Balloon burst

Posted by Lester Haines on May 23, 2014 at 8:35am

3689595713?profile=originalWe recently tested a couple of Replay XD cameras on a Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) flight. Pretty good kit, and in the process they captured some spectacular footage of the balloon burst at around 30,000m.

The video's right here. Enjoy.

    We think it's probably talcum powder, or something similar.

    Wow look at the sphere of air left behind! Or is it powder? Did you fpv down? :)

    Gopro hero 3 black can be configured to deliver 848x480 at 240fps. That would be worth the effort and easy to carry.

    Yeah, if ever there were a need for a high-speed camera, this was it. 240fps? I want to see this at 1000fps.

    The next great achievement will be setting a camera to 240fps.
