Bear-4 HD Camera Flight

[sk8mastayea]

HOWD U FIND IT?!

[gentle285]

@sk8mastayea I guess it had a GPS unit.

[ChineseCommando]

That's freaking awesome.

[nosupa]

What if they forgot to press RECORD? lol

[jordan19920]

*drops camera *  FUCK! XD

[nacho395]

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo........ the best video..... nice!

[MyHurtlocker]

It's amazing ,but it might kill some one if it fall on somebodies head .I thought there was a parachute.

[GuitarHeroJCJ]

@MyHurtlocker It was on a parachute?

[simoesc]

amazing!

[laraguarnieri]

INCRÍVEL!

[TheToastPeople]

spaccceeee spacccceee!

[AlissonLifeSafe]

no

[fearcewish12321]

how did u find it???

[laraguarnieri]

@fearcewish12321 GPS

[TheGreeneyedchick]

this is amazing!

[daviddsiuser]

how did you get it back?

[jenny12233]

mmmm i wonder if it landed in like a different state or something lol

[sonmar10]

Great work guys. I've just watched the coverage of Daily Planets. It is innovative to archive that with low budget using basic tools.

[wawdeno]

how did you track it?

[Mathiasbk93]

how did you get the tape? did you stream it to a recording device on the ground?

[fb767]

Did you guys find the camera?

[Hennikennis]

@fb767 and how do you think... They got the video, therefore I guess they found their camera

[Mytabor4ik]

NICENICNEICE! !!!!

[sk8after8]

31 people got air sickness of watching this

[sk8after8]

It would be so cool, if you passed the camera in high altitude while sitting in an airplane :D

[kingtubenino]

so this is what it feels like to be a bird.

[srvfan42]

That's amazing!! But how did you figure out exactly when and where the camera was coming down?

[happyskinhead]

@srvfan42 Watch the Discovery Channel Segmant. It describes everything they did.

[bentlyfilippazzo]

wow thats amazing! how far did the balloon travel?

[whynotgd]

im gonna trow up...serious

[Larrivey9]

It's amazing to know how the space "sounds"

[Tehmalvs]

This is cool.

[Jonasmejdal]

Awesome. :D

[likewendt]

hvor er det sindsygt

[roborovskihamsters]

Some group of students did this for under $150.

[Augmen1]

@roborovskihamsters

the camera itself costs like $700?

vixia hf20 is expensive, do you mean just the housing?

[legend101zelda]

grr. I want to replicate this.

[rillar100]

great achievement chaps , true amature gentlement of science ! i saw a similar UK amateur experiment a couple of years ago involving a hydrogen baloon and a mobile phone camera with GPS . dont think they achieved the altitude you did though Fantastic !

[Doabarrelroll]

When i see that this video only has 300,000 viewers and Ray William Johnson has over 2 million per vid I can't help but to lower my head and sigh towards the human race.

[Somerandomguy128]

@Doabarrelroll wow you're so edgy and cool

[learber]

@Doabarrelroll its because not everyone is intersted in stuff like this , escpecially girls, i mean this is cool but not to watch hundreds videos of it unlike rwj

[jhonnggo]

Wow !!

[LisaLarssonMusic]

That is soo cool

[iamevildoing]

Was there a parachute on it? It looks like its not falling that fast. Lol this might seem kinda stupid

[iDenmark]

@Hitmannewb Oh really? You can just ignore it you fucking idiot.

[iDenmark]

Did you locate the cam again?

[Hitmannewb]

@iDenmark

You're stupid or something? How'd they get the footage out of the camera without locating it? It says at the end: "in a few seconds you can see us on the ground", they had been tracking the package so they knew where it is going to land.

[iDenmark]

@Hitmannewb What i meant, what how they located the cam again. Relax you fucking moron and keep your bullshit for yourself, you probably don't have any friends, when you are offending people for saying something wrong.

[DevilHuntar]

Im going in guys! I think that is what the camera thinks when the balloon pops!

[coinho]

Eu não sei ai como se chama essa presepada, mas, aqui na minha terra, isso se chama VIADAGEM!

