The balloon is 6' by 15' and suspends my Nikon digital camera. The balloon is made of 18 each .5 Mil 30 gal leaf bags, cut into restangles and melted together with a lunch bag sealer.

  • How much does the camera weigh?

  • Good question. I don't have the camera any more. It was around 6 ounces - a typical digital camera weight. Out of a sheet of styrofoam (home insulation), I ade a box so the camera would have protection in a crash. It was hung from the balloon by 4 threads, to keep it from spinning. The balloon might be able to lift as much as a pound. I haven't measured it's max weight. It's hard enough being free on a wind-less sunny day. That's why we moved on to the hovercraft project.
