Re: Cirkut Camera in a cherry picker

[Robert Erickson <cirkut8@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 16 foot tripod for my Cirkut that has always
done thee job for me so far. Brad Lapane uses his
Cirkut in cherry pickers all the time. He is a fireman
and has used those really big ones. :-)

Another idea might be one of those scissor lifts. They
have some on wheels that attach to your car in trailer
fashion. Brad used one for his famous 1st night game
at Wrigley Field. He towed it to the sidewalk out side
the stadium. Just before the start of the game he
scissored it up, got the shot, scissored down and
towed it away before anybody from the Cubs
organization knew what happened. Of course he had
sample prints from other events to show the cops what
he was doing so they left him alone.
