Default Brownwood area Tower Crane closeup

Here's a closeup view of the tower crane being used to build the hotel near Brownwood. I was out having a little fun when the construction site was shutdown.

Beautiful video! Funny though, that as time goes by, heights seem to bother me more and more. Had chills the whole time watching that but enjoyed every minute

While watching this video think about picking up several hundreds of pounds of material, swinging through the air and landing it where it is supposed to go!!!

A great perspective that the guy who sits up there all day doing just that!

Very nice, but my acrophobia kicked in.

I worked commercial construction for 20 years and the same question had crossed my mind many times. And what happens when you get to the top and realized, I forgot my keys or I forgot my lunch, that would really start the day poorly.

Tower Crane
Totally " Outstanding " I have spent some time watching that very crane from a distance and honestly in awe.

What you did with your drone is nothing short of " Amazing ".

I want to congratulate you and for the other drone videos that you have done and continue to do.

It is extremely thoughtful of you to take the time to do this

Thank You so much.

Mr. Kubrick eat your heart out! Well done.
The crane company should purchase that video, and get you to finish the film with the crane working.

I actually started with the opening spaceship music from Spaceballs by Mel Brooks, but So Spake Zarathustra worked better as it was more dramatic and better fit this crane. The crane very clean and looks freshly painted making it very striking to film.
