Tornado Video Probe FOR SALE!!!

[Michael Carlson]

Hi everyone,

I am selling a tornado video probe that was used by a Japanese film crew doing a tornado documentary. Here is some footage I believe from one of the other probes, but I can not find the exact footage. TORNADO PROBE VIDEO

Specs: 1' 11" X 1' 11" X 1" 4" I am not sure how thick the metal is but the whole probe weighs around 80lbs to 90lbs, I can barely lift it by myself. The windows are made out of Lexan and the probe holds four cameras. One pointing straight out, one to the right, one to the left, and one camera pointing straight up. All the camera mounts are there and working. They are quick release mounts so you can easily pull them out if you need to.

Its ready to be dropped in front of a tornado, hail shaft, made into a coffee table of some sort, door stop maybe, whatever you might want to do with it.

I am selling it for $150.00 I cant ship it anywhere so if your coming to the chasercon I will have it with me if you want to look at it. PM me if your interested.

That wasn't a bad deal. I suspect the sheet steel cost about that much and the time and effort to build is a wash. How long did it take to build?
