Hi,
I'm a television photographer in Finland. I work for the national networks and also foreign news agencies (APTN etc.) and channels (CNN, DW, BBC...)
I used to have a Chevy Tahoe but I finally had to sell it after having driven nearly 200 000 km with it. Since no car dealer in Finland import or sell Chevrolet SUV's anymore (thanks to EU), I had to look for another option.
I decided to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser and build everything I need into it. My SUV is equipped with live transmission capability for news broadcasts and a high speed internet access (2 Mbps while on the move, 12 Mbps when stationary) for sending files etc.
I also installed a Victron Energy 1600W 230V inverter to generate power for all my equipment. Additional batteries and a charging system have been installed as well.
Because of the nature of my work, I also have a lot of communication equipment in the truck. Three GSM phones (for IFB and regular calling) a sat phone (Inmarsat BGAN), HF / VHF / UHF-radio, scanner, and another UHF mobile radio + six portables for production use.
Apparently I can only attach five pics per post so I'll send all the pics in four parts. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.
