The rig started on Wednesday 5 August and Gravity Media’s mobile unit Columbus was at Kelly Slater’s Wave Pool to capture the action pushing the integrated RF and wireless communications whilst helping with COVID-19 restrictions. The Gravity Media team also also deployed 15 cameras on site including a jet ski system as well as two SSM, two RF, four EVSs, Freespeak, and a huge complement of RF microphones and IFBs.
The event was broadcast live on Fox in the USA, Channel 7 in Australia, TV Globo in Brazil and around the world on the WSL YouTube Channel reaching millions globally. A big shout out goes to WSL for putting this unique event!
Columbus is available for high-end 4K and UHD sports and entertainment productions and this particular mobile unit is the flagship of our fleet and the first mobile unit to feature a full 4K monitor wall, one-button hydraulic deployment and integrated RF.
The USA operation of Gravity runs a fleet of mobile units equipped with the most advanced HD and 4K technology available. Gravity Media has a mobile unit for every occasion, from Sprinter-based vans to custom-built semis.
