Thanks Tom this is a ll very useful. And yes 'what would you charge a broadcaster for using this service" & "what is the link from cam to the dish?" Surely most telly channels are actually going to want LiveU or the Weapon of Mass Television (WMT) with all their associated backendness…so this unit is handy for filing shoot/edit news cut from the field or for live streaming to the interweb only, right?

Id be worried about putting it on the ground, people knocking it or putting stuff on or near it. Of course LiveU really improves if put nice and high on a stand
Interesting video Tom. Bit surprised at the Wi-Fi range though. Was expecting much better.
For broadcast, ideally you don’t want to be tethered…
How weather proof is everything?
What would it be like performing in heavy rain or snow?
Also, does the magnetic mount cause any damage to the vehicle?
Thanks
