Cable reels are a PITA - they take up far too much room - and long

even on a basic single camera drama shoot.
Except the commonest form of snake in live situations is on a reel.

Well I don't buy in any cables. And the same applies to snakes as singles
- on a drum they take up far more room - and take more time to rig and
derig. The other problem with a drum is if you wish to run out a little
more you have to go to the drum and unplug it before doing so. A snake etc
that is laid out in a figure of eight makes this simple.
