- Pole photography conditions
-
- Of course we will not operate pole photography when
it's raining.
- The other restriction is when wind raises and
becomes too strong. Holding a pole vertically when the wind
blows over 5 m/s is really difficult.
- Preliminary checks
-
- Before to start the assembly of the long pole, prepare
and check all the equipment: cable, camera set on the cradle,
control box, batteries, ....
-
- Pole assembly
-
- For pole assembly it is necessary to find a place where
nobody will walk over it.
- Connect the sections.
-
- Insert the cable, with the pole inclined down so it
is easier to push it through. I usually insert it 3 sections
to the top and other sections to the bottom and then connect
both when the cable has run thoroughly .
-
- Put the control box and the cradle on the pole.
- Connect the cable on the control box and on the cradle.

Stand up the pole
-
|
- The toe of the pole shall be retained
against a stone, a pavement, a tree ...
|
- Walk towards the bottom end and stand
up the pole
|
|
- When the pole is vertical, lift it and
put it in the belt holder.
