found footage (old Beech removal)

[scotspine1]

found one of those old mobile phone memory cards whilst clearing out some drawers today. It's a few ground views of a job I've posted before (helmetcam), only a minute's worth. WARNING: if it does have vertical video syndrome

Nice Tim

 

Think the legginess of the tree lent itself well to the vertical filming.

 

Sounds?

That's a big tree Tim.

Loved the tune as well.

interesting job that Mark, it's one of only two trees I've ever dismantled that I decided to put a Picus on before I went ahead with the climbing/rigging, some would say a bit over cautious or extravagant but client was happy to pay for it and I wanted to see the extent of the decay as I needed to rig off the tree itself, seeing the Picus readings helped me decide how I was gonna bring the tree down

 

Kretzch was the cause - looks ok from the outside doesn't it?

[Mark Bolam]

Yeah, nowt wrong with it really.

I could have told you that....

That's a smart bit of kit, how long does it take to get the image of the cross section?

further up the stem was better, some quality firewood came out that tree

[scotspine1]

At a glance I thought the trunk had been rigged with C4 explosives!

 

not joking, if we were allowed I would've, just put a tensioned pull rope in the top of the tree for a bit of direction control.....press the button, job done.

from taking the kit out and setting it up to getting image - about half an hour for that one

Anyone know how much a Picus kit is?
