- This is a condensed video of our high altitude weather balloon flight that took place in Canandaigua, NY just outside of the Rochester New York area. The flight traveled to an altitude of 105,798 FT. (32,247m) over the Finger Lakes region of New York and landed southwest of Syracuse, NY. This is a condensed video showing the entire 2 hour flight in just under 4 minutes. Surface winds were quite high for launch, so we performed a "running launch" to ensure the atmospheric balloon was directly above the payload when we released it so it wouldn't swing and bounce off the ground. Pauses in the telemetry overlay are due to the data collector pausing while it sends a radio transmission to report its position back to us on the ground.

Great job on video. But these cameras also have audio. I would rather hear what the GoPro microphone picks up, even if it just wind, rather than music.
That beeping around 3:10 is basically what you would hear the whole time. That's the audio beacon used to help find the balloon. Trust me, it gets really annoying really quickly.
I thought I heard a tap/bump
I’m not a fan of heights and even watching this being recorded is a bit nerve racking haha. Really cool!
I agree . The view would be awesome to see but I’m good here on the ground .
I'm not afraid of heights - I'm afraid of widths.
What GPS system did you use to find the gopro ??
Is there any Beacon/ repeater module for ham radio?
These vids always amaze me no matter how much I watch them
why?
What lake was that seen right before the drop
Beautiful footage! By any chance, have you ever had troubles with the camera? I’m also working on a High Altitude Ballon project and the gopros (they’re GoPro 3+) directly facing the sun shuts down by itself only 30 min into the flight. We’re guessing that the heat from sun has to do with this, but wondering if anyone else has also experienced similar issues and know how to avoid it.
Great job on this video! I think you really captured the essence of this flight perfectly.
How do you make sure the camera doesn't smoke someone in the head?
Nice flight! Sweet shot of the snow in the clouds, first time I've seen that!
What camera was used for this? So cool!!
What balloon did you use and where can you get it?
A weather balloon
What did you use for your tracking device? Thank you.
Great video! Just subscribed. I'm watching for pointer on making my fight videos better!
Which GoPro did u guys used?
Hi ! Can the Go Pro live streaming for high altitudes?
Think you'd struggle to get a signal from over 100,000 feet away.
Hard to believe the sun is 93 million miles away 😂
Why?
@@msidc1238 why do you believe it is? Because NAZA says?
@@rustysancho The distance between the Earth and the Sun was known before NASA.
Hard to believe how big the sun is!?
@@rustysancho I'd rather trust MSFS.
I wonder how much more altitude could be achieved by fitting a pressure release valve, that slowly let excess pressure out as it got close to the balloon's limit, to keep the balloon from breaking as it got close to its otherwise max. I wonder if it would eventually find an equilibrium, and stay up for too long, and become unrecoverable, as the batteries die.
Benjamin Brant. You man hit the stucco ceiling and bust the balloon.
People actually have done this sort of thing, and used solar panels
I THOOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALso, they could launch a rocket as high as it can go, THEN DEPLOY a balloon and regulate the air in ballon!
@CrewPostor I'm pretty sure he was joking. The 😉 hints to it being a joke.
@CrewPostor what do you mean it doesn't exist 🤔?
Awesome video!
Top height min?
i have question, how can go pro withstand cold to -60Celcius, where average electronic just -40C?
GoPros generate a lot of heat while recording. We also insulate them from the cold and they only spend a few minutes at peak cold levels. Temperature of the cameras rarely drops below +40°F on our flights.
@@OLHZN how abot your diy measurement instruments? Like arduino and other sensor. Is it generate heat enough to warm them?
@@RickardoPandiangan our flight computer doesn't generate nearly as much heat, but it's in the same insulated area so the insulation + electronic heat keeps all the electronics above roughly +40°F
@@OLHZN i have project to build radio sonde that can return to home (rth). Maybe it will embedded with flight controller. But i concern about electrical. Like ESC, servo, battery, etc. I will keep update. Any suggestion?
Song name?
Absolutely amazing
How much did this cost yall? I would like to do this myself.
30 km ?
How far the ballon fallen from launch areaa?
