Video camera falls from plane. Records all the way down. Lands in pig pen.

The pig just sidling up to the camera made me laugh more than I would have guessed.

Anyone else think of Hannibal?

GoPro’s are known for having a wide field of view & distortion. I use mine in a balloon & it’s amazing the curvature of the earth from the video that I don’t see in real life. Here’s an example from their website of a cheetah closeup.

I sure as hell hope I never see a pig from that angle in real life.

It’s actually changeable. You can change the field of view in the settings.

I’d like to see the great Leslie try that

That addresses my fisheye concern. I had imagined a camera with a fisheye attachment.

If it is a marketing gimmick for GoPro, I hope it works. I have stock in the company, not a lot because I am brokeish, but it has been killing lately. :slight_smile:

The video was posted in February, so if it was a marketing gimmick it has already done most of its work by now I’d imagine.

I was poking around & they actually address the fisheye issue on their website.

I see what you did there.
