I can’t believe that thing survived! And I was worried about smashing it up on a sprint car…

…Sure is a shame about the rolling shutter at the end.

There is liability no matter what. My dad is in aviation and I’ll ask him about the weather balloon thing. I watched the vid again and thought those were shots of the parachute.

At my wedding last weekend, we had a few balloons get away at the hangar where were were having a party. I mentioned this to my pilot cousin and he laughed saying balloons wouldn’t hurt the planes. However, wouldn’t a weather balloon be a little more substantial?

And has anyone wiki’ed them balloons? Do they still use them for weather studies?

It is a totally cool thing. Off topic, anyone using one of these cameras on their DSLR rig? Seems like they are small enough to just stick on the rig as a backup. I’ve done this with my Kodak zi8 but the GoPro is much smaller.

And my girl is just buzzing about this Swiss win! If I mention the World Cup will it crash Bloom’s blog?

What a miraculous little camera. I have two now, using them on the
gulf coast documentary. Clamped and cupped onto everything imaginable, underwater, in blowing sand, no problem, they never fail. You turned me on to them in your first mention on your blog. I owe you, again. Thanks.
Cheers.

Gotta love the lens flares.

If anyone needs help with GOpro cameras (i don’t sell them) i run a Gopro user forum at http://goprouser.freeforums.org Huge amount of info on mounts/modifications/tips etc.

Very nice – remember seeing the stills one a while back – but this is great – cant wait till we make further advances in space…

Dave S – whoops – sorry, I forgot! But imagine if we could raise the funds for a ‘Philip’ size balloon (plus maybe an atmosphere suit – we would want him to survive up there!) then PB can promote upper atmosphere HDSLR We could even try and ban him using timelapses on his epic journey into the unknown

Agree on PB’s share – always my first place to check for cool stuff and relevant news.
