you may be onto something, but you can (assuming its got remote gear)
drive the car about without being in it. So it would be a bit silly
if you could not.

it is a remote turret after all.

wether he is it the car or not.
he could attach to the turret (one port) or the car (one port), the
car having effectively a two port remote deck in it (you got to add
it when you do the turret but) one port for the turret and one for
the car, a remote deck is after all a 'rigger control splitter box',
so i don't see why all the splitting has to be done it one
physical box!
