Gorillapod and No Spin Knife Throwing

I just bought a Gorillapod at R.E.I. (http://joby.com/gorillapod) and got the bright idea to make a throwing video using two cameras simultaneously. All the throws are no spin throws, a technique made famous by Ralph Thorn.

I bought 1/2 a yard of 2" high density foam at Joann's Fabrics for $14.50. I then cut that 1/2 yard in half and taped it onto my wood target using gorilla tape.

Sidenote: At the end of the video, I could've sworn I could've caught that ricochet. It looked to be going very slow. I didn't catch it, because my brain said, "Bad, Colette, don't catch ricochets." However, my body forgot to move to compensate!

@ghost3680 Yah, I know-- my job is time consuming and I barely have time for myself to get an decent amount of sleep. I'll have time to edit during my spring break and summer!

Have you tried the Boker Magnum Ziel? It looks pretty good to me.

[Xolette]

@Lavenderblue333 No, but I've tried the Bailey Boker Ziel-- not sure if that's different. I'll look into it.
