Three more viewpoints... Video Cam locations

What is it about video cards that they love to fail and make serious noise... One at home and one at work... The one at work sounded like a sad cow for a while... it was very hard to concentrate.. so just when I was going to go in and replace it it shuts up.... sleeping cow.... this afternoon... woah.... who woke the cow? Now the one at home is back to making noise.... not enough yet for me to have to replace it. Yet.

Day before yesterday I was telling you about locations to put your GoPro on a balloon... and how the shorter the arm was the less chance it would droop due to slippage of the clamp on the smooth metal... Well here are a couple of shots from videos showing 1. 2ft arm from the back of the burner frame 2. 2ft from the side of the burner frame and 3. on a 5ft arm clamped out the back of the burner frame..

1. Out the back... see the whole basket plus outside the basket. Close flyby of DebBee.

And a minute or two later...way above...
Nice View Huh...

2. 2ft arm off the side of the burner frame. During Fiesta just launched and spun around...you can see the passengers and 2/3rds of the outside. Its angled a little high though.

Up with the rest of the guys... Hi there!

And a little closer.. this was much closer than it looks....

3. 5ft pole out the back... nice view.. little jiggly and caution on the landing or flinging about... TAB out there. Full basket view and if the angle on the cam was a little lower you could see the bottom of the basket too.
Great View...
Enchanted Diamonds is chasing us.... Over Unser heading up.

Well that was fun... I have also attached cameras to the throat of the balloon.... I will locate some of those and show you too.. its a pretty freaky view though.

here are some links.... amazingly all close to each other... it is a good day for interesting things on the net you didn't know about... woooo

This was when it was fun and not insanely expensive to walk into a theater...


This cracks me up....


And if that didn't crack you up this will crack you up...


And... No kidding... funnier...


Off I go!
