Broadcast Camera Snake

And there we have it! the completed camera snake, ready for broadcast use. (well its not pretty yet, but once I have a shorter firewire cable it will be 100% done)

But I do have a finished 200ft cable that passes power and DV to and from between the camera and producers location. Overall I'm quite satisfied, and as long as the cable stands up to portable use I believe this will serve me quite well for run and gun broadcasts. The end goal of this project was for the cameraman to only have to drag one cable behind them and this has been accomplished to satisfaction.
