Love the car kit tour.

[@scotey]

Yeah, that was fun. What a secure rig with all those bars.

[@MaxoticsTV]

Every cranky person needs a friend like Will who never gets down (or shows it), rain or shine. When he said, "this is my big boy camera." You might have said, "what about getting a Burano" and he would have delivered it perfectly, "What's a Burano, is that a new kind of burrito?"

[@praisemedia1568]

Love your content… the way you take your time to educate your son and pass a valuable skill onto his is phenomenal.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

Thos big Sony's have deep menus and learning them is key to setup speed.

[@ToxicMetropolis]

The difference between "set it to X" and "how many positions are there and what do they say?" - obviously David's son learning stuff on the job is like a small sub-plot of these video, but I do love it.

[@Tommy_Beal]

I like Rich already! What a cool guy! And I love how optimized his setup and car is!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@CrankyCameraman]

Love Rich. On a good day I have 30% of his ambition and energy.

[@Tommy_Beal]

@@CrankyCameraman hahaha

[@ShortFootMedia]

0:57 "I think that's true" lol. Always love your videos cranky! Hope your son recovered quickly!

[@ToxicMetropolis]

I've got 10 bucks on the subtle humor of these videos being one day compiled and analysed by some youtuber!

[@donovanjgardener]

The foam box blew my mind! Lol! Great video, David. It was interesting to see someone elses setup. Hope your son is feeling better. I HATE dealing with stomach stuff.

[@CrankyCameraman]

First for me too!

[@frax777]

Just discovered your channel, love the content! I'm here for the long run😉

[@CrankyCameraman]

Thanks.

[@JoATTech]

Dope car, but I guess I would still prefer the VAN :D. Yet for this border situation seems like 110% fit.

[@12yfilms]

Great stuff!!!!

[@ToxicMetropolis]

Another cool episode, great to see other people's set ups - I'd totally watch that kind of guest appearance more often. Rich's compartmentalization is super nice, you can see the logic behind it and why it works. I love this approach. "Kit your Sh!t", as someone said. I did notice one... redundancy in his ride: that Kartmaster could be mounted on the front in place of the ram bar, haha - but I'm only half kidding, it's the toughest cart out there by a country mile. Q: Is the audio dropping off on Rich couple of times? At first I thought maybe you're bleeping him, but didn't seem like it.

[@CrankyCameraman]

@ToxicMetropolis DJI mics dropped out. You are right on the kartmaster. The only cart which can survive weekly baggage handlers.

[@ToxicMetropolis]

@@CrankyCameraman I know they record internally, too, but several drop outs at such close range are not exactly confidence inspiring :/

[@CrankyCameraman]

@@ToxicMetropolis Yes, I don't trust them for work, other than very disposable items.

[@AndersBakfeldt]

Great episode, thx!

[@ideaplusagency]

With the button up and khakis ...AND the truck ...he looks like FBI!! Lol

[@danbrockettDOP]

Great stuff David. Is there a way you can ask your son if he can give you the link to the 3D printer file for those slick Osee T5+ screen covers? I have looked on Thingverse, etc. and I can't find the file and I need one. I'm currently dismounting my T5+ and carrying it in a soft Porta brace bag but it would save time to just leave it on the camera but I'm afraid of the screen getting scratched up in my camera bag. Great tip on the Foam Block, just ordered one! Thanks!

[@CrankyCameraman]

@@danbrockettDOP yes. I’ll get it from him and report back.

[@danbrockettDOP]

@@CrankyCameraman You're the best David!

[@CrankyCameraman]

Here is the original design. We cut a slot in the bottom so it can slide on and off while the monitor is mounted to a noga arm. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6128813

[@danbrockettDOP]

@@CrankyCameraman Thanks David and tell your Son thank you too, very helpful of you guys, much appreciated.

[@leoquesto9183]

Interesting. Dig your vids!

[@skymakai]

I’m curious how to start getting ENG gigs.

[@CrankyCameraman]

Staff job at a local news station. I started at a government cable channel. Then live sports “outside broadcast.”

[@JoATTech]

"I'm easy to find" :D

[@IMDABROWN]

After looking at the bars on his windows, I’d like to see a segment about personal protection. Being in an open carry state and being in rough environments, I’d like to hear how you and /or others protect yourselves and equipment.

[@CrankyCameraman]

Love Texas. Experienced more crime in California. Will leave it there.

[@IMDABROWN]

@@CrankyCameraman taxation, high cost of living, and disarmament. I get it.

[@LoganPowaski]

That’s probably the most tame Waffle House experience

[@LongLiveTheFilmmaker]

Everyone does everything to avoid getting a mini van Two sliding doors and enough room to put tons of gear but god forbid someone looks “uncool”

[@MrAndrewClaycomb]

The combination of low roof and low deck can be a real back killer if you aren’t traveling with carts ready to roll out. And if you’re going that far, I’d rather have a cargo style minivan with solid sheet metal window panels.

[@LongLiveTheFilmmaker]

@@MrAndrewClaycomb yes because moms who put strollers and such are always complaining about back problems about their minivans

[@MrAndrewClaycomb]

This isn’t hypothetical. Productions love to rent minivans on travel jobs, and they suck to load a bunch of pelicans in and out of. And also, moms do in fact complain about their backs hurting while loading their kids in and out of cars.

[@ToxicMetropolis]

@@LongLiveTheFilmmaker The cart alone Rich has in the back has got more weight than a stroller, even with a baby in it, though.

[@ToxicMetropolis]

I hire estate/wagon cars as much as I can, if I can fit everything in and there's no problem with kit being visible. An SUV is a default hire if I'm with a crew, etc. - more space for everyone and their stuff. It's all about what's the right rig for the job. In this case, if the ex-cop-car works for access, it's a win.
