I guess if you’d put in some kind of counter weight attached to the lens part, it would have captured a (kind of) steady image on the way down!

Totally cool. Would have been nice to have an altimeter in view of the lens so you could see how high at any given time.

Is there a chute slowing the decent or is that just the drag from the ripped balloon that seemed to slow the fall? Seemed to not be falling very fast at the end.
