Particularly elegant he does not act despite his discreet matt black exterior at first glance, but it is excellent for what you want to have him and he more at least as if he will survive for a long time the rough everyday business of a teacher or presenter , Front it has a large orange plastic cap, which should be easily visible from a back row.
