A simple remote controlled slow-scan TV camera installed at an equipment pallet, the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly MESA, that was folded down by gravity, when Armstrong pulled a simple lanyard while standing on top of the ladder.

It wasn't on a landing gear leg, but between two legs and closer to Armstrong that way.

Ask yourself this. How many youtube videos are shot remotely? Are they fake? No, someone has worked out how to do it. You can clamp a camera to something and film. Some are built in to compuers or you buy a web cam and plonk it where it is needed.
If teenager can do it then why not some of the engineers working on Apollo work out how to do it remotely?

It was shot using a remote-activated camera on the landing module, as others have stated. However, I didn't know until I also watched this episode of The Whitest Kids U'Know and decided to ask the internet. Hooray for TV that makes you ask questions. lol

The black and white tv pictures of them coming down the ladder were shot by a camere that was fixed to the LEM landing leg before they left earth.

They sent a camera crew up first. They never get the credit they deserve.
OK, it was a camera attached to the outside of the LM ladder, but I like the camera crew story.

armstrong did not land on the moon because i did in 1962 i then claimed it as my planet and i put up signs saying trespassers would be prosecuted in 1969 i then began to collonise it i do not allow any photography on my planet so the pictures you have seen are fakes
