Sports broadcasting cameras are so ridiculously awesome

How a lot of this TV stuff comes together:

This stuff is to cool!

As far as the pricing I'm completely ignorant to it, but when I lived in Colorado part of my job was to ferry some of the TV guys around for a bit. Comedy Central was doing a commercial for the upcoming Comedy Festival in town and I'd take them to different locations on the mountain via snowmobile. The guy I was bringing up put the tripod in the trailer and was planning to hold the camera, lol. Turns out the tripod was a custom machined jobber that cost them 80K and was built just for this shoot, well that's what he told me. He said not to worry as it was heavy enough to stay put, twenty yards or so later we turned around so he could bungee both the camera and legs down because I almost lost him.

thanks for all of those pics and video links!! awesome stuff!!!

i used to wire up those huge tractor-trailers that are used for sports broadcasting, for a company that built 'em in san diego... pretty complex stuff.

wow some of those look increadibly expensive lol
