PoleCam!

Pole Cam

High Altitude Photography

PoleCam Capture

Mitchster in action. Remote Shutter Releasing

Mitch, Dan, and I tested out Mitch's engineous new PoleCam tm. It worked out great! Although quite a bit of a scare hoisting it up and bringing it back down to earth when fully extended to 26 feet, (8 meters). There is considerable wobble fully extended. i am anxious to see the shots from PoleCam.

    That would scare me, I would have to start with a camera I didnt mind losing.

    That's pretty cool. I saw something like that on TV once where they had the camera on top of a pole and it was mounted inside a wood frame and could be tilted and rotated remotely using servo motors. I've been wanting to try this for a while.

    Certainly would provide an interesting angle.

    It was only really scary when he had it fully extended. Thats when things got really wobbly. At about 18 to 20 feet it was only mildly scary.
    All in all I was glad it was not my camera hoisted in the air like that... but I will say Mitch got some seriously cool shots.

    I still laugh when I look at this. Even if it had turned out to be a total failure..... I.E. the pictures had not turned out.....of which it SO was not.... it was one of the more fun and hilarious shoots we had been on. Finding ways to exercise the PolCamTM was an operation in comedy all by itself..... we WERE the three stooges.
