We have experienced severe weather crews and guides on standby all year round. Our crews regularly shoot for National Geographic, Discovery and The Weather Channel. We have fully equipped cameramen based in the UK and USA ready to travel at a moments notice. All of our camera men and guides have at least four years of in the field storm chasing experience. They have weather proofed camera kits, field editing equipment and access to our internet based video distribution network. That way we can get footage out of areas where traditional satellite links may be unusable. As well as filming equipment we have a wide range of safety equipment including helmets, goggles, waterproof and winter clothing ropes and harnesses. Plus to help us get in to position we have a range of GPS satellite navigation systems. For communications we have VHF/UHF radios as well as a wide selection of mobile and satellite phones. For the USA we have a Xm Baron satellite weather data system. |
