USING AN EXOSKELETON
IN REAL-WORLD SETTINGS
by Ken Strain and Bryan Cahill
As Bryan Cahill wrote in the 2019 spring edition of Production Sound
& Video, Brandon Frees, Ekso Bionics VP of Sales, provided him with a
loaner EksoVest, thus allowing working microphone boom operators to
give it a test drive in real-world conditions for a week or two at a time. As
part of that trial, Ken Strain and Corey Woods were able to use the vest on
the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest. Bryan then brought the vest to Mike
Anderson on Goliath.
In this article, Ken, Corey and Mike share their thoughts about using the
vest on actual shoots.
