Thanks to its portable nature and durable design, the GoPro camera has allowed action junkies, thrill seekers, and other adventurous sorts to shoot unique videos and post them to YouTube. Some of these videos end up on the GoPro YouTube channel, while others are posted by independent creators. Two members of the latter group are David and Ryan, the hosts of a channel called Eclectical Engineering that has served up a particularly crazy GoPro video.
Eclectical Engineering’s “GoPro Hero 4 Session” begins at a 3D printer, from which David and Ryan printed a powerful cannon. They then loaded their camera into the cannon and launched it high into the San Francisco sky, where it delivered stunning aerial views of the surrounding it landscape. On the other side of its journey, it landed in another high-tech piece of equipment: A baseball glove, which David used to catch the falling camera.
The GoPro cannon shot is Eclectical Engineering’s first video, and it marks the new channel as one to watch. It will be hard for David and Ryan to top their incredible YouTube debut, but they have access to a 3D printer and a pair of fancy engineering degrees, so I’m excited to see what they come up with next.
