MU-26 | 43’ 3G Single Expando

MU-26 is a 43-foot 3G single-expando mobile production unit built for arena sports, collegiate coverage, and entertainment broadcasts. Nine Sony HDC-4300 HDR cameras, five M/Es of Grass Valley K-Frame switching, Ross NK routing with an HDR-capable AJA framesync chain, and a Calrec Brio audio room give mid-size shows a premium toolset in a footprint that sites almost anywhere.

Previously known as Whiskey, MU-26 joined the fleet in August 2026 as part of Live Media Group’s acquisition of Gravity Media’s U.S. mobile-production assets, arriving with a record on major U.S. broadcast work. It operates alongside more than 40 mobile units across Live Media, TNDV Television, and GameTime Productions.

Expanded, the truck opens to a 60′ × 22′ working footprint on standard three-phase 200-amp service. It’s sized for tight compounds and fast turnarounds, with a comms plant (including six telephone hybrids and ten KP panels) that talkback-heavy formats rarely find in this class.
