High Altitude Balloon 3 (Camera H4)

This is my third launch of a High Altitude Balloon. It was Launch from Santa Nella, Ca. on June 21, 2016 at 3:24 am. It landed in Ceres, Ca. at about 6:31 am. Maximum Altitude was 114,995.1 feet. First slight of sun light came at about 04:00 am at a altitude of 35,224.1 feet, while the sun was centered over north Africa. That would be a lot of curvature. This is the first of three videos I recorded on this balloon I will upload the next video when it is encoded. This recording was done with a Go Pro Hero 4 Black with a lens. Oh yea The stars are very faint and hard to see view in full HD if you can, and look for little flashes of light I was able to catch them all the way up. I’ve been asked what I used to make the videos, here is a list of the major items Go Pro Hero 3 silver, Go Pro Hero 4 black, Sony HDR-AS15, mm lens, lens, two backup batteries, Data recorder, GPS tracker, Aviditi 214C Insulated Shipping Containers, 7 foot parachute, audible beacon for rockets, two ball bearing swivels, paracord, Hwoyee 2000g balloon, balloon helium 300 cylinder, and for my last launch, radar reflector,and 4 warning lights, software, windows movie maker, magix video pro premium 2015, Microsoft windows 7 and ASTRA High Altitude Balloon Flight Planner. It will cost about $2200 to get started.
