OMG was that some boring looking ####! I can't imagine how you stayed awake long enough to edit that.. even worse than vets over the deck snoozer! Good job though..

Ya its my first mac and first time i ever tried messing with this so it took forever to make crap hopefully i will get faster and better at it with time. we are picking one of a roof with it tomorrow witch i hope will make some good video.

Did you shoot all of that with the helmet cam on your head? You're going to want to get a second camera to get another point of view to be able to mix in to make it more interesting. You have to be careful about adding your own music to anything you post on YouTube because it will get flagged as unlicensed content.

Your phone number went by too quickly to really register, you need to expand the number of frames that it overlays to keep it on the screen longer. You can do this by grabbing the title ribbon on top of the frames used and stretch it to cover more frames to be on the screen longer.

Ya that i video stuff isn't bad to use at all. and as far as getting to camera's their that might be impossible i catch crap all day now with the helmet camera. i was riding the boom and every time i went up i turned it on and every time i did that i heard quite fudging around and cut the effin tree down.

lol! I get that a lot, that's why I don't have many good pics or vids!

Tight vid, Matt. It was a little like rewinding the same arb moves over and over from where I'm sitting. Not sure about where you're coming from though. No prob though.

I'm sure you want to blow some people away with a compilation vid. Think "The Best of Bulldog Tree Care" with all of best of what you pull off with the crane for the next few months or whatever. :msp_unsure: Sure, why not right?

Quit fugging around and cut the fugging tree down ....

Trying to get good video and pics disrupts the workflow and slows down the job. I've brought in videographers whose only job was to get footage and that works the best. I even got one guy to come up in the tree with me. He had some rock climbing experience and loved it.

Trouble is a pro videographer costs more than a climber to bring in for a day. Then there is the editing, it's really easy on a Mac with iMovie but it is still very time consuming to do. Usually I have to watch the raw footage over and over as I edit it down. Editing video is both an art and a skill and bringing in a producing company can be very expensive but the finished product is likely much better than my efforts so far.

I think you should have saved yer money fer a cheap pair of sneakers.

No, faster is not what you want with that thing. Yeah, you spent a lot of money so the crew could stand around. Yeah, if I had one I wouldn't need a crew... until I got into the big stuff. Yeah, you should keep that truck on level ground. No, there is not enough outriggers. Yeah, you are pushing max pretty much everytime. Yeah, one cold day the battery will die and raise the hairs on the back of yer neck. Yeah, the job by the fence I could have done by myself without any type of crane in a day. No, I won't work for you. Yeah, you have a very versitle but very finicky crane. Yeah, I am leary of it. Yeah, you'll need to keep yer eye on it and the truck its mounted to. Yeah, if you expected me to put 7k on it at full extension I would come down and ask you to do it. Just sayin.

Other than that it was a good show. Nice work.

You see how that boom flexed and the tree hit the ground? That's one of those finicky things I was talking about.

No, I am not talking to you AA, I am talking to Bartlett boy, X, MDS, 101 and the like. No joke, you need to be extra cautious with those.

I don't know why the thing wasn't set up in a more verticle stance anyway.

They are built for massive amounts of deflection thats there thing, watch some of Mike Poors pics , he deflect that booms like a fishing pole hooked on a rubber tire , and supposedly that machine can work flat out . forget all you know about hydros these cranes are like night and day ...

Dan I'm never even actually working at 60-70 percent of the compacity of the boom their designed to flex like that at max load they look like a rainbow. and as far as level ground the truck has a sensor system in it to not operate on level enough ground. but as far as max not even close. right their your looking at 60% boom extension when you start talking 14k you gotta get the manual extensions out. i pick with cranes exclusively daily for years now the whole truck has backups for its backups thats why those booms are 100g's alone for base models. i have a dynamometer built in i can see the weight of every pick. the one we just built at max your talking close in around 30 thousand pounds at around 100 feet.
