Taking photos up in the tree

[SRTRAD]

How do you guys take photos while you are in a tree? I am too scared of dropping a camera or phone, so I dont take photos. I would like to though, do you have any tipps for me?

I just use my phone or a shock camera with a leash. im not really worried about droping it cause i got a carhartt case that works well, plus im in more wooded areas with tall grass, i could drop an egg 20ft and it wouldnt break

Remember that involving a phone or camera is a distraction. You may be rolling a video and describing something, even something about safety, and then you forget this is real life and make an error while focusing on the camera rolling. You can put two holes in the wrist of an old work glove and hang your modern phone with awesome camera from your belt. tie in twice before you go for it. don't answer the phone. unless its your groundie calling. and when the video is rolling, increase your focus on your safety. I think after reading this thread, I'll start using a tether as well. Then I'd have the readiness to drop it for other priorities at a moment's notice. I would think a go pro is better if I learned more. just found it annoying on my helmet.
