[cj91eb]

how do you recover your camera and gear?

[citizenstand]

@cj91eb by bike



[ThunderHawk606]

jeez, you've been watching some funny birds. since when do birds spin round when they're flying?

jokes, this is quite cool



[TheBalloonProject]

@ThunderHawk606 hawks do spiral when they fly. but maybe i'll rig some sort of sail on it next time. good point.

[ThunderHawk606]

@TheBalloonProject well i was joking but if it leads to a massive brainwave then ok.

[Tmdkiller]

How do you get it back?

[ykass]

this project is amazing !!

truely inspiring - my childhood fantasy.

I'm going to direct a video clip and want to use this kind of technique,

can you give me some info on what camera you used ?

:-))))

[AESpecc]

That Balloon Cam was pretty good. Slow Spin, Good Quality. Like it how it ascends into the air slowly.

[SuperComputerGuide]

[SolMerkA1337]

i started feeling dizzy at 1:00 Lool

[Brinah]

that is absolutely amazing! Great work!

[TheBalloonProject]

Thank You!!!

[Sequan09]

have you ever lost a camera doing something like this??

or not even getting it to come down?

[TheBalloonProject]

many times. in paris they traveled 100km and some lady saw them land in her farm. lucky us she sent them to us by mail :)

[JonSuperWii]

i cant wait until i do this this weekend. is this 1080p or 720p?

[TheBalloonProject]

this weekend!? good luck! let us know what happens :)

[JonSuperWii]

i will post it as a reply to this video. anything i need to know before i do this like the kind of string to tie it all together with or what not to use?

[TheBalloonProject]

balloon string will work just fine. and duct tape. the hard part is getting the camera to look directly down. if you don't do this then the video will be hard to watch. also make sure to poke holes in enough balloons so they come down :)

[TheBalloonProject]

Any luck?

[JonSuperWii]

it was defiantly not as high as yours. I used plain latex balloons but i haven't tried with Mylar balloons yet. so i will post mine after i do that. with any luck, i would love to do it on Halloween night.

[TheBalloonProject]

Halloween would be cool! over a crowd!

[TheBalloonProject]

let us know when it's up!

[letsjustsmile]

Yeah! How did ya do it? :-)!

[TheBalloonProject]

lots of practice :)

[ZeCoconutBrains]

Great footage. HD to me actually seems better than real life! How did you get your balloon back afterwards to get the footage from the camera?

[TheBalloonProject]

we chased it on bikes

[ZeCoconutBrains]

Oh! And then did you like, shoot the balloons and catch the camera?

[deansmithisgreat]

i have some motion sick friends I need to show this too!

[TheBalloonProject]

please do!

[swampzoid]

love that huge palm tree in fame 450 and its shadow.

i just love everything about y'all's videos there actually.

[TheBalloonProject]

[owlphanumeric]

[citizenstand]

[alonememe]

I thought it will stuck on the roof;) And then I realized that you sometimes need to ask people to give you back your camera from their backyards;)

It's always pleasure for me to watch your another video:) Thank you:)

[elibaba7]

[omnidoug]

[xXGatlinKillerXx]

[MogglasTV]

ps. come to stockholm!

[MrHollick]
