Stream your GoPro live to Youtube:

This is his first try. He has some tutorials on his channel without the slight lag. Pretty cool idea (ie. "live" Youtube that anyone can easily do).

Homey B, you've previously said a balloon would be stupid simple to do. Is that still true? Might give us some crazy overhead shots.

Balloon seems ridiculously cheaper than a drone. I'd been looking at a quadrocopter kit, the Arducopter is five hundred bucks shipped. http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/
When in doubt, nuke it from orbit...

I could potentially be interested in throwing in for a drone like that.

But, yeah, for just aerial shots of us playing a tethered balloon seems the way to go from my point of view.

Talk of camera placement:

I've tried just about every possible place to mount a camera on a mask. Left, right, top, visor, right side of visor, left side of visor, under visor (sticks out really far) and even on my nose...

The best I have found is with the lens between your nose and your left eye. (has to be between your eyes, as you lean out enough for both of your eyeballs to see your target, so you can judge distance). If you center it exactly, you end up getting hopper shots, but if you move it over another inch, it will still pick up everything, and get almost no hopper. A low profile hopper obviously is better (tippmann A-5 low profile hopper works great paired with a cyclone).

You need something on the back of the camera to keep it from bouncing when you run. I used to use duct tape, but now I use a zip tie, as it is reusable, and works better.

Here is what you can expect with it mounted like that. (I film in 720hd with the 170 wide angle setting, you can go to 1080 and get a smaller field of view, but I personally like the widest angle as it shows more of what is going on.


What it films like:
