Another nifty balloon project…

Published on 2010-10-06 by Mark VandeWettering

Luke Gesissbuhler did a balloon launch, lofting an HD video camera and an Apple iPhone to lofty heights before recovering them. Very nice. The footage right after burst was kind of cool: I was wondering whether the fragments of the balloon or parachute tangled with the camera: perhaps dangling the camera on a longer tether could reduce the possibility of them tangling. Still, it all worked out in the end (and rather brilliantly!).

Inspirational.
