Why Choose a TVPG Flypack?

Flypacks designed for Live Event Shooting & Streaming
TV Pro Gear Flypacks are designed for shooting, broadcasting and streaming events such as sports, concerts and conferences. They are used by NBC, CBS, Fox Sports, ESPN, Bloomberg, the WWE and dozens of churches, schools and government entities. TV Pro Gear built systems can be found all over the world in countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Canada, Egypt, Libya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Trinidad and Bulgaria.


Every Flypack Built is Better Than the Last One
Andrew Maisner, the founder of TV Pro Gear built the first Flypack in 1978. “Every Flypack we build is slightly better than the last one as new technology evolves. In addition, we continue to find incremental improvements in our manufacturing techniques that make the Flypacks more reliable, easier to use and with improved ergonomics,” says Andrew Maisner.


Fastest to Setup and the Most Reliable Flypacks
TV Pro Gear Flypacks are fabricated from aircraft quality steel, aluminum and carbon fiber. Our competitors use multiple boxes to make up their systems. These boxes must be connected together with dozens of short cables. Inevitably,

these interconnect cables are lost, damaged or connected incorrectly leading to frustrations and delays. Because all the equipment is installed in a single frame, our systems are faster to setup and more reliable.
