Well, that's something I could never do.
I have to comfort myself with the fact that I can probably do some things that Kevin Schmidt there on the tower can't do, like change a poopy diaper with one hand and while eating a cheese sandwich with the other ... ?

I've seen this vid before and read the comments on youtube. I didn't think it was real at first but an animation. Couple of reasons.
The orange sections on the tower have faded significantly but the white sections look freshly painted. No chipping, peeling, staining, etc.
The drone flies almost perfectly straight up the height of the tower with very little yaw or left / right drift. Remarkable image stabilization.
Overall, the colors look like a rendered animation and not real. More like Tom Hanks Polar Express motion capture than natural daylight and movement. But then again, it seems to be a legit company so I'm nit picking.
Our tower is 1000' so crews must climb it's full height. Once the first man is up, he rigs a bosun's chair and they use a winch and cable for others to ride up or down.
Not for me, I stay on the ground.

6 bay, batwing antenna. I have been up that tower but not on the antenna. Was in my younger, dumber days! :D

Can you imagine getting up there and realizing this- "Damn I forgot the 9/16"?

Awesome photo's. I don't know about 1500 ft. but I'm ok with 150. Here's some shots of a 150 ft. tall pine tree I removed for my neighbor last fall. It had been hit by lightning and the trunk was compromised, was in between four houses and a power line so we had to rope it all down. Fifty four and still love climbing. Some awesome views up there for sure.

Nice work, Lucian. Here are a couple shots I took from the 150' tower at the local water plant. I wouldn't mind going higher, as long as I can have safety lines with snap hooks like the guy in the video was using, and like I use. The guys that free climb towers are another thing altogether.
