Winch photo shoot

[edsd90]

I haven't been able to share this previously, but now that information has been released to the media, I can share some images.
We spent three days shooting back in early June, starting at sunrise to about 9am, then again in the late afternoon until sunset. In addition to my Frontier, there were two Jeeps, a Defender 90, and a Toyota Tacoma. The Nissan shots were taken primarily for international marketing and advertising, and to show the winch mounted in an ARB bumper. Generally, they want the winch fully exposed for advertising purposes, but there's also a large market that uses remote mounted control packs and a hidden winch.
Here's a few shots I took while waiting my turn in front of the cameras. The first shot is heading up to the shooting location about 5am. The second is a shot taken while setting up for some video and stills. The last shot shows the control pack mounted on the ARB bumper.

Hi Mike - Yes, it is the Zeon, and what a great departure in winch design. Aside from the improved mechanicals, they look fantastic! Every detail goes beyond what all of us have come to expect from a winch.
The shots I've shown were on some private land, just outside the Gorge National Scenic Area, east of Portland along the Columbia River. From here, we drove several hours SE into central Oregon to the Christmas Valley Dunes, for a couple more shooting times.
Attached is a good shot I took of one of the Jeeps, which will gives a great overview of the scenery immediately behind us in the Gorge, with Mt Hood looming in the background, and another of our campsite very early in the morning at the dunes location.
