Author Topic: Helicopter Imax Install Michael Putlack Expert Film Handler Posts: 187 From: Fort Collins, Colorado Registered: Sep 2011 posted 11-27-2015 08:16 PM                        I was able to get a shot of the new laser IMAX projector getting lifted into the Event Cinemas on Queen St. here in Auckland. I didn't even realize what they were lifting until until a few hours later when I thought to zoom in on the picture. Personally, this is one of the several screens around town I intend on watching Star Wars on, including my cinema in Matakana and the new Reading Cinema in town with Atmos.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 11-27-2015 08:34 PM                     No wonder it's taking them so long to roll out laser!  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 11-30-2015 10:03 AM                     Hopefully that ends better than this or THIS!  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Pilot pickled the load and rode it down. Pilot survived. Sling loads are most hazardous since you're operating well within the height/velocity curve: https://youtu.be/atagWAXMO5k  |  IP: Logged
