Spent $600 on a wireless remote system and it paid for itself in one week

I bought a used Radiocan remote setup off a guy on Craigslist (around $600) because I was tired of climbing up and down for every little adjustment. Last Tuesday, I was setting a steel beam in tight quarters and didn't have to signal my oiler once, just watched from the ground. Anyone else find that spending money on the control side beats spending it on the machine itself?

Yeah my buddy spent twice that on a nicer boom and still bitches about climbing.

Right there with you @leo567, it's wild how gear doesn't always make the experience easier. I've seen guys drop serious cash on setups and still find something to complain about. Guess some climbs just humble everyone no matter what you're packing.
