I dont want to sound negative about the unclipping but you should never put yourself or other in an unknown risk by rigging something out that worries you enough to unclip and have concerns about the anchor. A correctly spread anchor point shouldnt heave stems together that much. I've said my pennies worth not looking for a justification just pointing out to newbiees thats its not really what you should do.

Just a few from this mornings site.

I use a boat when it gets too deep.

Did you climb the backs or platform? Theres going to be a lot of stuff.

if you buy separate you can get a kit that suits your needs.

could possibly beat it but i think it would have to be on one of those +18 sites

That made me smile a lot and reminded me of 70's kids programs. Re-runs of course

The morning after waking up next to adam bourne at jonsies show.

30fps it shouldnt be jumpy, might be the size of the file on your computer vs current running programs. I bought a new comp a couple of years ago because of this. Software wise a lot see to use either sony, windows movie maker or i movie. I personally use final cut pro 10 but then again i use it 2-3 times a month on other projects so its worth the investment for me. Dont assume the software min spec relates to the file size of the recording.

looks like it went smoother than my first every climbing, rigging job. Well done.
-
Cheers David, I quite enjoyed the second one. Something i know very little on but now i feel i know a little bit more.
