News crews know the advantages of the HI-POD. All disaster and crime scene investigations involve the police establishing a perimeter around the scene. This means that no civilians are allowed within that perimeter- that often includes news crews as well. This makes it very difficult for news cameramen to get the shot. That all changes with the HI-POD. Because the HI-POD extends as much as 31 feet above obstacles and barricades, you can get a clear shot of the news event.