[InfraredUFO]

TRY THIS WITH INFRARED.. you will be amazed

[deenualhaq]

and how did you find the camera back?

[deenualhaq]

what state is this?

[jogidoener]

Absolutely GREAT!!! Now ur cam can say: "I was sent to the edge of space, n searched 4 a better place" thats awesome! Nice idea and good work. BIGUPS!!!!!

[RoelKroes]

Great video, excellent quality and a nice story behind it. Well done indeed.

[mrzkx]

i spend 4-5 hours of a day on youtube but this is the best video I've ever seen...thx

[BoundaryShift]

That radio/TV tower you see every once in a while is must be a 1,000 feet tall.

[TERYDOTCOM]

find any 777's? FAA positive controlled airspace violation? FAA regulations? how was it tracked?  great film!

[IronPump89]

thats so awesome

[JamesBSOE89]

Very cool!

[V0ree]

Woww! This is FANTASTIC !!! :o

[crimson177]

how did it survive impact

[CaptainFaisal]

well done!

[grumm70]

Anyway to rig up a rocket to push it up further just after the baloon pops ?

Its all about the weight so probly not,

[MrSimulatorPilot]

did you have to get clearance to fly that so it didn't hit any planes.

[Loncaros]

@MrSimulatorPilot

fairly sure a plane wouldn't care if it hit a box weighting half a pound.

[bradnz90]

@Loncaros Oh course a pilot would care lol, 0.5 lbs times the speed of an average airline 600kmh, thats a bit of momentum going into the side of a wing ,

Look on google images for bird strikes its amazing

[stoomheier]

Very nice, thanks for posting

[benpatient]

I really appreciate what you're trying to do, and when the camera isn't spinning madly it is beautiful, but watching this full screen has made me almost barf.

[RosarioTono]

its breathtaking.

dis deserve 5 stars. awesome job!

[Nailon]

how did you know where it will fall?

[RajmanGamingHD]

They most likely added a GPS tracking device to it

[kaidose]

the gov. would have seen it and said

HOLY SHIZ

[MXedos]

I'm so sorry for bursting your bubb.. ballon! It was in my path and I couldn't avoid it ! :(

Thanks for the video ! ^_^

[andreloja]

I guess if you'd put in some kind of counter weight attached to the lens part, it would have captured a (kind of) steady image on the way down!

[heliscat]

you must have fired the guy responsible for keeping the camera pointed in one direction/yaw control. this video made me want to vomit!

[heliscat]

you oughta call it "GET DIZZY IN HD!"

[LKN1TRO]

How long does it take to upload the video on youtube???????????

[lordwinters]

i gonna sick......

[eRaness]

that is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! GRATE JOB GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved watching this. truly fantastic. amazing what a balloom, camera, gps. ect can do. Thanks for sharing this amazing event with us. it so made my night. hehe keep it up guys! *"Now where is MY camera?" lol jk hehee

[Rejexted]

It's amazing how you can see the curvature of the Earth from such a low alititude

[SpartanW98]

@Rejexted i hope you are kidding (:

[rarincas]

cool :)

[pppllluuummm]

wow.... ナイス！ this is way better than i can ever dream of doing, even though i have had plans for something similar for quite awhile

[suicidecrew]

WOW! How did you find the Cam ? Using GPS?

I mean In wrost case it could get 1000 Miles off the place you started...

[randyl74]

Totally cool. Would have been nice to have an altimeter in view of the lens so you could see how high at any given time.

[ocdpfsas]

Way to make me dizzy as fuck

[0rip0]

Without a doubt the most amazing video I've ever seen!

Makes my "camera on a kite" experiment seem totally lame.

[KrumpingKatie]

This is kinda THE BEST THING EVER

[awhoergek]

commercial purpose

[ReikiLightBringer]

Awesome but I'm wondering if you were ever afraid of it hitting someone on the head coming down? Seriously!!

[YOUPUBEISGAY]

anyone else getting dizzy watching it ^^

[teogt23]

NICE!

[dtunzzlistener]

Is there a chute slowing the decent or is that just the drag from the ripped balloon that seemed to slow the fall? Seemed to not be falling very fast at the end.