Good question
Reading the description and doing some Google Mapping, I found that they launched from these coordinates (42°54'30.4"N 77°16'19.6"W). You'll see the fields, shed, and paths seen on the drone footage as the balloon goes up.
Unfortunately, "over the Finger Lakes region of New York and landed southwest of Syracuse, NY" isn't specific enough, but gives us enough information to know it traveled somewhere between the range of 44-56 miles.
Great detective work, although you could've saved the time by visiting the flight website which has the exact launch & landing coordinates as well as fight details like travel distance. 😉 This flight landed 47.81 miles downrange: overlookhorizon.com/flight-11
Would you have the same result if you used more than 1 balloon? What about the material of the balloons... Very interesting!
Would love to see one in the far southern hemisphere.
Me too. What would we see?/
Always Teste Yes would be i interesting to see what upside down space looks like lol
Well actually, a team of 4 sixteen year old students sent a balloon to 36,000 metres (120k feet) and recorded it with a 360 degree 4K camera..... it’s on CZcams now and it’s stunning!
@@johnd1466 Well we say the same jajaja
@MrEyeswideopen7 What do you mean by 'unedited' and how would this footage look any different to what's seen in this video?
What kind of altimeter is used to measure the altitude of the balloons?
Primarily, a uBLox GPS module which is accurate to +- 2.5m... we also have a pressure altimeter backup.
@@OLHZN Thank you. Is this something I can buy on your website? I am also going to buy the Lightdow LD4000 from your website as well.
Also, would a StratoTrack work? It has GPS, altimeter, and weather modules.
How did you get the flight info on screen (elevation, temps, speed, etc)?
Just curious.
I bought one of your boards and all the components have recently came in. About ready to start assembly.
By the way, if you have already answered this I apologize. I have watched a ton of your videos but do not recall if you have mentioned it or not.
No problem... we use a software called DashWare to overlay our telemetry data on top of the videos.
Is any approval needed before launching these? Chances may be unlikely, but if a jet sucks that into an engine it may be bad news. But, I have no idea. Just something I wondered about.
You need to notify the FAA as well as being aware of other regulations. This is a decent breakdown. launchwithus.com/lwu-blog/2016/01/21/high-altitude-weather-balloon-laws-and-regulations
This is really well done! Super high altitude achieved and great video editing / music / sounds :)
Just by the air temperature, you can tell that the ballon exploded at 2/3 of the stratosphere, at 32 km, a little higher than the maximum concentration of the ozone layer.
Where are the satellites
@@Gabrielladiaries What???
@@Gabrielladiaries Satellites orbit at least 600 kilometres from sea level.
So Awesome. Thanks for the great view.Amazing!!!!!!
And the world record for a weather balloon is around 174 000 feet up in the air.
That is pretty insane.
How does the camera survive that kind of fall was it smashed to pieces and they just recovered the film inside or is it in some kind of protective housing like a reinforced plastic box? I swear I'm not trolling I really want to know how a GoPro survives that kind of fall.
The payload has a parachute and gently lands at only about 6 m/s
@@OLHZN Thank you so much for clearing that up.
@@dannytheman1313 Do you actually think that modern cameras such as GoPro's record the footage onto film?
@@sailorman8668 When I said film it wast in the literal sense of the word I know GoPro's don't actually have reels inside them. But there is something inside that captures the images and I wanted to know how it survived the drop.
@@dannytheman1313 Do you know what a USB flash drive is?
A GoPro camera has similar hardware inside it that enables the images coming through the lens to be 'written' electronically onto the storage hardware.
There are no moving parts to this, and the unit can withstand many G's of force before any loss of data occurs due to physical damage.
And yes, the camera was contained within a protective box to negate any damage to the camera upon landing.
how did you go 3 more miles than anyone else most balloons explode around 90,000 feet
Your expectation is just not correct. NWS balloons which are smaller than ours consistently reach over 100K ft. HABs can easily reach over 100K ft. In fact, only 2 of our flights have terminated below 100K ft.
Cut a tree just to retrieve the camera?
Why you cut tree?
The payload was 75 ft. up and the landowner wanted to cut it down for firewood anyways.
Loved the flight up and down! The music was engaging, the cuts were on point with the music. The descent through the rain was extra special. Thanks for the great video of Mother Earth
This is an awesome video.
