Cable Cam Shots

Here are some shots from my cable cam first day at the mtn with it. I used a bait cash fishing reel to control speed and get it back to me. Still needs some tweaking but defiantly something that will work well.

not bad.  Add a little bit of weight to the bottom of the sled to steady it.

nice work. I just tested mine out today. just off the roof of my house. I use a climbing rope with a few pulleys. never thought of using a reel to stop the camera at the end and getting it back. good idea

Dude, mad K for that.  I love the idea of using the reel!  Can you pm me some pictures of it and a list of what you used to build it?  That would really help me because I was planning on making one but did not know what to use.
