Ford Chopped Up These Cars So Photographers Can Shoot from the Back
Over in Europe, Ford has created special ‘Camera Tracking Unit’ cars for photographers to shoot publicity photos from. The cars are standard Ford cars that have been modified — the back has been chopped off and turned into a rear-facing seat specifically for a photographer.
While the main interior area of the cars remains unchanged for the driver, the back has been completely custom built to provide a seat, a special tripod mount, and a number of different mounting points located around the edge.
This car lets you shoot cars on a track with a setup that’s much safer than looking out the open door of a standard minivan.
“Why would car companies rent special camera cars spending a ton of money in the process every year when they can also built some themselves?” Petrány writes over on Jalopnik.
