We've been toying around with different live-via-cellular technologies for a while but our shop just bought a bunch of Streambox Avenir Mini's. This is the cameraback version of the Streambox Avenir backpack. I'm familiar with the technology and some of the challenges with cell networks... but...

I saw this on the KING5 photogs Facebook page and it caught my eye. From his Twitter pic it looks like Max was a really young guy. Here's his Vimeo page with some great stories... http://vimeo.com/user4280105/videos "It is with heartfelt condolences we share in mourning the passing of a fellow...

Can anyone suggest a highly compact (yet rugged) equipment cart? The more it folds up, the better. It would need to hold the standard ENG rig (lighting bag, tripod, camera, etc). Thx!
