Today I was contracted to shoot the first test of the new AussieSkySaw, designed to trim the powerline tree-lines here in Oregon.
Huge thing. The saw is about 70 feet long and is suspended by a 100 foot pole under the Sea king. At the bottom is a V6 Mazda motor to drive the saw blades.
This first test was a partial success and a partial disapointment (for the saw company). A few belts broke while cutting. It did fantastic job while it was in the air. They are now making modifications to the saw and it will be cutting again in a few weeks.
Here are some digital stills took inbetween the video shooting.
