Are you guys afraid of heights ?

<< < (6/6)

shmokes:
It is absolutely a helmet cam.  Look how steady it is.  No way this guy is tight roping across beams, while watching the LCD on his video camera to give us a steady shot of his feet.  Nobody could walk that route that swiftly, keeping the camera that steady, if he was holding it in his hand and watching the LCD.  Especially considering that he's not clipped to the wire.  There are quite a few very nice consumer helmet cams available these days.  They're not even particularly expensive.  I included a picture of a Samsung one.

And as boykster and ahoffle said, he's moving too smoothly to be clipped to the wire, since every time he reached a point where the wire is anchored to the cliff-side, he would have to unclip from the wire and reclip on the other side of the anchor, as you can see another hiker doing at 3:25.

patrickl:
Whatever it is, he doesn't have it mounted on his helmet. Look how low the point of view is. Looks more like he has the camera strapped to his chest.

Was looking for a picture of a chest mount and found this:
Chest camera footage (guy on a mountainbike racing down a BYO rollercoster type track)

shmokes:
I could go with that.  Actually, his shadow does look like he's got an apparatus on his chest/shoulders.

(+_+):
Yes.

I recently saw that video and the crumbled, narrow paths hanging of the side of cliffs sent shivers up my spine.

"One slip, and down the hole we fall."

No worth it to me.

fjl:
This was built in 1905. I imagine many people got hurt died and during the construction of it. Cause after all we know how much people cared about safety training back in the 1900's.  ::)

I wonder how they got cement to such an area.
