The 1st GoPro in Near Space (80,000ft)!
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
A group of engineers/designers from San Francisco made the balloon launch on 6/5/2010. Shot with 2 HD Hero cameras from GoPro. Launched from the California coast near Davenport, landed in Crows Landing 70 miles away. Peak altitude 80,000 feet. Acquired GPS, pressure, accelerometer, and temperature data with a Shadowbox (shadowboxlive.com). A big thank you to Kevin Macko for the great footage!

Are these guys charged with involuntary manslaughter if this camera were to land on someone and kill them? Serious question.

Nice fish eye lense used, good try on making our plane look like a globe
-
don't use a fish eye. it's hard to tell curvature since is biased towards that.
-
Thats soo cool!!!
-
how long did it take to find that thing
-
Damm, that camera could have hit that house
-
loo look at the road also appears to have curvature as the GoPro ascends proving fish eye effect
-

I know I'm not the only one who sat through this video waiting for the ballon to pop and drop the GoPro back down.
-
how you do that
-
all this cameras have Fisheye like this one?
-
I bet a 6-inch telescope can't see further than 250 miles in the daytime from the top of the highest mountains and if it can take a picture of a car, Observatory the smallest object you can make out yes a camera can be attached to the eyepiece a special one.
-
how many people think they're seeing the whole Earth?
-
I only see a 250 mile range and the cameras doing exactly what I expected them to bow Horizon in a round circle
-
the GoPro is worthless but to prove the sun was right above the Earth
