Vertical speedline sections

Small drop zone 6ft - 6ft with a small slope so we opted to vertically speedline and film it so if any one was interested they could see what we did and how we did it. Behind the camera is some water butts and a building wall so best be safe than sorry. :thumbup1:

You wouldn't of fitted the stem in as a fell as it would of gone through the building. The fish eye lense makes the sides futher away but the camera itself was only 8ft away from the stem if that gives you any better visual reference. It had a slight slope, slabs laid on a sand base, fence close by and a load of full water butts. You probably could of got away with chogging it down and throwing it but there is always a chance of failure, granted a very slim chance in this case but for a few minutes more and as we had already been using the bollard on the branch work it makes sense.

 

Plus its a good example of the system setup.:biggrin:

 

Hope this answers your question?
