The radio communication
Gibba has a strong passion for adventure and mystery, that’s why he explores extreme places to find deeply buried treasures. During his missions, he needs easy and quick communication with his team. Thanks to Midland walkie-talkies, the metal detectorist is always in touch with his traveling companions, even in places where mobile phones have no signal.
Gibba uses walkie-talkies not only during his missions, but also on set in order to manage the behind the scenes sessions at best. Watch Gibba's video during the shoot: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSaL5Modxn/
