I would be concerned by the possibility of small bits of felt from the cassette's light trap floating about in the solutions, and also the increased chance of scratches from running the film through the light trap twice. I always use a change bag, never a problem.

Looks handy, I'll have to keep an eye out for one.

To me I would think there's more problem with trying to side film into a wet plastic reel, after the first roll. Back during the day bought film in bulk and used reloadable cannisters, thousands of rolls processed. Don't remember any contamination issues, but I did have issues with plastic reels.

Nice idea but I have concerns about the film cutting blade. I have problems with my LabBox blade cutting film. Ars Imago states polyester (PET) base film can be a problem for the loading clip. I found the cutting blade ineffective for PET and some cellulose acetate bases (TAC).

I understand users can sharpen the LabBox blade with a metal file. For my use, I went back to Patterson and Jobo tanks.

I only use stainless reels - tried plastic once. You probably haven't have any contamination issues because you've never had the film cassette in the solution. This new system seems to be aimed at the tyro, but if it can help keep the film manufacturers in business, I hope it's successful.

Early on, I tried plastic because I didn't take the time to learn how to load a stainless reel. Once I learned the two hand coordination required, the plastic reels got pitched.

In looking at the video, the center section (with cassette) is removed before any solution is added. Adding to my earlier comment, it appears the only time the film slides in the reel is during loading in a dry reel. They disassemble the reel to unload the wet film.

Indeed it is - I should have viewed the video!
