ENG/Live Remote

Electronic news gathering (ENG) is fast, small, and efficient — from a solo journalist with a camera to a full crew doing a live satellite hit from a remote location. ENG crews typically run 3–4 people and move quickly. There’s no time to reset or redo.

I work regularly in the ENG market, from multi-camera sit-down interviews to live shots from remote locations. The bag package — Sound Devices 833, Shure Axient Digital wireless, Schoeps or Sanken microphones — is built for exactly this kind of work. Fast to set up, reliable in the field, and able to handle anything from a single lav to a multi-person panel.

Live remote work for network news and sports has been a consistent part of the job for over two decades.
