I want to take a shot at it
Down it is definitely doable... we proved that. going up is what might require some winching... you know, so you don't die. they don't call it the widow maker for nothing!
that one can am we saw with the wheel turned 90degrees, busted axle, broke tie rod, he only made it about 200yds up it before all that happened, and that's the "easy part". it's pretty impressive.

I thought you flew it right over me? I want one of them. They're really fun. Practice flying so you can take it on the trails at the takeover.

Honestly I think it's very doable without using a winch. Might tie mine off by a rope for safety but that's it. I've got 1/2" thick rope that's 120' long we can take.

I don't think "very doable" is the way "normal" people would describe it...lol and it sounds like we both agree, if you screw up in that one spot up near the top... bye bye

North Cumberland trail system I found it.. If you click on this and then untitled layers scroll down to the trails numbers and it's all listed and you can click on the widow maker and it shows you where it is on map and dragons back and sand mine is all on there.

Nice find! I may edit those trail names in my GPS as they are just given cryptic numbers based on what they are close to such as TC 1.1 etc.

It's a DJI Phantom 3 standard. They can be bought new for $499. This one came as a gift from a salesman to my father. I know there are new ones that do great things but nothing beats free!

I took this pic yesterday.

Thank you @CumminsPusher if you've never looked at CZ take a look they're some awesome guns. I'm getting a CZ 557 in .308 next and probably the P07 handgun. It's a polymer fame and lighter. My SP-01 is all steel it's more of a competition gun extremely accurate.

I have a CZ 75D and a 75D Compact. They are stone reliable, very accurate, and all steel. Looking for a Rami 2070 right now and they are rare as hens teeth.

We've still got more to learn on how to film and edit these 360 videos. I do like it though, it's cool that I can edit and upload from my IPhone. Let's see how this looks.....

@joeymt33. First time the cameraman had used one of those. Lol.
I think it may have turned out better pointing at the indented object vs up or down.

By no means was I blaming anything on you. It was a learning experience. You are correct that we should point it at the target that is being filmed. Also, I'd like to make a pole mount vs holding it on a stick that bounces around. We will have this figured out by the "take over".
