There is similar video which did others, but didn't use a contour. Strongly stirs the chamber, the head is turned. It is necessary to warm.

I think they had a guy with a rocket pack follow it up so that he could retrieve it once it reached outerspace. He probably chilled out at one of the space stations, most likely drinking a chai spaced latte before heading back to Earth with the camera.

Of course it was in a case. You can see the reflection of the contour towards the end of the video. This has been done w/ an Iphone before. You wrap the camera in hand warmers to help w/ the battery life. They probably had a GPS of some type (or even a smartphone) in there w/ the contour to get it back. Cool vid. And agreed, the Contour GPS would be great for this, except I doubt battery life would last but maybe with an external battery source??

I was wondering... Was the camera inside of a hard case? How the camera responded to such altitude, and what about the battery, did it held long enough?

When I've seen examples with time lapse photography of the same experiment, they put a GPS device on the rig that output its location. That way once the camera floated back to earth they could drive out and pick it up.

Brilliant! Perfect choice of music. So, how DID you recover the camera. Too bad it wasn't a GPS. I'd like too see the climb rate. Good job!
