Its been a while, so I thought I'd share a video of something I shot today on my GoPro and pieced together quickly to show off. I'm a Combat Photographer in the Marines and today I went with our Special Forces and conducted SPIE rigging with military working dogs. The huge bonus to my job is getting in on the action!
"The Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction (SPIE) system was developed as a means to rapidly insert and/or extract a reconnaissance patrol from an area that does not permit a helicopter to land. SPIE has application for rough terrain as well as water inserts/extracts. "
Basically, I'm just dangling from a long cable strung underneath a helicopter!
The quality is toned down quit a lot just to throw it up online quickly. I'll also throw up some edited photos tomorrow as well. Eventually I'll put a compilation together someday of all the cool stuff I've done.
