IT HAS TAKEN
MONTH OF PROTOTYPING,
BUT I THINK
I FINALLY COME
PERFECT DESIGN FOR
MY THROWABLE CAMERA.
VERSION 1
A REALLY ROUGH
JUST A STRAIGHT
A GOPRO ON
IT SAW OUT
BUT IT OVERALL
WORKED PRETTY WELL.
MAGNETIC ON THE
SIDE.
VERSION 2 WAS
MUCH BIGGER AND
BULKIER BECAUSE I
ADDED A MUCH BIGGER CAMERA
BUT IT IS
A 360 DEGREE
SO WE CAN
SEE EVERYTHING AROUND
TIME.
WAS THESE GET
IN THE WAY.
VERSION 3
A FAILED ATTEMPT.
DO THE MATH
CORRECTLY,
THESE SLABS TO
ACT AS THE
CENTERPIECES.
ACTUAL VIEWPOINT FROM
THE CENTER ISN'T
AS OBSCURED.
BUT YOU STILL
AMOUNT OF STRUCTURAL
BECAUSE YOU'RE BASICALLY
AMOUNT OF FILAMENTS
HERE.
AND WITH THIS
WORKED OUT ALL
OF THE KINKS
AND NOW THE
360 DEGREE CAMERA
FITS INSIDE IT.
I'LL SHOW YOU
IS MUCH,
MUCH BETTER THAN
VERSION 2.
AND IT'S REALLY
STRUCTURALLY SECURE.
LET'S DO A
BIT OF MEASURING.
THIS IS VERSION
THE CAMERA INSIDE
IT
OUT TO 1
FOUR OUNCES.
VERSION 2 IS
GONNA COME OUT
TO 1 AND
7.7 OUNCES.
SO I WANNA
60% MORE AND
VERSION 4 IS
1 POUND AND
4.7 OUNCES.
SO A SIGNIFICANT
IMPROVEMENT OVER VERSION
2.
SO WE IMPROVE
SIGNIFICANTLY,
VALUE FROM VERSION
4 OVER VERSION
2 IS THE
FIELD OF VIEW.
THIS 360
CAMERA CAN SEE
EVERYTHING AROUND IT,
BUT THOSE BARS
GET IN THE WAY.
YOU CAN DEFINITELY
YOU DEFINITELY HAVE
FIELD OF VIEW,
BUT THEY'RE JUST
KINDA KILLING THE
VIBE.
NOW COMPARE VERSION 2
TO WHAT
YOU GET WITH
VERSION 4.
VIEW IS SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPROVED.
I DON'T THINK WE COMPROMISE
AT ALL ON
STRUCTURAL STABILITY.
SO I'D SAY
AROUND, MAYBE LIKE 65
TO 70% FIELD
OF VIEW TO
AROUND LIKE 85
TO 90%.
AND THEN THERE
OF EXTRA BONUSES.
2, I HAD
COMPROMISE.
IN ORDER TO
PROPERLY PROTECT AND
SHIELD THE CAMERA,
ADD THIS BUTT
AND THAT DOESN'T
MAKE IT VERY
SYMMETRICAL.
IT'S UGLY, IT'S A
LITTLE INEFFICIENT.
UM, THIS IS
TOTALLY NEUTRAL ALL
THE WAY AROUND.
SO, YEAH,
I'M DONE WITH
IS TAKING ME
I'M REALLY EXCITED
UM, I'M PROBABLY
GONNA PAINT IT
AND I'M GOING
MODS THAT I
CAN MAGNETICALLY ATTACH
TO THE SIDE,
ITSELF IS COMPLETE.
USING IT IN
LIVE STREAMS,
EVERY WEDNESDAY AT
AROUND LIKE 6
ISH PM EASTERN
TIME IN THE
US.
UM, VERY COOL.
ABOUT IT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR
FOR MODIFICATIONS, LET
THE COMMENTS.
Transcript
It has taken me about a month of prototyping, but I think I finally come up with the perfect design for my throwable camera. Version 1 was a really rough prototype, just a straight cube. It had a GoPro on the center. It saw out in one direction, but it overall worked pretty well. It was magnetic on the side. Version 2 was much bigger and bulkier because I added a much bigger camera, but it is a 360 degree, so we can see everything around it all the time. The only issue was these get in the way. Version 3 was a failed attempt. I didn't do the math correctly, but I wanted these slabs to act as the centerpieces. That way the actual viewpoint from the center isn't as obscured. But you still get the same amount of structural because you're basically the same amount of filaments here. And with this, I worked out all of the kinks and now the 360 degree camera fits inside it. I'll show you is much, much better than version 2. And it's really structurally secure. Let's do a bit of measuring. This is version 1, the camera inside it. It comes out to 1 pound and 4 ounces. Version 2 is gonna come out to 1 and 7.7 ounces. So I wanna say like 50, 60% more and version 4 is 1 pound and 4.7 ounces. So a significant improvement over version 2. So we improve significantly, value from version 4 over version 2 is the field of view. This 360 camera can see everything around it, but those bars get in the way. You can definitely you definitely have field of view, but they're just kinda killing the vibe. Now compare version 2 to what you get with version 4. View is significantly improved. I don't think we compromise at all on structural stability. So I'd say around maybe like 65 to 70% field of view to around like 85 to 90%. And then there are a couple of extra bonuses. 2, I had compromise. In order to properly protect and shield the camera, add this butt and that doesn't make it very symmetrical. It's ugly, it's a little inefficient. Um, this is totally neutral all the way around. So, yeah, I'm done with this is taking me I'm really excited. Um, I'm probably gonna paint it and I'm going to mods that I can magnetically attach to the side, itself is complete. Using it in live streams, every Wednesday at around like 6 ish PM Eastern Time in the US. Um, very cool. About it. Any questions or for modifications, let the comments. But yeah, sick.
