I’d have thought the flex on the crane would make it almost impossible to do an operation like that. He’d need a good man on the radio telling what to do as well.

Looks like everything went up there the same way, slowly slowly I reckon, I wonder if there is a couple of cameras on the boom.

No doubt the operator is up there as well with the remote on his belly.

You'd only have to look at the controls to make that jump a couple of feet! Very skilled indeed.