[Clevo89]

Well done! what model camera was it? and did you modify it in any way?

[GroupDenmark]

Great work & video....

[bigwedgey]

Did the pilot survive?

[kaixiii]

It's just a camera, no pilot

[DrPepper1885Phd]

start watching at 2:00

[pedrito94gomez]

Amazing! One of the best videos ever!

[brunzmeflugen]

im suprised no one said "FAKE!" awesome video.

[kamaujackson811]

FAKE!!!

Any experienced balloon flyer can tell that the altitude is closer to 107, 150 feet.

[Augmen1]

so awesome

[rosst210131]

what went up, like helicopter rc plane anythin, what is it?

sexy video btw!

HD MADE IT LOOK LIKE I WAS IN SPACE !

[soberauer]

wow!

[phcphcphc]

Use IS next time please

[Rassamdul]

thats just awesome!!!

[Anna0121004]

huh what layer of atmosphere is this? troposphere? stratosphere? mesosphere?

I can't be thermosphere since it is very hot layer and could've damaged the camera completely. .....

BUT OMG this is amazing video!

[RAJADURADPLACARD]

amazing i like it 5 *

[carluspocus]

ahhhhh man,i wish i was in!

[da10vid]

it's aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! where the hell is this??? there's no information about that!!!!!

[retardedman]

People are so fucking retarded on the internet.

[coolsciencetech]

a......parachute.......?

[azim6709]

P A R A C H U T E you dumb ass

[sourcegamerC]

The exact time the camera hit the ground my phone went off.

[zark22]

watch out for that ..... treeeeeeeeeee

[timmie124]

it looked like the camera didn't break, does it still work?

[waylay00]

How did you know where it would land?

[Malayslya]

I suppose they track it somehow.

[sypha0x]

GPS on board

[sypha0x]

GPS on board

[TheMasterMod]

they have a computer tracking it

[dtobin123]

Cool video!

Thank god Canadians know what they're doing with balloons and don't let hyperactive kids near them.

[robm18]

If you pause at 2:17 my house is dead center of the picture.

[GarrettSloan75]

Nice catch! unfortunately the bomb drop didn't go as planned and we missed your house...

The next flight will "fly" its way back home, targetting should be much better.... ;)

[djderk]

that was cool man. do it again. but let the camera just fall!

[jayeshchoudhari]

Amazing

[PelotonPix]

Launched from a hockey rink ... where else? LOL

[TheSuperProfessional]

At 9:50 did it automatically zoom ? LOL

[nozzzzy]

Wanna know something really awesome? The song "Pers Patrys" by Kettel just so happens to fit PERFECTLY with the decent (starting at 6:20) if you start that song and the video at 6:20 at the same time you are in for a treat. =]

[IceCreamAllTheTime]

but this could get in the way of a plane

[TheLancer1993]

Thats very unlikey. Try your best to launch it in an area with low air traffic.

[ductapengineering]

amazing. you guys did a really good job.

[paaachok89]

awesome

[Drfreedom73]

awesome job.. cant wait to see the next experiment!!

[MikeBellika]

Hmm. If it really was in space you would not be able to hear when the ballon blows up cuz there is no air in space and sound need air before you can hear it!

[MsGreenful]

It wasn't in space, it was in the stratosphere. There are still some molecules of air and gases.

[LenWhistler]

You don't hear the balloon pop. All you hear is noise being transferred to the camera from the building materials, such as the styrofoam and balloon tether.

Plus it wouldn't be a complete vacuum at 107,000 feet, otherwise the balloon wouldn't have reached that height.

[CGallProductions]

There is still atmosphere at that altitude, it is just extremely thin, I would say that is why the balloon popped.

[hartage]

very cool....

[voltcorp]

Really awesome. I would just like to suggest that instead of the 2 massive "skips", you should do a more careful editing, 'cause I really missed not seing the cross between the atmosphere layers... cuting out all the chatter in the start; showing a little bit of each stage of flight instead of just the start, just the middle and just the end; and finally, lose the cheesy transitions and the huge subtitles. Do that and you'll have pro material suitable for profitable presentation.

