Multimedia road kit
NYTimes.com's Naka Nathaniel, a Paris-based multimedia journalist who travels the globe and produces multimedia features for the site, tells Steve Outing he uses the following equipment: "My kit isn't all that burdensome. I carry a Mac G4 laptop and an IBM T21, however both are getting pretty beaten up. I use a Sony MiniDisc recorder and I carry a couple of cameras, with my favorite being the Canon D60. Recently, I've also been carrying a PD-150. I do the photo, audio, video, and Flash work on the Mac. When the feature is ready to file I use a USB thumb drive to move the elements over to the IBM. I use the PC to access the servers in New York, do e-mail, and surf the web. I have at least a half-dozen ways to connect and transmit. In Iran we used the RBGAN satellite transmitter to file. About 20 percent of the kit is devoted to converters, chargers, and cords. It is getting easier to file with more wi-fi networks starting to show up."
