I wish there were plans posted for whatever he used as a harness for the phone. It seems to be attached using fishing line. I might try this hoping to get it ready for the next snowfall, which should be by the end of the month.
I think it is a lot fancier than just spinning it on a fishing line. There were at least two lines involved. But a very cool effect.
I saw it get old before the video was half over. At real time speed I think it will make some people dizzy.
Phone or camera, when the inevitable face plant happens, the recording device takes one too. I try to be kinder to my equipment. It's too expensive to just be flinging it around like that.

What people won't do to get around the drone prohibition.
Strings getting tangled in lift chairs, cables, etc..