It is amazing when you see the balloon at the edge of space - it is so stunning - the beauty of the earth against the darkness of space. Extraordinary images when the balloon bursts of the little bits of shredded balloon material perfectly lit up by sunlight against black space. The only 'even better if' is to please try to find alternative ways of getting them out of trees rather than cutting the tree down - I do understand it is not easy. We have to be even more careful when the leaves are on the trees: there could be birds that are nesting & we must avoid disturbing them. As a non-profit charitable organisation I am sure you will appreciate all the positive values I am suggesting here. Nevertheless, thank you: this was the first high-altitude balloon of this type I have seen on a video & it was fascinating.
The music , montage , everything pieced all together and you get this badass of a video.
Not recommended for the flat-earth believers though...
Did you actually cut down at tree ?
Yes. The tree was dead and the property owner already had it marked to cut down for firewood. We just accelerated that timeline. 🙂
Why’d you cut so much out?!?
Because it would have been 2 hours long?
unedited videos are about 2 hours long.
How far away did it land?
How does this not prove the earth is a globe..
Wide angle camera
zdub911 ikr idiotic flattys
Bro there were so many cuts In this It’s weird
@@davidbaez357 Earth is a globe.
You should capitalize the numbers in the title.
Hello my friend, I want a color of 1000 grams. How much is the gas?
NASA=LIARS
plus why does the earth never spin if it is going 1000mph
1000 at the equator is half the speed of a hour hand on a clock. Also why would the weather balloon suddenly lose all its momentum from the rotation of the Earth?
@@msidc1238everything loses momentum. Sit on top of a car at 59 miles an hour and throw a ball up in the air. What happens to the ball? It goes flying backwards
@@elyjahstark7549isn't it weird that these same clowns can be found defending the globe on every high altitude video on CZcams?
Pretty cool. I'm planning to release a 20 foot Saturday morning. Any advise?
Update Sunday December 2021:ballon popped
did you find it
how it land to same town ?
What goes up must come down
It didn't. It landed 47 miles away. You should read the description. Here is the flight info: www.overlookhorizon.com/flight-11/
I wonder at what altitude do "flying objects" cease to rotate with the Planet's atmosphere. We are told an airplane that has a flight pattern directed to Miami ends up in Miami rather than being required to plot a course for Houston to arrive in Miami... because the object moves with the atmosphere. So hence my question.
@@davidjack7418 So it went up and came back down, BUT the Planet had rotated so it landed 47 miles away?
@@RasMerkabah I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the first comment regarding Miami. An airplane uses an engine and thrust to overcome gravity and atmosphere and propel itself to its destination.
In the case of the balloon it is also affected by gravity and a rotating atmosphere even while aloft. The reason for its movement while midair is from wind. While atmosphere does rotate with the planet, winds and weather patterns can and do move counter to the rotation of the Earth.
song name? :D
ear cancer
Awesome
No trees were harmed in the making of this video -
the big challenge is we need to make a balloon that doesn't react to the cold so it rises higher
It's not that the balloon explodes because of the cold. It explodes because it expands as the air pressure gets lower. The balloon can expand to 6 metres.
@@simjam1980 can't you have a nother balloon only half full
2:02 is probably when the ballon popped.
2:42 is that rain??
Snow & ice actually.... (on a 50°F day!)
Wow amazing!!
Who here bc of your rage?
flat earthers boil my blood, man
2:18 Why the balloon xplode?
go back to school
The air pressure gets lower the higher you go and the balloon starts to expand. At that height, the air pressure will be very low. I'm sure the extreme cold will also have some effect but the main reason is the low air pressure.
@@DariusKhan Ok thanks that explain a lot of things
Cool vid the music....not so.much
Amazing how its falls with accurate landing from such heights
AWESOME!
Wonder if anyone thought of balloon flight of the 9oz. DJI Mini2 ........ live data feed back to earth 😳🤷🏼♂️😳
Making a game where you are a weather balloon, and you need to steer your way out of objects so you don’t pop and stuff. The more levels you get the better types of balloon you get for higher altitudes. For example the default is a simple weather balloon but as you level up you unlock a zero pressure balloon, for higher altitude
Nice
Awesome!!
