Kit to the future
on 06 May 2008
Kevin Sites filed text, video, images and audio from twenty wars for the duration of one year between 2005-2006 for the
Yahoo HotZone project. Pictured above is
the equipment he took with him. It all fitted inside one rucsac. Just a couple of years later and I think it'd be even smaller than it was back then. But what would you replace? And what would you replace it with? Here's what he had
Sony HDR-HC1 - High-Definition Digital Camcorder (With X 0.7 Wide Angle Converter Lens)
Samsung SC-X105L - Digital Camcorder With “Headcam.â€
Apple 12-inch PowerBook - Laptop Computer.
Hughes R-BGAN - Satellite Modem
Thuraya/Hughes 7101 - Portable Satellite Phone.
Palm Treo 650 GSM - Mobile “Smart†Phone link
Compare and contrast with what
Naka Nathaniel worked with for the New York Times until recently.
