The POV1 has been getting quite the workout these days.

One more for the show: opcorn:

Some tie offs and lowering (Gazebo below), but mostly cut and chuck. -Would not want to have rigged to this spar anyways... it wouldn't have handled it.

To soften the landing of the chunks I used a tire inside a tire (a trick I learn on AS )

It was a Sunday job. Family came to assist.

You have good aim. Gingerly on those branches, hah? Nice job.

That POV puts the viewer right in the driver's seat. Good job on the video and the questionable tree.

Cool vid. Good timing with the music on the first chunk. I also liked the rapid succession of chunks coming off towards the end. And the tire idea, pretty neat.

Yeah, good shooting with the tire there.

Man! How tall do ya figure that piece was??

How tall do ya figure that piece was??

About 60 feet. The POV camera head is wide angle (110 degrees) and therefore the height seems a little taller than it actually is.
