bweger1234 (Apr 8, 2010 at 8:28)

alot of follow cars ive seen have been made out of Porsche Cayenne's

iamthatguy (Apr 8, 2010 at 10:03)

waste of fucking money

o8demo8 (Apr 13, 2010 at 2:39)

makes sense to me, powerful, quick, smooth ride for camera stability. what would u pick?

mtbKELSEY (Apr 13, 2010 at 10:57)

hows that a waste of money!?

iamthatguy (Apr 13, 2010 at 13:32)

cuase you could get a pos car and do the same thing

mtbKELSEY (Apr 13, 2010 at 18:36)

a pos car wouldn't have the handling or acceleration needed, nor the custom suspension to support thousands of extra pounds worth of crane and camera...

iamthatguy (Apr 14, 2010 at 15:53)

dude, you could just beef up the suspension on a small 2 wheel drive truck.

mtbKELSEY (Apr 15, 2010 at 7:13)

but still to a production company money is nothing, the rig atop that Mercedes is worth MORE than the Mercedes and Porsche COMBINED

iamthatguy (Apr 15, 2010 at 12:06)

true

tombutlerr (Jun 25, 2010 at 12:34)

use a old range rover or something, would be fine

iamthatguy (Jun 25, 2010 at 18:06)

the suspension would half to be modified if they did.

mtbKELSEY (Jun 25, 2010 at 23:06)

yea i agree with iamthatguy, and they use computer systems in sync with the car and crane that just wouldnt be compatible with an older model car.

tombutlerr (Jun 26, 2010 at 0:14)

mtbKESLEY, i didnt realize it had all computer shit in it.

mtbKELSEY (Jun 26, 2010 at 7:08)

yeah, its really crazy how much money and technology go into it!

iamthatguy (Jun 26, 2010 at 15:46)

that benz is probaly more computer then car

mtbKELSEY (Jun 26, 2010 at 21:53)

its actually a transformer...

iamthatguy (Jun 27, 2010 at 9:48)

OMFG, NO WAY! optimusfilmstar? lol

mtbKELSEY (Jun 27, 2010 at 10:19)

EXACTLY! the camera actually turns into a shockwave gun

iamthatguy (Jun 28, 2010 at 9:56)

HOLY FUCK. I WANT I WANT.

AdamG9 (Apr 7, 2010 at 20:20)

thats a damn serious rig!

retoid (Apr 8, 2010 at 8:36)

I like how this is labeled "Common Follow Car" in the article.
There is a lot of envy for your job! Awesome stuff.

csermonet (May 23, 2011 at 21:06)

that looks like something with way higher of a budget than freeride, more like a warner brothers movie

Hombre3000 (Apr 7, 2010 at 18:10)

That is so cool. So cool!

saturnine (Apr 25, 2010 at 18:50)

that suspension is slammed.

nomorepb (Jun 7, 2010 at 9:59)

attach one of those on your helmet and film yourself.

rattbones (Jun 27, 2010 at 12:47)

You wouldn't think a Mercedes would be the first choice for this.

daniel661 (Apr 7, 2010 at 14:43)

pannepacker (Apr 8, 2010 at 0:15)
