... with this homemade device, but be forewarned, it looks like a heck of a project. Kinda neat, nonetheless.

Impressive piece of equipment, but I bet his sense of achievement doesn't come close to someone who manages to bag an in-flight shot manually.

Insane piece of equipment - I wonder how many hours he spent building and testing that rig!

I think that practise might have got the shot quicker and cheaper!
