A Disc's Life

[timg]

Ever wonder what a disc sees on its way to the basket? We decided to find out. A co-worker and I put this together after figuring out how to mount a camera to a disc.

Wow that's awesome! How did you mount the camera?

[bikinjack]

Interesting idea. I'd like to see a pic of the set-up mounted on the disc. As for the video, I'm not sure if I want to vomit or have a seizure. Cool none the less.

[zenbot]

Wow. How did you get it to shoot forward?

[Jay Dub]

That's great! Love the ending!

How many cameras did you go through for this?

[SethH]

That was sweet. Is this the first time this has been done? I've seen cameras on discs before, but they would just spin around with the disc, so all you saw was a big blur.

Awesome vid Tim, you HAVE to strap that thing on top of a putter!

My co-worker designed a special mount just for the disc with a bearing in it, took some trial and error. The camera is pretty durable. I went through 3 discs and the camera held up. After hitting enough trees the disc's flight just became to wobbly to produce a decent picture.

I did almost get an ace with the camera but the footage was kinda crappy so I didn't include it. I hit the side of the basket... would have been awesome

Love it!

That's pretty cool.
