We just got our hands on the new Sony
Alpha 7S III camera.
Sony asked us to push it to its limits, so we got kind of a crazy idea. something we've always wanted to do and
have never been able to, but yeah,
we're gonna give it a shot.
Trying to shoot our friend, Andy Lewis, highlining between two spiky desert towers.
On top of that, he's doing it without a rope,
fully free solo.
Oh yeah, here we are on top of the bust of cap-gap,
getting some sunset action baby with the full moon.
With the full moon, fully encompassing his body.
And it turns out, it's a really complicated thing that
we've been working on for months
to get this really once in a lifetime
low percentage image.
I just hope we didn't bite off more than
we can chew.
Right from the beginning, things were going wrong.
First attempt, total failure. You can see the moon up there that we missed.
As the next full moon approached, everything we had done, we had to throw out the window
because every full moon cycle the alignment changes.
Racing the light here, total failure.
That was it, we missed it. So we had to 
wait yet another month.
Just starting to see her.
Just how bright the moon is compared to the landscape, you really have to have a camera that has the highest dynamic range of anything I'd ever seen.
Can you see the planets on the -  you can see them? Just like, while you're rolling? - Yep. - Oh my god, it's amazing!
Wow.
So here we are in July, and we've got the new
Sony a7S III with its updated low-light capabilities,
10-bit color and everything else.
For years, our greatest limit has always been not having the technology that we can film in these really low light conditions.
The a7S III on the drone, for the first time at 16,000 ISO with a 24 millimeter lens wide open.
Blown away that it was even possible to fly a drone in the middle of the night and see anything
without any supplemental lighting.
Make sure everything looks good at
1,600 - or 16,000 ISO, it's still weird saying that.
Things are looking cloudy, it could be really cool, we could get shut down, but we're gonna try no matter what.
Not light!
Dialing it in and the moon should set in
about five minutes.
The one thing about this particular shot
is that small window of opportunity that
you have to pull it off and on this project, 
I don't think the margin could be smaller.
Twice a day, we get about a one minute opportunity to try to capture everything in alignment: the moon, the towers, Andy on the highline.
The line is up, you can see the line!
Check that out.
It's going to be epic. - Yup!
Right at the key moment and giant bank of clouds comes in and shuts us down. Everything ruined.
[Through Radio Device] 
So sorry, Andy, you must be exhausted.
It is three o'clock in the morning, we've got one more chance, so getting down to the wire here.
Let me go right. - You're right.
Keep going!
The plan was for Taylor to get a closer shot which she had carefully calculated,
and for Kyle and myself to go another two miles into the distance.
Now we're utterly screwed if we have to sprint right because we're there's a
giant cliff ravine okay let's pick up
and run back
and after four months of trying this
it's all falling apart
as we follow this we're getting pushed
out of the way i know
we need to make it up again i'm just
trying to get to that far ridge
it's a close-off list right there
this is not good
everything's falling apart
i don't know we're gonna miss it for
sure let's
screw this little thing up
oh my god amazing
after months months of effort
by far the most beautiful video shot
we've got of it yet like it's pretty
much magic
that's looking amazing oh my god
wow look at this 120 frames per second
at 4k
in the dark f45
iso 16 000. oh my god he actually did it
no safety leash he's fully free solo
right now
like the timing of it was absolutely
magical and it looked
stunning
always walking on the crater of the moon
no rope in the dark
unbelievable some of the best shots of
our lives right here guys
really really impressive feat of art and
climbing
all the technology amazing man thank you
so much
oh he's crying