[jsTubeX]

Amazing video! i want more!

@voltcorp Agreed. Next time, i'd appreciate a fast scrub through the boring parts, and not a rough cut.

[daystar]

Very interesting video! what a great adventure really :-)

[MattyS50]

Great, Amazing, Unbelievable job

[gandalf666999]

Bravo!!!

[BDboys808]

pause at 4:02 my house is the white one

[electronicchronic]

think how good government camera must be

[TheDane2006]

and one asked about Meters and Kiloometers : 1000 meters is 1 Kilo-meters

[TheDane2006]

- well bottom fact is i think yer experiment is rather quiet interesting indeed, and i admire pepole theres brave enough to play with such things and get a rare and unique experience out of it - and please dont hesitate to publish more its wery interesting and i seriously cnsider t get yer DVD some time.

[psydanielsan]

oh wait....

sorry

you must be a moron

[thiagotorresjp]

LoL

[TheDane2006]

- Just an other thing, it was indeed a wery exiting proogram on Discovery yer linked to, is it shown on Discovery Europe too? - because i rather like to know when that Danish engineer launches his rocket?

[TheDane2006]

OMG! - so its only 3 KMs from broadcasting satelittes!!

I would be wery exited if i could see when its leaving the earths atmosphere, is it possible for ye to upload that part?

[AngeloProduction]

omg

[therealorberon]

is there a documentary for this? like how they prepare it all and stuff.

[GarrettSloan75]

There is a link in the video info to the Discovery Channel coverage of our launch, there is also a link to the project site with more information on the construction, as well as info on many of our other flights.

[therealorberon]

ah thanks, Really great job btw.

kinda better than watching star wars

[snaileri]

Really nice experiment!

5/5

[TheDane2006]

- Or have it been actually 33,21 KM up into the sky? - if the last option is real i think its a totally awesome achievement.

[dendritibus]

It's 33,21 kilometers.

[TheDane2006]

- i have 1 question though, was the altitude 107,145 feet = 3,33 Meters or was it 107145 feet = 3321,495 Meters = 3,3 Km up into the air?

[GarrettSloan75]

107145 feet, 32657.8 meters, 20.3 Miles, 32.7 Kilometers straight up...

[ABC10090]

is 33214,95 meters = 33 km

[LenWhistler]

Yes. But some of the posted examples are confusing because of misused punctuation.

33,214.95 meters = 33.21495 Km

[TheDane2006]

- Magnificent video, and real cool yer manage to take pictures from outer space!! - but i missed some pictures from entering space and reenter earths atmosphere again that could have been totally awesome to watch.

[McFrolics]

too bad bear didn't catch no aliens...

[200odd300]

WOAH! Did it just went to space?

[princessaseel]

Wow this is amazing! I'm guessing they had something tied to the bear cause that's impossible for it to take off in one place and land in the same area!! Great job guys!

[GarrettSloan75]

.........that would have to be a reallllllly long something... Its very improbable to launch and land in the same place (never happened to us) but it does happen with the right wind conditions aloft. No strings, no "something" tied to the balloon, it travelled up to ~107000feet, burst, and came down again ~90miles from where we launched. Check the Video Info section for a link to our project page with a google earth KML file of the launch, it shows the track of the whole flight.

[orangewitch7]

Oh gosh, it really cool, but a little bit dizzying...

But how are they suppose to return this camera back?

[Fuzkerendude]

they had a motorola mobile phone with it, so they could use the GPS thing to locate it again, have i heard :)

[GarrettSloan75]

Check the video info for the link to our project site. This was NOT the MIT launch with a mobile phone, this package was tracked with APRS Amateur radio gear and multiple tracking vehicles. if you watch near the landing, there is a point where the camera swings around and catches a glimps of us as we stopped to watch it land. It travelled ~90 miles from the launch location.

[catquin18]

wow!

[Meey2412]

Anywone who know this: did they find the Camera again? or is it still in the trees??

[freefrederikfree]

howe did they get the tape ?...

Since you watched the video, they must have found the camera!