There's hundreds of these videos proving the globe earth, but zero videos of videos like these proving s flat earth. Interesting huh? Flat earthers are afraid of the truth.
Exactly
*lake erie
U can see it here too. best view of it on the highest point but can also be seen when the flight starts (what is a bit irritating to me idk) The video got also cut
a lot before the cam goes up idk why
0:58 and 1:17. Did you even watch the video? The camera lense is affecting. This is not proof for anything
The video was cut and edited too much for me.
What caused the balloon to pop?
The low air pressure in extreme high altitudes causes the air in the balloon to expand until it pops.
Definitely not the firmament 😂
Flat earther shot it down
Keto Crispy 😂👍
32000 mt
Sorry we have you beat 108,000 ft
Music kinda ruins the experience 😒
Spheroid
were are those flat dudes now, this an relatively afordable experiment that anybody with some funds can do
0:58 and 1:17 show you this video has a lense that affects the curves. Watch the vid lmao
The Earth is not flat.
Why?
Can't you see that there is a horizon?
If it's flat: there's a horizon, you can't see behind it
If sphere: no horizon, disappears, goes down: you see behind it.
The "Planet" is not "Earth". Earth is dry land. SEE: Genesis 1:10.
@@kissbela7409 so on your model of a flat earth where does the sun go when it disappears over the horizon?
How come at any point in time someone( but not everyone) on the planet can see the sun?
@@kissbela7409 Theres always a horizon no matter what shape the Earth is. A horizon is an imaginary line where the sky and the ground meet.
hi
Um the next flight put a camera suspended by a tape to prevent turning
Didn't really think that one through did ya. What's to stop the wind just turning the whole camera balloon setup 😂
@@garykeenan9897 Um just use more tape.. 🙄😂
That farmer was awesome! Chain sawing a tree down to help you guys. #farmeroftheyear #spacelobster
A random guy did not create earth
Cutting a tree to save a camera? Seriously? Plenty of other ways to go about that.
The tree was dead and already marked to be removed by the land owner later that year.
Assuming it was alive ? Seriously ? ways to go about checking that assumption before barking.
Why do all balloons burst at this particular atmosphere? ☝️nobody accounts for the significant DECREASE in temperature which results in the condensing the gas in the balloon to shrink. Yet everyone claims atmospheric pressure pops the balloon.
Due to the decreasing air pressure as the balloon ascends, it expands in size, to the point where it reaches it's limits to expand any further without bursting.
The temperature of the atmosphere has very little to do with the change in the balloon's size.
If only you'd known the facts, instead of spouting your misinformation.
Try harder Wade.
Get off the internet and go read a book. Your ignorance is showing.
go 80km
Poor tree
Fortunately for us, it was already dead and the landowner already marked it to be cut down for firewood. We just accelerated that timeline.
OLHZN Space Balloons oh well that sounds good.
Wouldn’t want any of you to get hurt climbing a dead tree.
Great video
There goes a UFO, top left...2:23

This is proof you csnnot see the curvature of earth from within our own atmosphere. Thats all no hole view of our planet can be obtained from this hight no matter what lens you use. But I have questions.
1. if the earth is flat and spins why dont we see the southern night skys.
2. Why is there an equator.
3. Why does Polaris not show in the sky below the equator and the southern cross not show in the northern sky.
4. Why is there North, South, East and West,
5. What purpose would longitude and lattatude have on a flat eath model.
6. How does day and night work. Seeing i face time Japan and its daytime while night time here. How does a flat earth model divide daylight and darkness
7. Where the hell would magnetic north be in the flat earth model. (Physics says it would be centered. Wheres the center.
8. When flying from Alaska to Bejieng over the North pole why does the compass point in one direction ahead of you then spins and points behind you.
9. Why havent we found any edges. Everything flat has an edge.
10. Why does the northern hemidphere sky rotate in a deferential direction from the southern hemisphere sky
11. Why are they called hemispheres.
Wait so it landed in some random guys tree and he offered to cut the whole tree down?! Haha
You could show this to a flat earther in person and they'd still deny the planet is curved.
