WLKY Skycrane Erickson Antenna Lift

[@ishgumi44]

Absolutely breathtaking. Balls of steel. Excellent videography, too!

[@rudycarv2197]

Astonishing and Hats off for the whole team so well synchronised

[@ommanomnom]

Exceptionally skilled pilot. Such a tight space to fly so accurately and remaining stable with such a large machine with a massive load

[@PavelMy]

Are you talking about the one from which the video was taken?

[@Pixelsplasher]

Seriously, my hats off to the drone pilot as well!

[@bradswarren]

Not a drone. Filmed from a TV station helicopter with gyro stabilized lens

The cutest looking helicopter I have ever seen. The entire team is brave and super. I never saw anything like this before. May the Lord keep you all safe and strong

[@mikedye480]

Nice work, Brad. You may not remember, but you and I worked together at Horizon Helicopters back in the 90's. I just found your channel and thought you should know that I remember you with great respect. Looks like Erickson has treated you well, my friend. Regards. Mike Dye

Respect to the entire team efforts. Salute from Indian🇮🇳

[@Rocketman88002]

WOW!!! Flying in between those guy wires that are only 120° apart from each other takes precise control of the sky crane. Improper use of the drone! It should be still. That background spinning distracts the viewer.

[@cameron_krause]

I’m pretty sure it’s a helicopter filming

[@TheBoatPirate]

either way(drone or chopper), that spinning is bogus. totally nauseating. i started thinking it was a green screen and done on purpose. 😂

Not a drone, video was taken from another small helicopter orbiting the area😊

I worked for (Weldwood of Canada) a Logging company on the Westcoast of British Columbia, Canada (Toba Inlet) in the late 80s laying out Heli blocks that were logged by an Air-Crane, lifting massive fir, cedar, spruce, hemlock, balsam logs off the steep side hills and water dropping the logs into the water of the inlet, had some pretty cool pictures of the Erickson Air-Crane in action

[@SteveSnowman]

Very Cool. I used to fish up there. I would watch those Heli loggers in action, I still get goose-bumps thinking about that. - N Idaho -

[@jeffjensen27]

No Different Than Helicopter 🚁 Flying In Lift Towers For Ski Resorts. 🤔☝️👍👏

[@bradswarren]

Actually Jeff it is significantly different than ski towers especially depending on AGL height. For example, a 2000’ agl tower. This is because your ground reference is useless, way too far below to be of any use. On a single tower, all you’ll have for reference is a single point in “space” and you’d find this to be quite different. On a Candlalabra style Comm tower it’s a bit easier as you can reference the other arms😊

[@lobosfer10]

Maravilloso trabajo profesional. Tengo una duda y no entiendo la causa de por qué el paisaje detrás del video giraba y los operarios en la torre siempre estaban tomados desde el mismo ángulo ¿?

[@Mike.o.s.b]

Очень впечатляет мысль о том, что этот вертолет был впервые зарегистрирован в 1968 году и до сих пор имеет действующий сертификат летной годности. Спасибо за загрузку видео.

[@gotit547]

Great drone and chopper pilot work. Two questions 1. Is it allowed to use that area with such load or is it everyone evacuated from that area? 2. Is drone allowed to operate in such close vicinity of the chopper?

[@bradswarren]

It’s a secure area, was not filmed with a drone, but rather a TV News helicopter with a great gyro stabilized lens

[@jhonsiders6077]

That news chopper orbiting around the tower about made me dizzy with the close up !

[@muhammadshakeelahmed2839]

Why the background of the video was moving so fast whereas the drone camera was still at the time of installing Antenna. it made installation process so scary and thrilling.

[@bradswarren]

This was filmed from another helicopter circling the antenna from a distance with zoom lens

[@guerrilleroheroico5669]

[@ATREY178]

@@bradswarren Mybe. But if filming hellicopter stay on one place, or moving slowly, It would be better. In zoom shots it's hard to look at it. It's like on carousel and it gives me a headache. Great video, bad filming...

[@bradswarren]

The video was done from a TV news helicopter which was constantly in orbit around the tower. When zoomed in, everything appears to be moving quickly in the backghround

[@saeedkaukab1791]

WHAT A PERFORMANCE OF SKILL, ACURACI AND COORDINATION BETWEEN THE PILOT AND THE MEN ON THE TOWER. WELL DONE.👍🥇👍

[@wc8246]

Unrelated to the engineering, but the way the tower and the helicopter look like they're spinning/in motion past 6:20 is the same effect you see in lots of 'ufo' videos, and can give the illusion of huge speed and instant changes in direction when the object itself might be moving much slower, or even not moving at all.

[@nickmalone3143]

Amazing that those small engines have that much lift capacity

[@robertpalmer3166]

The engines have zero lift capacity. The rotors do the lifting.

[@MyronW-h2x]

There are actually 2 pilots on these lifts: 1 flying the crane and the other facing backward controlling the line that lifts and places the object on the top of the tower. My brother was one of the " backseat" pilots. Yes, it takes absolute precision and coordination between both pilots and the crew on top of the tower using constant radio communication.

[@bradswarren]

There’s actually 3 pilots, 2 up front and the one in back seat. Who was your brother? I should know him😊

Why is the background spinning? The camera was in just about in one fixed position with very little shifting around.

Saw one of these skycranes in 1980 and it was lifting huge air conditioning system up on top of a 30-40 story building. Very impressive though these did have some maintenance issues still a great concept.

[@700kotchi]

Could the WLKY TV helicopter not stay still? I couldn't watch the whole thing because I got dizzy. Some people should never have access to cameras.

[@bass305-HCCA]

Awesome job gentlemen 👍💯

[@bostoncangrejo]

What's with the spinning background when the filming helicopter remains stationary on the same side of the fixed tower?

[@bradswarren]

The helicopter doing the video is not stationary. It is slowly circling the Skycrane. And with a gyro stabilized zoom lens the video appears to be a spinning background.
