360° Camera in a Cannon!

throwing someone out of the

cannon

in vr no dude, it's like the life of a bug Two years ago we made a video where we put a gopro on this little arrow and stuck it in a

cannon

and shot it several hundred feet in the air, It was a really cool experiment, but we've never had the need to do it again until this year we started getting some really cool 360

camera

s, so today I'm going to design something to put a 360

camera

on a canon and shoot it. up into the sky and see what kind of cool images we can get if we get good 360 images.

Can we throw someone out of the canon in VR? I'm serious, is there a way to be in the canyon with an oculus or something? Yeah that's the best idea we should definitely do it assuming the footage works we could totally release it like any VR device put you on playback and watch you go mate so it really is a gear room in a cannon, we have to make this work. because I want to be shot out of the cockpit, so the basis of this whole video is going to be based on this giant air cannon, all the air that was compressed here shoots out through this cannon and everything that was here shoots out. at really high speed here we have the insta360 one .

I have to be able to design a case that is this thick. Yes, this is supposed to prevent it from breaking. Why not use a slightly older camera? Still, it's great. We filmed that whole damn arrow video with this thing. So how much free space does it allow you to buy? It gives me a lot more room to design a case around it, that has a lot of power, I mean, remember what happened with the gopro, oh honey, that one is so high that we killed the gopro, which makes you think it will survive, no offense. insta360 but if they are not, we can break a gopro session which are like diamonds in terms of hardness.

I don't know if the little insta360 will make it. I'm going to get to the drawing board so I can get started. designing something to hold this because look at this, this is not going to work, you got it right, I think I have a design, I'm actually very happy with this. I've been getting better at using Fusion 360 for modeling. things, let's press print. I have these three pieces on the same plate printing at the same time. In the end I will be able to clean everything and glue it. It will be a finished product. The idea. was to imitate the gopro mortar, but this one only has three fins and apparently it is more stable if you have four fins, the problem I ended up running into quickly is that to transform this area into something that can fit and at the same time have a long enough glue to keep it stable, it quickly outgrew the limits of our 3D printing volume, so I had to split it into different parts, one that will hold the camera and then another to fit into the glue, so the thing about 3D printing is that lay down a sheet of plastic, one slice at a time, the plastic is quite strong, but layer by layer you depend on the adhesion between each of those slices and that is less strong, so I decided to print it sideways, so the way it the plastic runs the entire length of the thin parts of the design, keeping it nice and strong, and I think it worked, I think it worked, get this out of here, get the time-lapse cameras out of here, chances are I'll have it.

I had to do a lot of sanding to get things to fit, but I'm happy it fits. I'm actually very proud of this little design. I managed to make several pieces to make a single piece and now the final piece, this is the 3D model. I was showing them to you yesterday and now it's a real physical thing in your hands, they're shirts, guys, oh God, why did they always copy? They were wearing my shirt, that's my face, get out of here. I'm always up to something. Oh, like a glove, look at that. look how perfectly it fits, so it fits really well on one side, but on the other side it has gaps and that's so it can actually be removed, this screw here is going to come in through the bottom like this and then it's supposed to which is supposed to come out the bottom, check it, so now I have the little screw there that should be able to mount to the camera, it fits perfectly, and speaking of which, I just realized we have to find some way to throw this out of the barrel, if we just put this in the barrel right now, all the air will surround it and it won't even come out of the barrel, so you need some kind of filler, yeah, what are fillers called? they were used on muskets in the past, damn musket stuffer, yeah we need some kind of musket stuffer, I'll probably 3D print a 50 millimeter wide circle, but the moment the disc leaves the barrel it flies away , it's just meant to push, but not really. fly with the arrow here I think this is ready to be shot out of a cannon tomorrow we go to the park tomorrow morning signal tomorrow and we are here hopefully this works yes we are here today at Whittier Park to shoot a camera out of a cannon again That's why I'm playing this beat and singing this song because Ren is going to have a lot of fun, he's going to put on a helmet or maybe he's not going to try to catch him in the field, maybe he's not going to ride on his one wheel?

He definitely he will and now we're going to go and shoot this camera. We have one chamber per shot, which means we only have enough air to shoot this thing twice and the chamber will probably break. each means one camera, one shot, I give it a 50 50 chance, which basically means I don't know if it will break or not, I will press record if the lens cleans it well. It went to this finger, so it's definitely clean. now manipulation, that didn't go as planned, there you go, okay, oh, I love that sound, okay, you're okay, you're right, wait a minute, I'm going to open this one first and then you take it off, you rolled it. right yeah I rolled it ready go yeah ready this is the big moment oh my gosh no helmet ready three two one oh that was spinning and it went so far so I know the cap landed on Somewhere around here Niko goes after what he really likes. it spun like crazy when it left, oh I found it and it's still recording, oh it totally broke though dude look at that yeah so it just broke the tail but that's why I printed two tails assuming was actually able to stabilize. it'll be fine, it works, it works, it worked, it worked, there's a moment where it doesn't stabilize and it crashes and then it just clicked, dude, oh my god, it looks so much more stable than the gopro, which is so cool, oh OMG, it worked.

We'll shoot straight up next time I think we can do it right. I'm going to shoot from right here three two one guy caught it not bad oh yeah, yeah, we're back. Wren is on a phone call that could set up a tedx talk, but while he does that we have fresh air, okay, let's go up when Jake is ready, ready, three two one, great, he's so high up, oh my god, he's so high, boom, oh it's done, it's dead, it's done, completely demolished the prince, oh my god, it's in pieces maybe the camera is okay way higher than I thought maybe the camera is okay oh, it's there buddy , no sword moves in what happened, I take it from your reaction, it didn't go well, close your eyes, there are pieces, right? pieces what happened remember when calvin dropped his dad's binoculars and they turned to dust oh my god, wait, did this happen because of the impact?

Yeah, he was buried in the ground, he was like two or three times taller than the gopro. We're back from the field. the third shot which was very high hit the ground with so much force that it actually blew up the 360 ​​camera's SD card. That camera was still working when the card came out which meant the file was basically corrupted. I tried to get it back, but I couldn't. Do it so we took this whole experiment to the max to the point where it wrecked the whole case, but luckily we have a couple of good clips and I've put them together into a 360 video that we can see today in VR, so I'm currently within canon and it looks like I'm in a fucking missile silo, okay, I shoot one, let's see how this goes, and wow, it's actually no joke, it's not a joke, it was okay, the crash landing was a little disorienting, but okay, that one It was much stranger.

That first one, are you looking at the missile silo? Yeah, I'm inside like a huge missile silo like a little cannonball. Goodbye, cruel and crash world, this is really cool, here's the direct, oh, oh, shoot, you don't need to go get me. I'm safe in Nico's towel oh no, I'm like a guy, it's like a bug's life, whoa, yeah, there you go, there you go, what's that little thing? Yeah that made my stomach turn when you look down that speed there is a link in the description to an unlisted version of that 360 video so you can experience what it's like to be launched from a camera too if you have a VR or Google headset Cardon, any 360 mobile viewing platform of your choice.

Yes, we are here. with another episode of the runner's team to film a video for nodo, wait nodes, right, hello guys, nico from nodo, here I am the n the o is the mark in the d is obviously sam and the e is
