This is an Amazing video, but it is NOT the ones who do it legal you say David had clearance I don't know if he did or not But knowing him through his videos I'm sure he did the correct thing -Its the ones who don't care and try and copy things like this WITHOUT proper permission or experience in R/C that has caused all the trouble. It wont be long that most if not all FPV will be illegal or so restricted & fees attached for permits that no one will be able to enjoy it anymore. Once again the few stupid ones have messed up yet another wonderful thing for the rest of us I also seen a video were a 20 yr old male invaded the privacy of a yard two house down from his own (she was sun bathing) and the girl called the cops on him. This one was told to me by the officer who took the call where I live-3 young kids put a laser pointer on there quads and flying around at night shining it into windows of people homes! WTF!!! Its stupid crap like that that piss's me off bad!! & I know the people who make the laws are going to screw that up too. Sad to say but I think our days of FPV fun are numbered- AND Just to be CLEAR I'm NOT saying or calling anyone in this video or who posted comments here are the guilty or the stupid!

***** Actually you do, but it's small compared with the fish eye effect. If you know what to look for, pause the video at the correct point and you will see the curvature. Hint the fish eye effect is more close to the edges of the lense, so you will have a point where the fish eye effect is minimal, and where the effect should be showing a slight curvature in opposite direction, but it doesn't. And at that point you see the earth's curvature, though not perfectly.

Why I applaud your effort and this is very amazing, I can't help but wonder, as a commercial pilot. Do you need to get permission to 'launch' a weather balloon? If everyone starts doing this on random places (cause this is cool and it's getting more common) with airways pretty much over any house, could get dangerous :P Not that a balloon with a few grams of metal would bring down a full sized jet, there is still a threat. If by chance the balloon is sucked in an engine, or covers an essential piece of equipment like angle of attack sensor, pitot tube, RAM air inlet holes, things could turn ugly.

Its like those marketing stickers they place on public transport - if they simply call the number they find the end point. For the fpv flier its hard for them to spot the perpetrator in the same way... I mean you can be on your mobile phone piloting the bloody thing !!! so they would need to simply look at this video and talk to YT...Just before anyone gets any funny ideas you would stick out like a sore thumb having your Tx signal if they needed to up the ante..if we all fly responsibly that wont be needed its the other idiots I fear for. Watch this space we are all getting banned soon.

My two favorite parts: When the burst balloon fragments hang down around the camera like they are just hanging still in the sun. How unspectacular the landing. One eight millimeter branch bitch slaps it out of the stratosphere! I was so impressed by your project. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Great job David, I watched you all the time on Flite Test, we miss you there bud. You missed Flite Test 2014 , HUGE turn out at the field man. See you in the air David. ( And yes, You got me interested in RC Quad Copters) I fly daily now and it's a blast, check out my KZfaq site when you get the chance. The FAA here in the USA outlawed FPV with the Fat Shark type goggles, line of sight and all, what asses. We'll get that over turned soon. See you in the air David. Wayne - PARCQR

Plz... Space is not 20 miles... The Karman Line defines the boundary between earth's athmosphere and space. This Kalman line is 100km (60 miles) above sea level. So that guy just made 1/3 of his way to space (which is actually really impressive, but it's not space ^^). Also it is theoreticaly impossible to reach space with a baloon filled with helium or hydrogen (otherwise SpaceX would have done it long ago to send their satellite into orbit ^^) The thumnail is missleading. The video was taken with a very wide angle camera. Because of this, the image is very very distorted. With another camera the earth would have been a lot more flat :)

Duncan Lewis , I'm pretty sure most of them actually didn't have the idea, but tracked the media to find these ideas, with the help of their fund, they were able to create it. So annoying, the best thing we can do is go silent and not let corporation have a single hint of our idea, trust me, it work better, that explain why only a few of my idea instead of twenty are coming out this years, but you know, others can also have the idea and ruin it or actually publish it on time. The corporation just take the advantages just because they want profit and control, thing less.

Well it has to do with pilot flying the plane. Fish eye lens gives wider area to see that is really good when piloting with camera and like SpydreX said there isint that many that are light enough for this intention. Of course you could swap the gopro lens, but even then these flat earthers wont get it that this planet is fucking huge compared to us and it would take little more than weather balloon and glider to get into space..
