Unfortunately this is not the case, however we recently encountered a communications company called G6 Global Communications [...]
One of my favourite suppliers of equipment is DogCamSport – they often seem to have just the right bit of kit for those awkward little jobs that crop up more than we would perhaps like! Their kit also comes out of the box ready to go and is in my experience very well manufactured. I [...]
