    Reg hello! I also started filming my work from this year. If suddenly you want to extend the shooting time of your camera, then just connect the wire with the power bank to it and remove the native battery so that the camera does not heat up. Fasten the power cable-adapter on the rear side of the helmet to the clamps and power the camera itself with the usual short charging cable. I can shoot up to 10 hours continuously with a 10,000A external battery in a small bag on my chest, and most importantly, this does not interfere with my work in a tree.

      @acadjukanovic6855 can't say just yet, unfortunately. Just finished filing the patent application, which has cost a lot of time and thousands of dollars in lawyers' fees. Have a very important meeting on Tuesday, which will decide who is manufacturing the device. Thereafter we will be able to produce the first batch which will be sent out for testing. It will be worth all the waiting. What don't you like about the Taz ?

    • @Recoates
      @Recoates  Рік тому +1

      @acadjukanovic6855 perhaps the Taz was designed for more static or slow moving rope access situations, and tree work was just an afterthought. Ideally, devices designed for treework should be fluent and smooth in transitions from stationary to moving and vice-versa. All the devices seem to have their stronger and weaker point. The zigzag is apparently very smooth. The Taz and Akimbo are very light and attach mid-line very efficiently. The Rope runner pro is currently the most popular on the market because it scores high in most categories. My device has a very different mechanism and feel to it. Because it's neither influenced or a copy of anyone else's work. It's taken a lot of patience, persistence and countless rebuilding/refining of components to perform like I think it should. The appearance will change slightly again to cater to mass manufacturing. But that's not a big deal at this stage. Another device worth looking into is called the Bulldog bone. I've never used one, but I hear excellent reports.
