Speedline

This is one of my first speedline jobs. I copied a vhs to my digi camcorder and the loaded it to the computer.

Your second anchor/tree looked to be perfectly positioned there, ideal for maintaining the roof clearance. The VHS conversion appears to have worked well.

Out of interest, how many times a year do you use a speedline?

ive got a real nice speedline job coming up....thinking about paying someone to come in and video it.

I dont even do it once a year...especially since I got the crane. Before that maybe once or twice. It is well worth it when the set up is right.

Nice job. Great video. Did you have a load-line in the first tree that was also used to control the speed of the pieces? In the second tree you used the speedline as a "zipline" and either attached or dumped the pieces directly onto it? How did you remove the spars when the time came, block them down?

Yes there was a haulback/load line. The line went thru the redirect tree and wrapped off on a pickup. The truck applied the tension and to lower the wraps were let loose. If I did it today I would use my grcs.
