This video was created by our good friends Ed Oates and Marcus Lewer who approached us looking for cameras for their high altitude balloon experiment.
The HDMax camera was used on a long arm mount facing back at the main control box. The balloon rises to 110,000ft and captures an amazing sunrise over planet earth. Some of the most incredible pictures we have seen from our cameras.

Yeah. But even if you said there was NO air resistance at that altitude, you wouldn't accelerate quite to the point that the video suggests. Joseph Kittinger only managed to get up to 614 MPH jumping from 103k feet, which is still very short of the speed of sound at high altitudes, and a good 150-ish MPH slower than at sea level. Perhaps the author and I have a different opinion on what "close" to the speed of sound is. Better not to generalize.

Nope he's not joking, theres little air resistance. Would of slowed down when reaching the lower atmosphere though.

I really doubt that your rig was falling at close to 750 MPH. I hope you were joking when you put that in the video.

8:20) not enough air to pull the drone/chute vertical surprisingly the camera didn't rip off!!! great strength on that rig!!!

SORRY, MY BAD! thats local time, not flight time!!

4:14) 7+ hrs and it's only at 23,000 ft!! that's still way below airtraffic altitude!!

i feel bad for the poor dog the camera is tied to!!! i wonder if it froze to death or suffocated to death!! personally i don't see the point of sending a dog up their with the camera!!
