never do this

I already thought about this. Build A seat that would clamp to the end of the hose an take myself up for A ride !!!!! I would be in control an get some nice pics..

Right above rebar.  Looks fun

Well that gives a whole new meaning to the term hose hugger!!

Willie60, Really.....?? try a gopro it is a lot safer.

how far is the boom of the powerlines !!!

I've done similar to the top pics, lesser of two evils because of jobsite conditions, they stand below where they neede to be and "going up". My old man tried the bottom pic, thought he could get as good and free pics than the helicopter guys that come around and sell them.

Speechless....

I have seen a man basket that connected to the tip swivel 90 that swiveled to stay straight we used for tree work after hurricanes, also aerial photography, saw the owner take a 32m with the basket boom straight up with him in it , and have another guy drive him around his property with outriggers out and let down a few inches off the ground so he could take pictures of his place , unbelievable,

Just a few feet lower and acpa can replace that ZAPPED guy on the train.
