Jungle Lens & Lost Signal: How CARRBORG Walkie Talkies Kept Our Film Crew Connected

Shooting on location in the rainforests of Costa Rica seemed like a dream. The light was perfect, the terrain dramatic, and the team—seven passionate creatives—was ready for magic.

But by Day 2, the “magic” turned into a logistical nightmare.

Their phones were dead. GPS lagged. And drone operators on the ridge couldn’t reach the director in the valley. Delays stacked up, tensions rose—and then the weather shifted. Fast.

That's when Luis, the assistant DP, pulled out their secret weapon:

A pair of CARRBORG A63 Military-Grade Walkie Talkies.

Through pouring rain, dense jungle, and total cell dead zones, the team coordinated perfectly—calling retakes, directing drone angles, and even warning about falling branches.

By sunset, they had every shot in the can—and not a single lost crew member.

“Without these walkie talkies,” the director later said, “we would’ve had to pack up by noon. Instead, we made the best reel of our careers.”
