THIS is the breathtaking moment a famous daredevil takes a selfie from the top of a crane more than 492 metres (1,600 feet) off the ground.
Pavlo Ushivets, 29, known better by his nickname - Mustang Wanted - scaled the unmanned crane in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai.
Ushivets, who works as a roofer in his native Ukraine, made a video of his stunt which quickly went viral on social media.
It shows him free climb to the very top of the crane without ropes or any other protective equipment.
He then stands aloft on top of the building giving himself a round of applause and then spreading his arms in triumph, before taking his selfie.
BREATHTAKING: The video shows him free climb to the very top of the crane without ropes
STUNNING: Pavlo Ushivets targeted the crane as it was the highest in the city
On the way back down, Ushivets leaves photographs of some of his previous stunts in the cab as a memento for the crane driver.
He targeted the crane as it was the highest in the city that was not in operation or protected by security guards.
Ushivets is best known for colouring a star at the top of Moscow's Seven Sisters buildings in Ukrainian national colours last year.
It was a protest at Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine, the previous year.

Netizen GjinoNRG commented: "Thats some next level sh*t! 60 fps (frames per second) makes it more terrifying."
But Shyanne Luna asked: "Do you show your parents these videos? I wonder how do they react?"
And thekindman wanted to know: "What would he do if it started pouring with rain?"
Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and lies on the south-eastern coast of the Persian Gulf.
