Tall Tree Climbing

Oregon scientific head cam, awesome bit of kit.

Have a look on http://www.iwoot.com

I paid just over £100 for the 3m water proof one, then bought 4GB SD card.

Will record 2hrs high resolution or 3 ½ low resolution.

The videos you see are high resolution.

they are ok for the money. i bought one but sold it as the lack of a wide angle lens wasnt so good.

if you do another event like this let me know, i may be interested in sponsoring it by supplying a dvd quality helmet camera system that i will be stocking shortly

Nice video mate, i enjoyed that, some fantastic views from the top.

Cheers Steve,

 

That would be really good, I'll bear it in mind! We'll hopefully be doing some more in the spring.

Impressive!!...ok I am just about to go to Nepal to do work with the RSPB. I will be climbing 30 – 35 metre trees (so no bigger really than the trees we sometimes work on). I will be using a mixture of SRT and normal tree climbing techniques. I was wondering what you found was the most efficient SRT set up(without power winch!) that you used as any saving on energy expenditure in the midday heat will be much appreciate. Thanks Steve

Steve.

We used the Frog walker SRT system.

If you want to have a closer look at the system and maybe even persuade the RSPB to buy a powered ascender.

Get in touch.
