Mobile Image has been in business since 1986.

Our first van in 1986, a recycled ABCTV Perth van. Long since gone to truck heaven.

We use freelance broadcast crews or work in with your own crews.

ADVANTAGES:

· Here to provide technical service and support to our clients.

· Making judicious use of modern lower-cost better-performance kit, where possible, to reduce complexity and costs for clients

· Traditional broadcast values and standards maintained, no matter what the means of distribution and viewing: not an AV or IT operation.

· Carefully-planned and risk-managed OBs; thanks to years of experience!

· Genuine good technical knowledge and support.
