Dropped camera

Post by Gob »

bumped my head on the door frame on exit unclasping the latch on the box. The camera popped out on exit at 12.500 and fell straight down onto the landing area at the DZ and was recovered by a fellow skydiver. It even caught our landings. Not one scratch on the body or lens. Still can't believe that I got it back and that it is totally fine. A buddy the same day who is one of our camera flyers had the same thing happen but with his SLR....not the same result. I'm definitely a gopro fan for life these little guys are bomb proof

This guy really missed a bet posting the footage on YouTube for free rather than selling it to the camera company....

Why don't your cameras survive so well when you drop them?
Bah!

Funny video of how a seagull stole my GoPro, flew over the water in front of Golden Gate Bridge and how the camera incredibly managed to survive, recording everything!
A flying video from a seagull's mouth!
A San Francisco sunset I will hardly forget...

Is there any reason I should watch that entire video? Does the camera just spin around for almost 8 minutes and then hit the ground?

That would be a lot like watching a Leonard Cohen video.

I'd much rather watch the seagull.

I'd rather see LC spinning round, hit the ground, and deposited on by a gull.

(sorry LC fans, posted in jest) 8-)

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
