, but in a more visual, hands on way. From product overviews and internal testing to real world applications and behind the scenes looks at our process, these videos are meant to give you clear, useful insight you can actually apply. No fluff, no sales pitch, just straightforward information to help you better understand the product and the decisions behind it.
