And you thought YOUR live truck was cramped. I think these guys have you beat! ...and it's dual-path, too!

Ah, crap. Don't let our operations people see that.

It probably gets better gas mileage than anything out there! Funny, the photog has to edit OUTSIDE the truck!

Must be fun in the rain. Hopefully the crew has their own truck to work out of.

Wouldn't want to try to hold a shot in the next big storm to hit New Orleans.

Everybody sing it now "fat guy in a little car, fat guy in a little car."

It doesn't look like it has alot of legroom.

You'd think they would supply a chair to sit on while editing...that case doesn't look very comfortable!!!

It looks to me like it was designed by someone who has never worked in the field a day in his or her life. Are the open doors used for air conditioning the equipment?

No, a folding chair would take to much room. :D

Big ain't everything. Small operations make for quick operations. Don't forget they are working in Africa so they need to get around quickly without dragging big trucks everywhere. Also helps keep overheads down.

Judging by their clients, their getting the work. Have a look.

That reminds me of these guys and their "portable" live equipment http://www.rfcentral.com. Don't know if any of you has heard of them or not but they manufacture portable transmitters that are supposed to let you go live from a regular news car. I wish I had a picture of one of us trying to put up the "manual mast" because the similarities are uncanny.

I'd like to see them make an SNG out of a Mini Cooper, not the new one, the original like this one:

Okay, how the F do you get an image to appear IN the reply box like we used to be able to do with the old messasge board. It used to be that all you had to do was to put an image tag and an end image tag with the http string in the middle of it. How do you do it now?
