What's the ultimate camera friendly vehicle?
I'm in the market for a second vehicle. I was just wondering what some might consider a "photo" friendly vehicle?
I'd consider anything from a unimog to a miata (lean strongly towards 4wd though).
Some issues to consider in my search:
1. Security for gear while away from the vehicle (really need a trunk).
2. Ease of shooting from the drivers seat.
3. Economy/long range would be nice for those 500 mile day trips (unimog is off the list).
4. ground clearance would be nice so I can pull off the road and not catch the grass on fire (ok, there goes the miata).
5. Four wheel would be nice since I live close to a fairly remote beach with a lot of soft sand.
6. Would be nice if it could double for a daily driver (currently driving a 3/4 ton diesel truck daily).
I've seriously considered things like SUV's, small 4x4 4 door trucks, Jeep, Subaru Forester and a bunch of others. Would be nice to hear what others are using for camera platforms and camera friendly road tripping.
I have to considered this camera gear in a convoluted way.. (-:}
